Chapter 85 – Good friends.


    I sat beside Aisha, waiting for her to wake up. I watched her closely to make sure nothing went wrong while she slept. Fortunately, she slept peacefully.


    And then.


    "Mmm..." A soft groan escaped her lips as her body began to move. Her eyes slowly opened, and Aisha saw me sitting beside the bed. I smiled at her, and her eyes widened in surprise.


    She blinked a few times as if trying to make sure what she was seeing was real.


    "Luan? What are you doing here?" Aisha sat up and began to crawl out of bed, but I stopped her.


    "Hey, hey, just stay in the bed. I found you passed out in the bathroom. I thought you were a strong woman. What happened?" I smiled at her, and she let out a sigh and a weakugh.


    "I''m sorry, I ended up doing something I shouldn''t have."


    "What?" I asked. Aisha doesn''t know that I know she was pregnant. She''s probably going to lie to me.


    "I took an unknown medication for a headache, and it made me pass out, hahaha."


    Does she not know that I saw the blood? Does she want me to believe a headache medicine caused that?


    ''But the potion or medicine she took to abort the child is extremely strong and dangerous. She could have died if she weren''t as strong as she is. What on earth did she take?''


    "Good thing I found you in time, you could''ve caught a cold lying on the bathroom floor."


    "How embarrassing. I didn''t imagine you''d see me like this." Aisha smiled bitterly. "But I''m d you''re here and worried about me."


    "Of course, I''d be worried about you. We''re good friends."


    "Friends..." Aisha lowered her head and looked at her own hands. "Friends, huh? I see. Hahaha." Shey down again, pulling the nket over herself and turning her back to me.


    "How are you feeling?"


    "I''m feeling better, just a bit of a stomachache. I should be fine soon."


    "…"


    "Luan, can I ask you something?"


    "Sure, go ahead."


    "How did you get here? Did you break in?"


    "Of course not. I talked to the Goddess Ishtar, and she brought me here."


    "What?!" Aisha turned toward me, startled. "You spoke with the Goddess? Are you joking? What did she say?"


    "Not much. We talked for a few minutes, and I told her you were a very important friend and that you might be in trouble."


    At my words, Aisha''s eyebrows shot up. She was surprised by what she heard.


    ''Damn, I said too much.''


    Aisha doesn''t know I have the system and can see her condition, so I must devise an excuse.


    "I just had a feeling that something happened to you. Maybe we have some kind of connection?"


    Aisha didn''t believe that but decided to ignore it.


    "I see. I''m d the Goddess didn''t throw you out."


    "If she wanted to, she could''ve… But she was very kind to me."


    Because she wants to eat me.


    "Really? That''s surprising. Yawn~~" Aisha yawned. "I''m really sleepy. I think I''ll take a nap. Are you going to stay here until I wake up?" Aisha reached for my hand and held it.


    "You just woke up. First, you''re going to eat something, and then you can sleep. Wait here, I''ll get something for you."


    "Hey, you don''t have to do that. I can ask someone else to bring me food."


    "That''s fine, but I''ll stay here until you eat."


    "Just admit that you came here hoping to have sex with me and found me in this pitiful state. You were so eager you came to my Familia''s house for that?"


    "Don''t say such stupid things, just eat something and go to sleep."


    ####


    After a few minutes, a woman appeared. She was an Amazon girl like Aisha, but she was not a character I knew.


    She brought food for Aisha, and after eating, Aisha was getting ready to sleep.


    But she smelled bad and thought it best to take a bath. And, of course, she asked for my help.


    I didn''t mind helping her in cleaning her entire body. She was stained with blood, but I said nothing, and she didn''t bother making any excuses. Once clean, she dressed in fresh clothes and went to bed.


    Of course, I changed her bed sheets.


    As soon as Aishay down, I opened my Status to check.


    It was extremely surprising.


    Aisha Belka - 71% (Condition - Stable)


    Aisha''s percentage had increased a lot! This is probably because of the time we spent together today. I helped her, and it made her really happy. I couldn''t help but feel happy, too.


    Seeing Aisha smile is wonderful.


    "What is it? Why are you staring at me?"


    "You''re beautiful. It''s great to see you well, and you''re smiling so much." I said. Aisha was surprised. She let out a softugh.


    "Hahaha, you''replimenting me too much. But thank you, that makes me happy." Aisha seemed a bit embarrassed. She burrowed under the nket, hiding her face. "Would you like to sleep here with me tonight?" Aisha asked.


    "Sleep here? Are you sure?"


    "Of course, the Goddess won''t mind. I don''t want to be alone tonight."


    "…"


    We stayed silent for a few seconds, and I epted her offer.


    "Sure, but I need to take a bath too."


    "Go ahead, I''ll be waiting here."


    "What''s this? Are you nning something? Even though you''re still feeling tired?"


    "No, I just want to sleep while hugging you..." Aisha said softly.


    For some reason, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
