The sky was starting to get dark.
Outside Regan's chambers, Rex, Elias, and Evelyn's three friends stood with anxious expressions on their faces.
On the other hand, inside the chambers, Regan suddenly walked to the bedside and made unconscious Evelyn sit. He sat behind her such that her back rested on his firm chest.
Though her body rested on him, he felt that she didn't carry any weight.
She was very thin.
Regan's looked at the sky from the window as he held Evelyn's hand tightly.
"You know Evelyn…."
He started speaking suddenly.
He didn't eat or drink anything since last night so his voice was hoarse as he continued.
"When I saw so many slaves being fed to those hungry inside the arena that day, I was disgusted by the game. I didn't want to stay …until my eyes fell on you. Others were screaming, crying, and begging but you…were so silent. I didn't know whether you were afraid or not. You were very far away. I couldn't see you. But somehow you reminded me of myself."
