They all ran towards Yanna when she popped up in front of the house with Matthew. Yanna didn't say anything as if she never saw them while Yuhan helped her quickly to get Matthew inside the house.
Yanna looked at Matthew. The hairs of all his body are already back since the moment she touched him earlier. But his skin was still reddish.
"Oh my God! Matthew-"
"Don't go near her. She is still possessed with her own power." Pagpigil ni Lydia kay Luke na lalapit sana sa kapatid niya sa kama.
Yanna stretched her hand in front of Matthew and healed him with the use of her power.
Matthew breath out deeply before he opened his eyes and slowly looked around.
"What the... I thought you said you have poured it already on the floor?" kunot-noong tanong ni Luke kay Ayeng nang ilabas ni Yanna mula sa palad niya ang isang maliit na bowl na ginamit ni Ayeng kanina para ipainom sa dalaga.
"I did!" mabilis naman na sagot ni Ayeng.
"Did you forget that she can make all kinds of medicines?" sabat naman ni Yuhan.
Luke looked at Yuhan raising his eyebrow.
"Did you just take her side to fight me?" inis na tanong ni Luke.
"Shhh... Shut up." saway ni Ayeng kay Luke.
Wala namang magawa si Luke kundi ang tumahimik na lang.
"I think she is very angry to his highness about planning to poison her." sabi ni Lydia.
Tumango-tango naman si Luke.
Matthew blinked twice. Feel his whole body, sat down touching his hair and freeze when he saw a golden yellow-haired beautiful lady standing in front of him, with blank face.
Tumikhim si Matthew nang makilala niya si Yanna. Naalala niya ang pinlano niya sa dalaga, at ang ginawang pagsalba nito sa kanya kanina.
He looked Yanna up and down and swallowed because of too much nervousness on how to talk with her. Sa mukha pa lang kasi nito ay alam na niyang hindi ito masaya sa ginawa niya dito.
Alangan siyang ngumiti kay Yanna.
Yanna stepped forward and showed the bowl to Matthew.
"This is the poison that you want me to drink. Did you forget that even if you use an odorless poison, I can still recognized it?"
Napalunok ulit si Matthew at wala sa sarili na napatingin sa pintuan kung saan nakatayo sina Lydia, Luke, Yuhan at Ayeng na nanunuod lang sa kanila.
He looked questioningy looked at them.
Luke shrugged his shoulder as an answer and looked at Ayeng who just bowed her head as an apology.
"What are you all doing? Help me." senyas niya sa apat.
Luke lifted his right hand, pointed his forehead and Yanna.
Doon lang naalala ni Matthew nang mapatingin siya sa noo ni Yanna pababa sa maganda at mahaba nitong buhok at suot na damit. Kaya pala napakatahimik nilang apat at maging si Lydia ay wala ring magawang manuod na lang din.
Bahagyang napaatras si Matthew sa kama nang humakbang ulit si Yanna sa harapan niya saka seryoso at walang reaksiyon ang mukha na ipinakita sa harapan niya ang isang bowl.
"Y-y-you l-look beautiful." sabi niya dahil wala siyang ibang masabi habang nakangiwi.
Luke almost laughed but quickly held it when Lydia looked at him seriously.
