730 I WILL SLEEP WITH YOU

"I am," Lilac said softly. "After all you haven't taken your medicine."

Jedrek groaned and raised his head, so Lilac couldn't continue what she was doing. "I said, I will not drink it," he said firmly, seemingly didn't want to leave any room for further negotiation, and then he took the towel from Lilac and dried his hair himself.

Lilac followed him into the room and took the bowl that she had put on the table, beside the bed. "Why? Do you think I will poison you?" she raised the bowl to her lips and took a gulp under Jedrek stern gaze. "See? This is safe."

It was apparent that the king didn't appreciate what she had done. "Even if you drink it, I will not." Jedrek continued to dry his hair, ignoring Lilac's frustrated grunt.

"Why? This is for you, how can you heal if you don't even drink it?" Every time Lilac saw the gruesome gashes behind Jedrek's back, she would grimace. It looked very painful. How could Jedrek pretend that it was okay?
