The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 69

"Ahhhh!!"

While walking, Aris suddenly screamed in surprise and sat down on the ground.

"What happened?!"

I tried to support her as she suddenly collapsed, but she seemed too preoccupied to notice me.

"Ugh..."

Aris groaned in pain, as if she was an undead monster being destroyed under the scorching sun. She started to sweat profusely and writhed on the ground.

"Aris, are you okay?!"

Unable to stand it any longer, I quickly cast a healing spell on her. However, she continued to struggle in pain, screaming in a hoarse voice. Magic seemed to be of no use. Was there some fundamental issue?

However, my worries were short-lived...

"Oo....?"

Her previously pale complexion returned to normal, and she started to touch her body in wonder.

"Are you okay now...?"

Her expression relaxed, as if nothing had happened. Soon, she stood up without my help.

"You were in so much pain just now, what happened?"

Taken aback by the sudden event, I asked with a mix of shock in my voice. She looked as if she too hadn't anticipated this event, her expression turning ambiguous.

"I don't know..."

She truly seemed clueless about the reason, her face reflecting a bitter emotion.

"But it's not the first time this has happened..."

"What?"

Her surprising revelation changed the atmosphere, making it more somber. This wasn't the first time she acted this way?

Without giving me a chance to ponder, she spoke with a serious expression, sharing her story.

"I occasionally have these episodes... I don't know the reason, but whenever I try to forget, an indescribable pain torments me..."

She leaned on me, wiping off her sweat, her body exhausted from the pain.

"Do you know if it's some kind of illness?"

She firmly shook her head, indicating that a simple explanation like that wouldn't suffice.

"It's different... more abstract, maybe... Honestly, I don't really understand it either."

So she herself doesn't know why she's going through this?

"I feel a burning pain throughout my body at unpredictable intervals... It's so agonizing that I unintentionally hurt those around me..."

She seemed more worried about affecting others negatively due to her condition than about her own suffering.

"I'm sorry... We came out to have a good time, and I feel like I ruined the mood..."

She looked at me with anxious eyes, probably wondering if I was upset.

However, in response to her unease, I firmly grasped her shoulder and said,

"It's okay. I want to help you in any way I can."

Honestly, I was a bit surprised, but my main thought was to comfort her.

"Wha... What?! Really?"

My words made Aris blush even more, her face turning a deeper shade of red. It felt like I could feel the heat if I touched her cheek.
