Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: A hidden cage in their hearts

Elyse's POV

It's been three days since that incident happened. I feel guilty, and I've been avoiding Lord Axel since then.

I'm still doing my responsibilities as his apprentice, but when we're the only ones in his apothecary room, I walk out and act like I'm watering the herbs or cleaning his tools.

Just completely avoiding him. I'm so embarrassed and guilty for the problem I've caused him.

That's why I have to keep a clear distance between us, especially since the Grand Duchess suggests that we should marry each other instead.

"Elyse, wait a sec," Doc Axel calls.

I pause and grab my skirt while my heart is beating so fast. I turned my body a little bit, enough to face him. I forced a smile.

"What can I do for you, milord?" I simply ask.

"Elyse, no matter how you tried to run away from me, you knew that we needed to talk. Stop running as far as you thought you could be," he says.
