Chapter 37 Sewn 'Lily'

• After savoring the last bite of the delicious meal Kiro had brought, I turned my attention to Mother's well-being. Gently, I gave her her medicine, knowing she needed rest after our lengthy conversation earlier in the day. The weariness in her eyes was evident, and soon enough, her eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted into a peaceful sleep. Dodong excusedhad to step out for a bit, leaving the room in silence.
• As the door closed, leaving Kiro and me alone in the private room's cozy lounge, a hint of shyness washed over me. I felt the need to explain myself, fearing that I had inconvenienced him by bringing here with me so suddenly.
• "I'm sorry for bringing you here so suddenly," I murmured, my gaze briefly meeting his before looking down at my hands.
