The mont Silas learned everything, his expression turned incredibly ugly.
"If that’s truly the case," Silas growled coldly, "then why hasn’t Ivy awakened yet?"
The temporal storage calmly explained,
[Every person’s ntal state functions differently. Ivy herself is already in an extrely fragile condition emotionally and ntally. Even I never expected her emotional collapse to be this severe. She is struggling against herself far more than anyone realizes.]
Silas ignored the rest of its explanation. His entire attention focused solely on one thing.
How could he wake Ivy up?
Three weeks later, Ivy finally opened her eyes.
The mont her blurry vision cleared slightly, the first thing she saw was Silas’s exhausted face directly in front of her.
She froze instantly.
Then, almost desperately, she raised her trembling hands and held his face tightly.
However, the mont she tried sitting up, an intense weakness overwheld her body. It felt as though every bone inside her was on the verge of shattering apart.
Silas quickly wrapped his arms around her and carefully pulled her against his chest.
"There, there... don’t move," he whispered softly.
Ivy weakly leaned against him before asking in a hoarse voice, "How are you feeling?"
Hearing her first concern being directed toward him caused Silas’s eyes to burn painfully.
He had to forcefully stop himself from crying right there.
"I’m fine now," he replied quietly while stroking her hair gently.
"You don’t need to worry anymore. Everything is alright now."
The room fell silent afterward.
After a long while, Ivy finally whispered weakly, "Silas... I truly thought I would never see you again."
Her fingers tightened slightly around his clothes.
"Please don’t ever scare like that again. I beco terrified very easily..."
Hearing those trembling words shattered sothing inside Silas completely.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead lovingly before promising softly, "I won’t. I promise."
Only then did Ivy finally relax slightly. Her exhausted body quickly gave in again, and she closed her eyes once more.
Silas stared at her quietly before asking gently, "Do you want sothing to eat?"
However, Ivy gave no response.
A few seconds later, Silas realized she had already fallen asleep again.
Thankfully, this ti it was rely normal exhaustion and not another coma.
Four hours later, Ivy finally woke up properly. By then, Silas had already prepared food for her personally.
After helping her wash up, he realized just how weak she had beco.
Even standing up from the bed caused her legs to tremble violently.
The mont she lost her balance, Silas imdiately scooped her into his arms effortlessly.
Only then did he truly notice how much weight Ivy had lost again.
His heart imdiately tightened painfully.
After everything she had gone through previously, he had finally managed to help her regain so health and strength.
Yet now, she had beco frighteningly thin once again.
anwhile, Ivy noticed the pain hidden in his eyes and imdiately felt guilty. Without saying anything, she quietly buried her face against his chest.
Afterward, Silas carefully helped her finish washing up.
Surprisingly, despite the intimacy of the mont, he did not possess the slightest improper thought toward her.
Seeing her current fragile state only filled him with endless heartache.
Soon, he carried her toward the table before placing all the dishes down carefully.
The mont Ivy saw the food, she imdiately began eating.
She devoured everything rapidly as though she had been starving for an eternity.
In truth, she genuinely felt unbearably hungry, almost as though her body was desperately trying to make up for all the energy it had lost.
Plate after plate disappeared quickly.
In the end, she finished absolutely everything on the table.
Then she quietly looked toward Silas almost sheepishly.
Seeing her expression, Silas could not help smiling softly for the first ti in days before imdiately standing up to prepare even more food for her.
However, despite indulging her endlessly, Silas still gently reminded her,
"You should not eat too much at once. Your body has only just started recovering, and if you overeat now, you will not be able to digest it properly later."
Ivy nodded obediently on the surface.
"Alright, alright, I understand," she replied softly.
Yet the mont Silas turned around to bring another dish, she imdiately continued stuffing herself with food as though it were the final delicacy left in the entire world.
Silas eventually noticed what she was doing and could only sigh helplessly.
’I really cannot win against her...’
Still, seeing her finally having an appetite again secretly relieved him.
Compared to seeing her lifeless and unconscious on the bed, this version of Ivy was infinitely better, even if she was being a little stubborn.
After finishing everything she could possibly eat, Ivy finally slowed down.
A faint warmth spread through her stomach, and for the first ti in weeks, she finally felt sowhat full and satisfied.
Only then did she stop eating.
Seeing this, Silas imdiately walked over and gently scooped her into his arms.
"You should sleep a little now," he whispered while carrying her back toward the bed.
However, Ivy quickly shook her head.
"I do not want to sleep yet," she murmured. "After eating so much, I will feel uncomfortable if I lie down imdiately. I want to walk around a little."
Silas hesitated.
He could already feel how weak her body still was.
Still, after seeing the stubborn determination inside her eyes, he ultimately had no choice except to compromise.
Carefully, he helped her stand up.
Unfortunately, even walking had beco an incredibly difficult task for Ivy.
Her legs trembled weakly beneath her weight, and after taking only a few steps, she already felt exhausted.
The frustration burning inside her grew even stronger because of it.
At the re thought that she had been reduced to such a miserable state because of those so-called superior beings, a violent rage surged through her chest.
’Those bastards...’
Her fingers unconsciously tightened.
If those people ever appeared before her again, she truly wanted to tear them apart piece by piece until they begged for death.
