170 Chapter 170: Family? (1/2)

Freya strode along the corridors as if she was escaping from the demon's clutches. She felt that if she becomes one minute slower than the usual speed, the demon would kidnap her and chain her to bed.

Even though she was walking fast, she didn't forget to smile at the guards stationed along the way. She had a small graceful smile on her face while she was groaning internally. Hearing the sound of footsteps catching up to her, she groaned.

”Freya, where are you running off to?”

She pursed her lips and turned around to look at Jinha, who had a questioning look.

Biting her lips, she looked all around him except at his face making Jinha raise his eyebrows. His eyes narrowed when he thought of a possibility but immediately he shook his head.

'There's no way Freya would say that'

Instantly his belief was proved wrong when she mumbled, ”Where else would I go other than to see him?”

Jinha gaped at her as if he couldn't believe those words just escaped her mouth. He frowned before he clasped her shoulders and looked all around her.

Freya frowned at his action and slapped his head making him yelp, ”What are you doing?”

He rubbed his head and muttered, ”That's weird, there's no one else behind her.”

Freya's eyebrows twitched as she questioned, ”What?”

He immediately straightened and looked at her gravely, ”Freya, I think you need to rest today too. You are uttering strange words. Don't you get it?”

Her lips twitched when she saw Jinha immediately imitate her.

”Where else other than to see my Prince Charming?” He pretended to vomit, ”Damn it! How did my Princess learn all these lovesick words?”

He widened his eyes as he pointed at his arms and said, ”Look, all my hairs are standing up from those words.”

A nerve popped out from Freya's forehead as she listened to his nonsense.

”Where is my cold princess?”

”Where is the princess who used to say” He immediately put up a sorrowful face and said, ”I won't fall in love with him, Jinha. I don't think I will be able to love someone in this lifetime.” and wiped the fake tears flowing down his cheeks.

That's it! She opened her eyes and glared at Jinha who suddenly exclaimed, ”Yes... there you are” making Freya roll her eyes and shake her head with a sigh.

Jinha shook his head in disbelief, ”I can't believe that the saying is true after all.”

Freya glared at him and asked him irritatedly, ”What?”

He looked at her and said seriously, ”Love can change a person beyond recognition.”

He looked at her and remarked, ”Look at you, the one who used to say she wouldn't fall in love has her mind full of him now.”

”Unbelievable” he commented

He muttered under his breath, ”Damn! that guy would be euphoric when he comes to know this.”

'Well well, looks like I have to get used to this view often now'

Freya puffed up her cheeks before she turned around to walk away. She had no time to waste on him as she wanted to see Usui fast and see with her own eyes that he was okay.

Jinha chuckled as he caught up with her face. Freya ignored him as she entered the medical ward. The medical ward was bustling with healers running around the place, attending to all the people admitted in the ward. But when she entered, everyone greeted her unanimously.

”Princess Hazel”

Freya smiled at them as she walked towards the first room in her view. Zelal and Stella's room.

Freya entered the room and looked at Loki in surprise. She didn't expect him to stay inside the room. She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw him sitting beside Stella who was sleeping soundly.

Before she could ask him, she heard a pitiful voice calling out to her, ”Sister-in-law, Help me”

Her cheeks burned at Zelal's choice of words while the two people inside the room shared a laugh, even Loki who usually had a cold expression had a small smile. She ignored them as she coughed to compose herself. She held back a smile when she saw Zelal chained to his bed while looking at her pitifully.

'God! I was close to experiencing that'

She wondered what did Zelal do to impose such a punishment on him.

”What did you do?”

Zelal pouted pitifully as he whined, ”They aren't letting me go”

She tilted her head as she asked confusedly, ”Why do you want to leave when you haven't recovered?”

Zelal pursed his lips as he thought of how he should answer her question. He thought and spoke his words carefully, ”I heard that our friends were injured gravely and it didn't sit well with me when they were there, waiting for their chance while I was here being treated lavishly.”

He bit his lips right after he pronounced those bullshit words. Just as he thought, Jinha burst into laughter as he commented, ”What a load of crap!”

While Loki only looked up from the book he was reading to stare at him. Zelal pursed his lips as embarrassment colored his cheeks.

Freya raised an eyebrow, not understanding their reactions, and answered, ”Oh.. if it's only that, then you don't have to worry anymore.”

Zelal looked up at her in confusion and heard her say, ”They will be coming here in two-three days.”
