Yorick:
My heart stopped beating the moment she told me that she trusted me. Holding the needle and piercing it into her hurt me more than I knew it hurt her.
I felt guilty. I felt ridiculous. I felt disgusted.
But I had made a deal with my mother, and I knew she would not let me out of it that easily. Once she planned something, she wanted it done.
When I moved, I carried Clementine and laid her down on the bed, pulling the blanket over her.
Then, silently, I reached the bathroom and splashed some water on my face before stepping out and heading toward the exit.
Once I was outside, I noticed my mother standing there, waiting for me.
"How did it go?" my mother asked, her eyes widening with hope.
"She was really upset with me," I uttered.
"Well, that is fine. You don’t have to think about it anymore," my mother added, trying to comfort me.
"But mother, she was crying," I said.
"And then she told me that she trusted me, the same trust that I broke," I added as I looked up into my mother’s eyes.
"The look she gave me, mother. It was a look of shock. She could not believe I was doing this to her," I continued, then raised my hand to my cheek to wipe away my tears.
"Well, you don’t have to worry about her look anymore. The moment she wakes up, she will be looking at you with love and affection," my mother remarked, peeking over my shoulder to look at Clementine.
"But I am glad that you chose to do the right thing," my mother said, gently squeezing my elbow.
"I have a request to make," I told my mother, and she smiled at me.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Do not inject her with any more things," I stated.
"And when she wakes up, I will give her a pregnancy test, just to fulfill her wish," I added, asking my mother.
"Of course, I will do all that for you," my mother replied.
"I’ll go take a little rest now," I uttered, running a hand through my hair.
My mother watched my face carefully, as if trying to understand what I was going through.
"I thought you would be happy," my mother remarked.
"I am," I replied quickly.
"You know what? I’ll take a short walk around and then I’ll go rest, but please do not wake her up," I requested, and my mother gave me another comforting nod.
I had a few things to do.
I had to find Leysa more than ever now.
Once I was out of the mansion, I began to take a quick hike. There were a few warriors I could trust.
