'Because I don't need his help!' Millicent said to Justin, trying to ignore Antonin. 'I can handle things on my own,' she snapped, though her hand unconsciously clutching the bottle Antonin had thrown at her.
'I don't need help,' she repeated again. 'I don't!'
She looked to Antonin as he started to speak again, her jaws clenching. 'It would tell you that I'm in pain, that I lost a baby and haven't slept since!' she snapped. 'Or is that what you want? That I won't sleep? Be in constant pain? A healer gave me those potions. They're not a problem.'
'I've just not been sleeping.' She looked down, her hand clutching at the bottle. 'It doesn't tell me anything,' she lied, though the hunger in her eyes told a different story.
