"Then after breakfast, can I go out for a walk? The sun is nice today. Staying indoors all the time is suffocating me."
After she said that, she paused.
Once upon a time, in that old castle, she had said the same thing to Ah Nian.
And that afternoon had been the happiest moment of her life.
Nian Shen's hand halted for a moment, then he nodded slightly. "Alright."
He had always refused before, but now he suddenly agreed, leaving Heather a little surprised.
After breakfast, Nian Shen kept his promise and let her go out to the yard for a walk, to enjoy the sunshine.
In her hospital gown, Heather stood under the sunlight and raised her head. Even though it was autumn, the sun today was so bright that it was hard to keep her eyes open. On such a sunny afternoon, there was a certain laziness in the air.
A gentle breeze blew.
Heather didn't say she was cold, but soon enough, a coat was draped over her shoulders.
