Finished
He couldn’t name the tangled feeling swirling inside him. He had to back down, saying, “Fine, fine. Yony dress yourself p>
With that, he slid off the bed.
Harlan pulled his hands away, and both men stood beside the bed.
Lyra moved slowly, wrapping herself in the blanket and peeling off her soaked clothes one layer aime
Seeing this, they turned away helplessly.
Arthur spoke first. “I’ll grab some medicine for you p>
Gideon added, “I’ll fetch a fresh blanket p>
Lyra gave a faint nod.
Once the two men left, her body gradually warmed, and she changed clothes much faster.
Her head throbbed and spun, whether from soaking too long in cold water or the strain of throwing up her psychic shield earlier.
When she finished changing, her hands and feet remained icy cold, yet her torso and head burned with unexplained heat.
“All done?” Rhys asked in a worried tone at the soft rustling sounds.
Avoiding the wet heap on the bed, Lyra stretched out a foot and nudged him.
Rhys and Harlan turned around. When they saw the flush staining her cheeks, their brows knotted at once.
Rhys reached out and caught her foot in his palm. Her skin was freezing to the touch.
Knock, knock.
Arthur and Gideon, who had been waiting outside, rapped on the door to ask if they could enter.
“Come in p>
Rhys pressed his palm to Lyra’s forehead with a grave expression to check her temperature.
After drinking the medicine Arthur had brought, Lyra soon felt much better.
Felix and the others had also returned, piloting their fighters back to base.
“Lyra!” His voice echoed before he even stepped through the doorway.
Lyra huddled on the sofa wrapped in her blanket, sipping water, when the door slammed open.
Rook was the first one inside. His gaze locked straight onto Lyra.

At the sight of her sickly, drained state, his brows crashed down immediately.

Before he could finish, Felix pushed past him and rushed over.

“Lyra, you were incredible out there! I can’t believe- Why do you look so worn out? Did you bunthrough too much psychic power p>
He caught her listless expression and shifted his tone at once, heavy with concern.
Lyra shook her head gently.
It was nothing serious; she didn’t want to turn a small incident into a big fuss.
The rest of the group turned their eyes from her toward Rhys and Harlan.
Lyra had warned them ahead of time, and now they fell silent, holding back words on their tongues.
Draven walked over, glancing at the mug sitting on the nearby table, with a small amount of liquid still pooled at the bottom.
He twitched his nose, catching the faint leftover scent of medicine.
He also noticed the room’s temperature was noticeably higher than outside.
Glancing around, there were water stains by the bathroom door, and the bed was rumpled, marked with damp patches.
Putting together the expressions and state of everyone in the room, a guess close to the truth formed in his mind.
There was no room left beside her. Draven stepped behind the sofa and reached out to press his palm against her forehead.
Sure enough, she still had a fever.
“Who taught you to use this self-harming method p>
He leaned over the back of the couch, his handsome face with eyes curved, yet his smile never reached his
eyes.
Lyra and the men who had just returned froze.
She hadn’t expected Draven to figure everything out just by observing.
The others still hadn’t caught on.
“… What are you talking about?” Felix’s gaze bounced back and forth between the two of them.
There was no hiding it anymore, but Lyra didn’t want to waste energy on this trivial matter.
“Why are you guys back p>

Draven looked at her with an amused half-smile. “With you holding our position, who in their right mind would dare launch another attack?
“Don’t change the subject. Why did you do that p>
Lyra glanced off to one side. “I wanted to test it p>
Draven turned toward Rhys and Harlan. “And neither of you stopped her p>
There were countless safe ways to run tests. Hurting herself was never necessary.
The two men stayed quiet.
Draven read the unspoken answer anyway.
He let out an ambiguous, quiet laugh.
“Alright then p>
At least she knew to take medicine to fix the damage afterward. But there would not be a repeat next time.
Rook scowled. “What the hell are you all dancing around talking about p>
He hated beating around the bush more than anything.
Felix finally caught on after a moment. He cupped Lyra’s face, his eyes full of worry and distress.
Lyra lifted her hand and brushed him off without expression.
At that moment, Cedric noticed something and called out to the group.
“Look p>
Everyone turned their heads at once.
Through the window, they saw Core Prime’s residents all staring upward toward them, mouths moving as they shouted.
Zane, who already stood near the doorway, ordered the audio feed opened.
Voices flooded into the room instantly. But loudest and clearest of all was the unified roar of the crowd.
“Thank you, Ms. Kaelin p>
“Thank you, Ms. Kaelin p>
“Ms. Kaelin, now that you’re back, the rebels won’t dare draw near again p>
“Ms. Kaelin, you’re our hero p>
“Welcome home, Ms. Kaelin p>
“Ms Karlin, you’re our savior p>
