“It’s the yellow snake grass they have used in the drug. It will temporarily paralyze the vocal cords, but it usually doesn't last long, and she should be able to talk before too long."

Archie nodded, and only then did he let Brian send the doctor out.

After they had all left, he walked over to the bed and looked at the woman lying on it.

Natalia was now much quieter, lying silently under the quilt, motionless, as if she was asleep.

Only the small face of her, still flushed with a thin layer of scarlet, had somehow revealed her pain and endurance.

Archie looked at her for a while, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he just turned around and walked away.

A few seconds later, the sound of water clattering came from the bathroom.

Natalia opened her eyes in a daze and felt a strong, tall shadow looming towards her.

"Let’s go have some cold water for a while, huh?"

She looked at him and nodded.

Archie picked her up from the bed with both of his hands and walked towards the bathroom.

The wide bathtub was already well filled with water, and Archie put her in. The cold water caused her to shiver, and she couldn't help but hold her arms tight.

"Can you sit still by yourself?"

Natalia nodded, wanting to say yes, but right after the man let go of her, her body went limp and she plunged straight into the water involuntarily.

A soft sigh of helplessness rang out overhead.

The next second, she was scooped up from under the water, and she coughed a few times in pain and spat out a mouthful of water.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, a towel came up and in a not-so-gentle motion, he wiped the water off her face. And then there was the sound of water splashing.

He also sat in the tub.

He sat right behind her, letting her lean against him, with his arms wrapping around her.
