A/N: Hey, friendlies! Blegh, I feel like I'm accomplishing absolutely nothing! Even though, I'm technically busier than ever because of work, I just can't seem to get anything done at home! #frustration On the bright side, I don't have to work until the afternoon on Black Friday! Yayness! Ahem.
Okay, this one could be seen as a sequel to #60, but it doesn't have to be. Enjoy!

62. Sickness
He wanted to hate her. Her betrayal ran deep, and forgiveness wasn't something that came easily to him.
Arthur was a man of his word, though, and he distinctly remembered vowing to protect his wife 'In sickness and in health.' Brain fever counted as sickness, and Guinevere had recently developed a very severe case.
He didn't want to be there, standing at her bedside, watching her sleep restlessly. And yet, he couldn't turn away.
In the end, though, he did.
"Merlin," he said softly.
"Sire?"
"Heal her."
Merlin faltered for a moment. "You're sure, Sire?"
Arthur nodded. "Do it. Now."
Cheers!
