Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 89

I automatically found myself checking Ileina’s expression. I needed to go to bed early since I had to start work at the Medical Bureau tomorrow, but it was fine.

After all, I was the first imperial physician ever, so there were no specific regulations. I had simply set my own working hours just like when I used to run the apothecary, so being late wouldn’t cause any problems.

Thus, I quickly apologized to Ileina.

“It’s my fault.”

“Do you even know what you did wrong?”

“I said I’d only dance briefly with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday and come right back, but I didn’t go to you until late, and I returned home without even telling you.”
