Chapter 247: Morning wake up
The morning sunlight filtered through the heavy velvet curtains of his chambers, casting long, golden streaks across the polished floorboards and the rumpled silk sheets.
Su Ping sat at the edge of the bed, his posture relaxed but his eyes remarkably sharp for the early hour.
He had been waiting for this moment, watching the steady rise and fall of Melinda's chest until the rhythm finally broke.
He watched her eyelids flutter, her lashes twitching against her cheeks as she slowly fought her way back to consciousness.
Although her eyes were still groggy, clouded with the lingering fog of a deep, forced sleep, and for a moment, she simply stared at the ceiling in a daze.
"Oh? Finally awake now are we?" Su Ping asked, his voice light and melodic, accompanied by a thin, knowing smile.
Melinda groaned softly as she tried to shift her weight and sit up straight. "What happened..." she muttered, her voice raspy and barely audible in the quiet room.
