Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Caring_Part 3

Rav looked up impulsively at her words. So, she had noticed he slept on his chest last night? he wondered as he nodded again.

"Yes, milady," he told her, and then realized she wasn’t going to lay down on the bed. Instead, she was staring at him. Was she waiting to watch him lay down? Rav wondered again as he hesitantly made his way to the bedding she had made for him.

He lowered himself onto the floor and felt the double blankets she had placed beneath him, making it soft like a mattress. When he put his head on the soft pillow, he noticed she was still standing at the side of his bedding and had not gone to lie down on the bed. Rav frowned but said nothing. What was she waiting for?

He tried not to stare at her as he closed his eyes, but it was then he felt her move and cover him with another sheet, and his eyes flew open.

"My lady, you_"

"Just making sure you are fine," Evenly said, sounding firm. But in truth, she was stalling for time, delaying going back to bed as the rain outside grew stronger along with the thunder.

Rav felt his heart skip as she tucked him in like one would someone they cared for. Though he was ashamed to admit it, or even to think it, his late wife had never tucked him in bed, not even on nights when he became sick from overworking. She had only made him soup and then left him to fend for himself.

Sometimes he would need her help, shivering from fever as he tried to lift a spoon of soup to his mouth. But knowing she would complain about his lack of help in the house because of his sickness, Rav had learned to take care of himself and not depend on anyone. No matter how weak or sick, he did his own bidding and never complained.

Having someone else do something for him, after such a very long time, made his heart feel strangely warm in a way.

"Thank you..." he murmured softly as she pulled away.

After she moved from his side, Rav couldn’t sleep. He stared at the ceiling where flashes of lightning glowed faintly through the room. A loud thunder rattled the things around them, and he thought he heard someone whimper. But then he dismissed it as his mind tried to wrap around why he was feeling affected by the lady in a way he did not want to feel.

Perhaps because everything he touched in this room carried her scent.

She was—

"Rav," came a small voice in his head. It was the woman on the bed, speaking through their mind link. His thoughts cut off immediately, and he turned his eyes toward the bed through the darkened room.

"Yes, milady?"

"Oh, I thought you were sleeping," Evenly said, hugging Angel’s small body to her chest. But even that wasn’t enough to distract her from the rumbling thunder that made her jumpy and flinch every time.

"No, I am not," Rav replied. "Do you need something?" he asked, but she was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Yes."

Rav immediately pushed himself into a sitting position. "What is it, my lady? Are you thirsty?" he questioned, knowing she had not yet learned to control her vampire’s thirst the way he had.

"No... can you come and lay down on the bed?" she said, and then hurriedly added, "I don’t like thunders and storms, ever since I was a little girl. I always had someone beside me when it rained."

Evenly might have grown up in a land where it rained almost all year round with constant thunder, but one could not blame her. She had lost her mother on the night of a thunderstorm, and it had remained her very nightmare. Before she got married, her father had always assigned her a maidservant to sleep beside her during storms, knowing of her fears. And after her marriage, at night Josh had been there to hold her, and nights he wasn’t there, she had her maid.
