---- Chapter 484 Did no one come to serve you food? Scout asked, his tone sharp, almost accusatory Alexia tried to answer, but her throat was too dry.

She reached out weakly, her chains clinking with the effort.

Scout's jaw tightened.

Yet he said nothing.

He slid the bundle toward her, his movements brisk, almost angry.

She grabbed the flask first, her hands trembling as she unscrewed the cap.

The first sip burned her throat, but she didnt care.

She drank greedily, water spilling down her chin.

Slow down, Scout muttered, his brow furrowing The bread was a bit hard, but it didnt matter.

Alexia tore into it with feral desperation, crumbs clinging to her cracked lips.

---- Chapter 484 Only when she finished did she meet Scouts gaze.

Why? she croaked.

Her voice was barely audible, each word a struggle Why hasn't anyone...

checked on me? Scout shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting away.

This place...

it's forgotten, he admitted.

People don't think about what's buried beneath their feet.

It may have slipped their minds that you are here.

Silence stretches, Scout continues to watch the woman as she greedily finished the bread to take more gulps of water.

Her hands were trembling.noveldrama

Her eyes looked too tired, barely opening.

You should eat slower, Scout said, his tone softening.

You'll make yourself sick.

---- She ignored him, too consumed by the gnawing hunger to care.

Damien, she whispered, in between her bites, her voice breaking.

Has he...

woken up? Scout hesitated, and she stopped mid bite.

Leaving the bread to look up at him.

He's alive.

he said finally, avoiding her eyes.

But Commander hasn't woken yet.

The weight of his words crushed Alex.

It wasnt about her anymore.

She should be worried about getting out of here...

Damien was her only hope.

If he didnt wake, she would rot here, forgotten by the world but right now? All she thought of was Damien surviving it.

Why? The infection had been curbed right? Why isnt he waking up-" Tt isn't that simple.

Plus I am not the doctor here.

---- The last bite of bread drops from between her hands and she looks here and there anxiously.

He...

he needs to wake up.

Can you...

can you take me to him once? You saw me with him right.., I didnt burt him...

Why would I...

please just once! Her eyes pleas him and he rakes his fingers through his hair to sigh.

King Adrian doesnt trust you.

T don't care! Commander trusted me or else why would he give-" She stops herself at the last moment and Scout raises a brow.

Confusion etched on her features.

Why would he what? Nothing.

Avoiding his eyes she drops back into a corner, making sure to avoid the shit on her way.

And just hugs her legs.
