Dominick stepped inside the house, his expression calm but tired after the long day he had spent outside. The moment he entered the hall, his eyes searched for Kavin. He found him standing nearby, waiting as if he had anticipated the prince’s arrival.
"Did you pack Jeniva’s clothes?" Dominick asked without wasting a moment.
"Yes, Your Highness," Kavin replied respectfully. "I have already asked the maid to prepare them. They are packed and ready to be taken to the hospital."
Dominick nodded slightly, thinking for a moment. "I will take them myself," he said.
Kavin hesitated before responding. "Your Highness, perhaps you should rest tonight. You have been outside since morning and haven’t had a proper break." His tone remained respectful, but there was clear concern in it. "You can visit her in the morning instead."
Dominick was about to object. The words were already forming on his lips when he noticed the curious look on Kavin’s face. It was subtle, but enough for Dominick to understand what the man was thinking.
If he insisted on going now, questions might arise.
He did not want unnecessary speculation about him and Jeniva.
After a brief pause, Dominick exhaled quietly and gave a short nod. "Fine," he said.
"Take the maid with you and deliver the clothes to the hospital."
"Yes, Your Highness," Kavin replied immediately.
With that, Dominick turned and walked toward the staircase. Once he reached his room, he entered quietly and closed the door behind him before locking it from the inside.
For a moment he simply stood there, staring at the door as if making sure no one would interrupt him.
"What have I been thinking?" he muttered under his breath. "I cannot let anyone know... not until we are certain about this mate bond."
The thought alone made his chest tighten. If the palace staff or the council began speculating, things could quickly spiral out of control.
Dominick sighed and removed his overcoat, hanging it neatly on the back of the chair. He then bent down to take off his boots and placed them carefully in the shoe rack before heading straight to the washroom to have a quick shower.
After finishing, he stepped out and dried himself before pulling on a pair of comfortable night clothes. The room felt quiet and still as he ran a towel through his hair.
Just then, a gentle knock sounded on the door.
"Your Highness," a voice called softly from outside, "I have brought your dinner."
Dominick walked over and unlocked the door. When he opened it, the maid stood there respectfully with a tray in her hands.
He stepped aside to let the maid enter the room.
"Thank you," Dominick said.
The maid placed the tray neatly on the table before bowing politely. With a soft smile, she stepped back and left the room, gently closing the door behind her.
Dominick walked toward the table and sat down. The food was still warm, but his mind was elsewhere. After picking up his phone, he dialed Evan’s number and waited for the call to connect.
When the line was answered, Dominick leaned back slightly in his chair.
"Has Jeniva fallen asleep?" he asked.
On the other end of the call, Evan had just stepped out of the ward room, carefully closing the door behind him so as not to disturb the patient.
"I just gave her the medicines," Evan replied in a low voice. "She’s asleep now."
Dominick nodded even though Evan couldn’t see him.
"Kavin and one of the maids are on their way to the hospital with Jeniva’s clothes," he said.
"Alright," Evan responded. "I’ll make sure they’re kept inside the room."
There was a brief pause before Dominick spoke again.
