“Miss Bonita? Miss Bonita!”
Hindley initially thought Bonita was playing a prank, but after calling her several times and seeing the unresponsive child, he paled.
Originally, Bonita was a diligent student, occasionally grumbling but never using it as an excuse to avoid studying.
He quickly picked up Bonita and rushed out of the room, leaving the door wide open.
“Is anyone here?! It’s urgent!”
“What’s going on?”
Hindley, shouting towards the corridor, trembled as he saw Aria popping out from the next room.
“Were you in the next room?”
“Why are you holding our Bonita like that?”
Instead of an answer, a sharp question came. Aria’s gaze shifted from Hindley, holding Bonita tightly, to the pale child in his arms.
“Bonita!”
Hindley instantly took Bonita back from Aria. However, he couldn’t complain.
“Bonita, are you okay? Answer me…”
Aria’s face was even paler than the collapsed Bonita. After checking the child’s consciousness by holding her and seeing her legs limp, Aria staggered.
She, holding Bonita tightly, murmured quietly.
“Doctor…”
“Yes?”
“Call a doctor! There’s one at the far end of the third floor right now!”
“Oh, I see!”
Responding to Aria’s urgent cry, Hindley hurriedly ran. She lay Bonita down on the floor while panting.
‘Her body is stiff…’
It was one form of seizures.
It’s dangerous to hug and run with a child in this situation.
With trembling hands, she turned Bonita’s head to the side and brought her hand to the shirt buttons.
“Ugh…”
Her hand was wet with cold sweat. Every time it slipped while pressing the buttons, Aria barely managed to unbutton the first one.
But the next ones were a bit better.
With the top three buttons undone, the blue Aria sat down hesitantly and looked down at Bonita. The body temperature was excessively cold.
‘Why all of a sudden?’
If it was a typical fever, there wouldn’t be any fatal organ damage as long as she dealt with it quickly. But considering Bonita’s age, there might be some other issue.
For example, an incurable disease…
‘What if it’s a big problem?’
Bonita seemed healthy. In fact, there were no problems when she first came to the mansion and received a health check.
But some diseases may not show any symptoms until they manifest.
Aria’s heart pounded with fear.
‘Could it be because of me?’
Elodie had been quite sick since she was young. If Bonita suddenly became like this, maybe an unknown genetic disease manifested just now…
“…Ton Yang! Hilten Yang!”
Someone shook Aria’s shoulders vigorously. The negative thoughts that were swirling around her vanished instantly.
“Hilten Yang, snap out of it!”
It was Rebecca Moore, the resident physician.
“Yes, yes…”
Aria replied absentmindedly. In the meantime, Rebecca was examining Bonita, lying on the floor.
“You did well with the first aid. When exactly did Miss Bonita collapse?”
“It’s been about 5 minutes.”
Hindley, who had calmed down again, spoke.
“I rushed straight to Mrs. Moore as soon as she collapsed.”
“Was there a fever?”
“I’m not sure. Probably not. She didn’t seem to have a fever.”
Rebecca checked Bonita’s body temperature and then turned her over to check her pulse.
“The heart is beating. No foaming at the mouth or signs of mucosal bleeding.”
“Is it serious?”
Aria asked anxiously. Rebecca’s expression darkened.
“We don’t know yet. It could simply be a sudden stiffening, but even if that’s the case, we need to conduct a thorough examination.”
Aria bit her lip.
Rebecca carefully moved Bonita on the sheet and gave instructions.
“It’s better to move her. Sir on the other side, please hold her legs well. If the patient’s body shakes, the seizure symptoms may worsen, so be careful.”
“Understood.”
As Hindley carefully lifted the other side, Aria, who had been biting her lips, asked.
“Teacher, is there anything I can do to help? Something I can do…”
“It’s better to inform Lady Luciensis and inform His Excellency. Also, call a few maids to help with nursing.”
Aria quickly moved. Whether there was a sour relationship between Luke and Saise, it was no longer an important issue.
Her steps towards Catherine’s room staggered. She knocked loudly on the door.
“Madam, madam…!”
After a few seconds, the door opened.
It was Catherine with a displeased face.
“Who dares to do such rude things in my house… Hilton?”
She grumbled with a frowning face, then blinked in surprise when she saw the faltering Aria.
“What’s going on?”
“B-Bonita.”
Aria stuttered.
“Bonita, Bonita collapsed. Rebecca is…”
“What did you say?”
Hearing Aria’s words, Catherine’s mouth slightly opened. She seemed dumbfounded by the sudden news.
It was too urgent to dismiss it as a lie or a joke, and Aria’s face was too desperate. Moreover, Aria was not the kind of person to make such a bad joke about Bonita.
After that, an emergency alert was issued to the Duchy.
Catherine rushed to where Bonita was lying, and Aria, with trembling hands, urgently informed the doctor. A servant carrying a letter quickly set off on a royal road to inform the Duke.
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
