Originally, we should have gone through a verification process to check if it was effective, but there was no time for that now.
The doctor immediately approached Kaern and applied the antidote to his wounded arm.
Then, to administer the rest of the antidote, he placed it near Kaern’s lips.
However, Kaern, whose strength had already diminished significantly, couldn’t easily take the medicine.
“Please, Kaern…”
Unable to watch him endure, I finally took the antidote from the doctor.
“Give it to me. Here.”
And, putting the antidote in his mouth, I pressed my lips to Kaern’s.
In this way, as I fed him the bitter medicine, Kaern finally began to swallow it.
When I released his lips after giving him all the medicine, our red pupils met.
Partly a gamble, but fortunately, it seemed to have an effect as vitality slowly returned to his eyes.
Watching that, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Later, as the doctor administered a stabilizer to help Kaern recover, his eyes gradually closed, and he fell asleep.
“The condition is rapidly stabilizing. It seems the flower had an effect. Since the detoxification process has begun, we just need to wait until he wakes up.”
As the doctor left to prepare additional medication for Kaern when he woke up, Adelia slumped onto the sofa.
“Adelia, go rest now. I’ll stay by Kaern’s side.”
“Are you sure? Herena, you must be tired too.”
“It’s okay. I just want to be with Kaern right now.”
“…I understand. Then, I’ll leave it to you.”
Adelia and Calyx left the room, leaving only him and me inside.
“Kaern. I’m really relieved.”
I was so relieved that he didn’t die, that he was safe.
If something had gone wrong with him, I would have truly…
Huff, huff.
As the incredibly dreadful time passed, my tense body suddenly relaxed, and tears flowed endlessly.
Once the tears started, they didn’t stop.
I cried continuously until I became exhausted and eventually fell into a deep sleep.
I felt a comforting touch.
It was as if someone was gently stroking my hair.
They were handling something precious very carefully, caressing it.
“Is this a dream?”
It must be a dream.
If it’s not a dream, I wouldn’t be able to feel this way.
The warm touch lingered longer than I had imagined.
I didn’t want to wake up from this dream forever.
So, I tried my best not to let go of the thread connecting the dream.
But the more I tried, the more the consciousness that had lingered beneath the surface of sleep was gradually awakening.
“No, please, not now.”
Not now, please.
Just a bit longer, even if it’s just one more minute.
But cruelly, I couldn’t hold onto the dream any longer and eventually returned to reality.
However, something was strange.
If it was a dream, all the sensations I felt should have been erased, but even after waking up, the warmth directed towards me continued.
“What is this?”
Could it be that it wasn’t a dream?
It couldn’t be.
Around the time I thought that, the situation just before I momentarily fell asleep quickly struck my mind.
I blinked my eyes and looked up, and there was Kaern, gazing at me with affectionate eyes.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
