Unlike herself, overwhelmed by the fact of becoming a member of a mighty family, Baxter seemed overflowing with ease. What used to be considered a particularly large and assertive jaw now seemed to be filled with courage flowing through Lexion’s blood.
Edith carefully held his hand under the table. Since she decided to trust and rely on him, she also thought of emulating his characteristic boldness a bit.
As they finished a simple refreshment, Vane brought in a pair of men and women wearing white gowns after dismissing the servants present.
“Here are the personal physicians of Duke Lexion. They are all naturally gifted with magic, capable of diagnosing problems caused by magic.”
“This is Doctor Delma. It is an honor to examine the lady today.”
Vane added that Delma was a veteran who had worked in Lexion for 30 years, then escorted her to an adjacent room connected to the reception room.
Edith obediently moved to the new location. Being examined by someone knowledgeable about magic had always been something she desired.
“I will check your magic for a moment.”
When Delma took her pulse, Edith couldn’t help but be nervous. Although there were no particular issues with her body, she was worried about the Lexion bloodline, with her child being born with magic.
After a thorough examination, Delma spoke in a calm voice.
“There is currently nothing wrong, but from around five months, a massive amount of magic inherent to Lady Leah and the young master’s bloodline will be generated in the body.”
“Is that okay?”
“If left untouched, the body won’t be able to endure it and become critical, but Lady Leah found a solution with the Duke’s full support after she left. So, you don’t need to worry now.”
Hearing the confident assurance that the child would be fine, tension dissipated. Edith listened attentively to Delma’s words, wiping away the concerns that had burdened her.
“Lexion’s magic transforms to suit the owner’s body as it is used more frequently after the opening. This process, adapting to the owner’s body and completing one’s unique magic, is called awakening. Sharing the awakened magic with the child will prevent any explosions of magic within the body.”
Delma mentioned that although awakening magic in a short period is challenging, it’s by no means impossible. She also assured that if they proceed with childbirth in the mansion built by the Duke’s magical stone, there wouldn’t be any issues for the child.
“Ah… I’m relieved. Truly relieved.”
It was a moment when Edith’s long-standing worries vanished like snow in the spring sun. Observing her reddened eyes and trembling lips, Delma could imagine the emotional struggles she had gone through. Knowing that she was the child of Lexion, she probably hadn’t sought treatment from other magicians.
Thinking that she might not have been able to rejoice comfortably even after knowing about her pregnancy, Delma became more affectionate toward her.
“Don’t worry too much, my lady. With Lexion’s bloodline, the child will be very strong. Now, it’s time to check your health, so I’ll ask you a few questions. First…”
Responding to Delma’s survey, she gently swept her hand over her belly.
‘While I’ve seen Baxter skillfully using magic for a long time… I wonder if there won’t be any problems with awakening magic.’
As she pondered about Baxter’s magic awakening, in the reception room, another personal physician was examining Baxter’s condition.
However, unlike Delma, who was examining Edith, George, who took Baxter’s pulse, didn’t look pleased.
“I will check again.”
George was also a skilled doctor who had worked in Lexion for 30 years. While George, who used to save Baxter’s life even when he suffered fatal injuries or was ambushed, reexamined Baxter’s condition with a bewildered expression, the color drained from Franz’s face.
“George, what’s happening?”
“Well, that…”
After George confirmed Baxter’s condition once again and asked several questions, as Franz’s attention grew, he solemnly spoke.
“The young master should no longer use magic.”
“What?”
“He mentioned losing childhood memories. The scars on his body disappeared, and the color of his pupils changed.”
Baxter nodded. Edith had informed him of these changes after learning about his true identity as Izaak.
Considering it wasn’t a normal case, Baxter believed that magic had negatively affected his body, but the diagnosis was more extreme than he had thought.
“Although there seemed to be no issues during the process of opening magic, the young master’s magic has already been severely transformed since the childhood outburst.”
“……. ”
“If you use magic further, you will lose your memory as before, and your body… won’t be able to endure it.”
George lowered his head as if acknowledging his own fault. Baxter just tapped the sofa with his fingertips. A bitter laugh escaped him, perhaps due to a sense of emptiness or some indescribable emotion.
‘So, that’s why that happened back then.’
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
