Ava's POV
On my way to the bush,as I was going I saw a girl she was just staring at me.
If I had near her or touch her i would have try to read her mind to know what she could be thinking.
"Ava!!" She called.
"Oooh!!! How did she know my name?" I thought.
And I walked close to her to know whatsoever she wants to say.
"You must be wondering how I know your name right" she said and smiled.
Then I nooded.
"You are so much popular in this village that there is no one that does not know you...you've saved so many lifes including my mum's life when I had thought have lost her and I will be motherless" she said and I smiled.
"It's the Lord doing, because I don't have the power to heal,he is just the one using me" I said.
And she smiled.
"So how is your mum now??" I asked her.
"She is fine," she replied.
"Oh!! Ava, since you've healed my mum have been looking for a special way to pay you back,so I thought of using this to pay you back because I know it would help your life" she said.
"What is it" I asked and tried to read her mind also.
"I heard my mum and my dad discussing about Tamara's king,I heard he is terribly sick and they need a great healer to heal him and I know you can heal him,so I want you to go and heal him...I know if you heal him it will change your life and your family own also" she said and I quickly interrupted her.
I have already know what she wants to say before she finished speaking.
"Thank you so much" I replied and I walked out of the place.
"Will you go??" She asked behind.
"Thank you" I turned and said to her.
And i started walking faster to the bush.
"This girl really wants me to see my end,I have not heal the king my mum is always angry with me..if he heard that I heal a king that means I will be doomed" I thought.
It can't happen.
"I pray God will heal the king" I prayed silently.
Prince Liam's pov
I couldn't move an inch from the floor because I don't want to get hurt the more.
I tried using my walking stick to locate where the bed was,but I couldn't.
I heard the cracking of the door and a smile escaped my lip immediately.
"Edison,you are here" I said.
But I got no response.
"Edison please come and help me" I said again.
But everywhere was still silent.
I know there is someone in the room because I heard when the door opened.
I tried getting to know the person with the fragrance,but I could not.
Suddenly the person started laughing.
And immediately I recognized the voice as the queen's own.
What is she doing here??
"You will never see, don't just bother yourself,the funniest part is that I think you are becoming blind the more everyday" she said and laughed again.
But why didn't I recognize her through her scent, immediately she entered.
"Please help me" I begged.
"Help you for what??" She asked.
"Please help me" I said again.
And I heard her footsteps...I noticed she was walking towards my direction.
And before I knew it I felt something push me heavily which I could recognize as her leg.
"Why are you doing all this??" I cried out.
"You are asking me huh??" She said.
"Maybe when you get to heaven after your father,you would know why I'm asking you" I heard her thoughts.
And I filled so pained.
"So she is the one behind my dad's sickness" I thought and tears spilled out of my eyes.
"How could you??" I said out unknowingly.
"Are you talking to me??" she asked.
And I decided to keep mute…
and immediately I heard the cracking of the.
"My prince," I heard immediately.
And I could recognize it as Edison's voice.
"Ooooh!! Sorry my queen..I didn't know that you were here"Edison said.
And I heard her hissed,and I also heard her footsteps, and I knew she was walking out of the room already.
"My king, what happened??" Edison asked and ran to me immediately.
"Please help me!!" I said and he helped me up to the bed.
"My prince,are you okay??" Edison asked.
"Yes,I'm okay," I replied.
"I don't think you are okay, because you are crying," he said.
"Am I really crying?" I asked.
"Yes my prince,this was not how I left you a few minutes ago... please tell me what is the matter??" he asked.
"It's nothing,I will be fine" I replied and wiped my tears.
"My prince,but why was the queen angry earlier..did anything happen and why didn't she help you??" He asked but I was lost in thought.
But I still couldn't stop myself from thinking about the thoughts I heard.
It's really conspicuous that she is the one behind my father's sickness,if not he won't be thinking about that..
"My prince!!!" I heard and drifted out of my thoughts.
"I'm listening," I replied.
"Have been trying to call you before you finally replied but it seems you were lost in thought and I asked you earlier if you are okay,you said it's nothing... please tell me what it is??" He said.
"I'm just thinking about my life,but I know I will be fine," I replied.
"Are you sure??" He asked.
"Yes" I replied and nodded.
"So, should I bring the food for you now?" he asked.
"No!! I'm no longer hungry" I said.
"Please, my prince,I will be happy if you eat," he said.
And I forced myself to smile.
"Ok!! Fine!! Fine!! Bring the food!!" I said.
