CHAPTER FORTY SIX

ELARA

The hug was so tight that I winced out in pain. River quickly pulled away from me. He was hurting me by hugging me so tightly, and it was hurting me.

"Are you okay?" He asked after pulling away from the hug.

"I am very well," I replied with a nod of the head.

River smiled and took my hand. He squeezed my finger gently. Carla was staring at us with a smile on her face. River's face was beaming as well.

He looked lean and toned. He also looked tattered. He hadn't had a haircut for a while, and his beards were also tattered. The dark circles around his eyes had grown even darker.

"What happened to you?" I asked him.

He looked sick.

"He has been worried about you and has refused to eat anything since. He doesn't even stay at home. Always frequenting the hospital. If not that Harrison had to force him to attend the meeting today. "

I stared at him with an angry look.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?" I asked him.

He looked away from me and faced Carla.
