Her nausea, stemming from emotional and psychological stress, escalated to retching, and Jesse found out.
“Why did you hide this until now?”
“I’ll be fine soon… Ugh.”
Overwhelmed by the rising nausea, Irene couldn’t finish her sentence and gagged.
Jesse patted her back with a worried expression.
“It looks like we really need to call a physician this time.”
Normally, noble families had family physicians to attend to them. But there was none in the House of Esper.
The only member of the House of Esper was Carlos, and as the underground lord, he had no need for human physicians.
It was somewhat fortunate that there were human physicians in the Esper territory, but the problem was that to bring a human into the castle, Carlos’s permission was absolutely required.
Carlos would probably give his permission, considering the situation.
“I will ask the master and bring a physician, my lady.”
“W-wait!”
Irene urgently grabbed Jesse’s retreating arm.
“Don’t tell him. That I’m sick… Don’t tell Duke Esper, Jesse.”
Irene’s desperate plea was heartbreaking to look at, but unfortunately, Jesse couldn’t comply.
Not only did they need Carlos’s permission to bring a physician, but Jesse had also been ordered to report any and all incidents regarding Irene, no matter how trivial.
“Please, Jesse.”
So why couldn’t she refuse?
Staring down at Irene’s pale, beautiful face, Jesse eventually smiled faintly and tightly gripped her hand in return.
“Alright. I’ll do as you say.”
“…Therefore, I think we need to bring a human physician from the territory.”
Jesse had promised not to tell Irene, but she couldn’t keep that promise.
From the beginning, Jesse had no intention of keeping the promise with Irene. To be precise, she couldn’t.
Before being Irene’s exclusive maid, Jesse had sworn loyalty to Carlos. Naturally, Carlos’s orders took precedence over a promise with Irene.
So she did report it, but felt very uncomfortable doing so. It wasn’t the first time she had done such a thing, but it was the first time she felt this uneasy about it.
Did I get too attached to her?
She was different from the people she had met so far; a lovely person and necessary to her master, so it was natural to feel this way…
“Yes. Bring her over.”
Snapped out of her thoughts by Carlos’s response, Jesse quickly came to her senses.
“It’s not too serious, is it?”
“I’m not a doctor, so I can’t say for sure, but it seemed she was quite unwell.”
“Is that so?”
Was what happened at the restaurant really that shocking?
There was nothing particularly special about it. He had given her enough time to prepare mentally before going to the restaurant.
But he couldn’t understand why Irene had felt so ill. Humans were a weak species anyway, so he let it slide.
On one hand, he worried how she would weather the storms to come.
If things go wrong before all the flowers bloom, it will be a disaster.
“Call the doctor immediately and report the results as soon as they come in.”
“Understood.”
“No, let’s go together to see her when the doctor arrives.”
Carlos felt that merely receiving a report was somehow unsatisfactory, so he decided to see Irene himself.
“Sir… I would recommend not visiting the lady yourself.”
Jesse cautiously tried to stop him.
“Lady doesn’t want you to know she’s unwell.”
“Why?”
“I’m not sure… should I ask the lady?”
Carlos hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
“Never mind. Just keep it a secret that I know.”
If she didn’t want him to know, he had no desire to go out of his way to find out.
There was no reason to force it.
He’d just continue to receive reports from Jesse.
He felt this was the right decision, but for some reason, it left him dissatisfied. Even after Jesse left, Carlos sat on the sofa with his arms crossed for a long time.
Fortunately, aside from feeling unwell, Irene had no other issues. Thanks to the effective medicine the doctor had prescribed, her discomfort soon eased and the nausea disappeared.
Because of this, Irene could fall into a deep sleep without any further suffering.
Soft, even breaths filled the dimly lit bedroom.
The tightly shut door silently opened and Carlos entered.
He approached the bedside where Irene lay sleeping and silently looked down at her.
He had received a report that she was okay, but it was a relief to see she really looked fine.
At the same time, he found it strange that he wasn’t satisfied with just the report and had come to sneak a look at her sleeping face. He frowned.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
