As the days passed in the peaceful retreat, Ishita's health took a turn for the worse. She had been looking pale and weak, but now, a fever had set in, leaving her exhausted and bedridden. Arjun noticed her decline immediately and his concern grew more intense with each passing hour. He couldn’t bear to see her suffering, especially not here, where he had brought her with the hope of helping her find peace and healing.

He rushed to her side, pressing a cool cloth to her forehead, checking her temperature anxiously. "Ishita, why didn’t you tell me you were feeling so unwell?" he asked, his voice a mixture of worry and regret. She just smiled faintly, trying to brush it off, but it only made him more determined to make up for all the times he had failed her in the past.
