Amber POV
One week later
As I slowly opened my eyes, I realized that I was waking up in the comforting and familiar surroundings of my bed.

I lowered the blanket as darkness soon overtook the room to take in my surroundings.

Despite my efforts to speak, I found myself unable to do so due to the extreme dryness of my mouth, which caused a maddening burning sensation.
“Let me help,” Lord Aldridge’s voice now greeted me, startling me of his presence.
