120 An Unexpected Presence

Ark Ville

 Roshan barely knew how long he stayed beside Anna who remained unconscious on the bed. Time seemed to slow down for him meanwhile it was getting past noon and Anna still hadn't woken up.

She looked sickly pale, yet so relaxed like a sleeping porcelain doll that didn't want to be disturbed just yet. He took her hand in his and affectionately interlaced their fingers together, giving the back of her palm a gentle pat before letting out a sigh that sounded soft, yet desperate at the same time.

"Wake up Anna." He knew his words couldn't do anything, but he hated to see her like this. She hasn't woken up since she passed out and it terrified him on the inside. Madame Alina had sent for their physician to come check on her, yet nothing was detected that must have triggered her unconscious state.
