How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 243

After finalizing her speech, Morwenna finally noticed Keira was in the room.

Tucking away her speech, Morwenna asked with a puzzled tone, “Keira, don’t you have a class tonight? What brought you back so early?”

Caught off-guard, Keira stammered, “I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. I’d hit the hay early.”

Usually, Keira spoke to Morwenna in a timid, soft voice. So, Morwenna thought Keira was a bit dizzy and didn’t catch the unusual strain in her voice.

Showing concern, Morwenna asked, “What’s wrong? Do you need to see the campus nurse?”

“No, no, it’s just my Aunt Flo. A bit of rest should do the trick.”

“Alright then, get some rest. The others haven’t come back yet. You might want to pull the curtain around your bed for peace.”

“Yeah, sure.”

With the curtain drawn, Keira let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness Morwenna didn’t see.

Touching her face and feeling the sting, she grimaced, curling into a silent, pained sleep.

It was nine in the evening, and Morwenna wasn’t asleep, opting to read a book.

About fifteen minutes later, Dahlia returned.

Morwenna gestured toward Keira's curtained bed and whispered, “She’s feeling a bit off and went to bed early. Let’s keep our voices down. Dahlia, could you take a look at my speech draft?”

Always the quiet one, Dahlia tiptoed to Morwenna.

She was known for her standoffish aura, making her seem unapproachable, a true ice queen in her own right.

But Morwenna, unbothered even by the coldest of hearts, had no trouble warming up to her.

Morwenna's sincerity and charm were undeniable.
