Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 144

I gave an awkward smile. He suddenly demanded to hear how I’d lived while we were apart, leaving me speechless. Of course, countless things had happened, but it felt embarrassing to recount them myself.

Fortunately, Eloyd seemed to have already heard about everything that had happened to me from someone else. Or rather, just yesterday, Ileina had certainly held him down and told him everything in great detail.

Normally, Ileina wouldn’t have spoken that way, but since he’d been so absorbed in his own stories and showed no interest in his fiancée’s affairs, she’d apparently regressed to his childish level.

Her personality had also changed somewhat since becoming pregnant.

“I heard yesterday that you personally saved Prince Daniel after he nearly got seriously injured by a horse. Are you truly sure there are no lingering aftereffects?”

“As I said yesterday, I’m perfectly fine, as you can see.”

Hearing about how Claire had saved Prince Daniel from his lips felt like something distant and long ago—even though, in reality, it hadn’t been that long.

Ever since I became Claire, one incident after another had occurred without pause, making it feel as though an immense amount of time had passed.

“Only after returning home yesterday did I learn that you’d even been told you might not wake up. To think you were injured so gravely—I’m sorry for neglecting news from the Carlobanian Empire and not being by your side when you needed me.”

“No, I really am fine. You weren’t deliberately ignoring me; you cut off news from home to focus entirely on your studies. That couldn’t have been easy.”

“Since I’m not the brightest, I have no choice but to study twice or even three times harder than others. Still, what can’t be achieved through effort? The one thing I’m grateful for is that I have better stamina than most, so I can sleep less and sit for long hours.”

After that, we naturally fell into a comfortable conversation about all sorts of things. I’d worried he’d only make me recount everything I’d been through, but luckily, I also got to hear how he’d been faring at the academy.

I spoke about my work at the Medical Bureau as a physician, while he spoke about his studies at the academy.

It almost felt like comparing curricula between a pharmacology major and a geography or botany major. Given how scholarly he was, it made sense our conversation flowed this way.

He showed interest in medicinal herbs, but what was interesting was that while I was drawn to the medicinal properties of plants, he focused more on plant ecology shaped by their environment.
