THE CRESCENT PACK
Jasmine looked at him in shock.
Why was he being so kind?
He had cleaned her off her injuries and even tucked her into his bed; now, he was even offering her a meal.
"B-but my lord." She started.
He cut her short by glancing at her.
"You are weak." He said. "Have you had anything to eat at all? Since you left the dungeon?"
"Yes, the Queen offered me some snacks." She said. "I-I assure you that I am not hungry, my l-
At that moment, her stomach rumbled loudly, and shame could be seen well written on her face.
"Your body says otherwise." He said.
She went red, and then he rang the bell for a servant to come in.
Whilst they waited for the servant to come in, she scooted to the other end of the bed and became very conscious of the clothes she was wearing.
The door was opened, and a female servant came in.
It was one of the girls who had ganged up on her to beat her up.
She turned her face away.
"My lord." The girl said and then she saw the shock written all over her face just like when Lisa had come in.
"Ask the chef to bring a well-made meal for a recovering patient." He said.
"You are ill, my lord." The girl asked.
"No, it is Jasmine who is unwell." He said.
The girl’s face was written with further shock and disbelief.
"M-my lord, I assure you it is unnecessary. I am fine." Jasmine started to plead.
Her stomach rumbled loudly, and then he said. "I have decided that you will eat, which will be final."
Jasmine was shut up after that statement.
The girl had simply been watching the back and forth between them.
"Ask the chef to serve the meal and bring it up here." He instructed.
"W-what?" She asked, coming back to reality. "Y-yes, of course, my lord. Certainly."
And with that, she bowed and hurried out of the room.
Jasmine wanted the ground to swallow her whole.
This was only going to make the other servants hate her more.
Why?! Why Was he being so kind?
"You said you were cut. How again?" He asked her.
"C-cut?" She asked, confused.
He frowned, and then she remembered her lie.
"Oh. Yes. My cut." She tried to take her brain for how she had lied. "I had cut myself accidentally."
"I know. I am asking how." He asked again.
What had she said in the first place?
"Oh," she mumbled
Before she could respond the door was opened and Aurora graced in.
Jasmine felt her heart skip.
First, Belle was gone, and now it was Aurora.
Aurora from the moment that she had come in had her haughty gaze on Jasmine.
