Meanwhile, Rebecca had been checking Bonita’s condition next to her, making sure she could breathe comfortably.
‘Prayers are clean. She didn’t swallow anything. There’s no additional bleeding… At least not yet.’
Fortunately, the stiff spasm state did not last long.
‘Is it just a simple fever spasm?’
Febrile seizures occur once every twenty cases in children under five, and they are relatively common with few aftereffects. Although Bonita is older, Hindley considered the possibility since her physical development is slow.
“No, if that were the case, consciousness should have returned earlier.”
In the case of typical febrile seizures, they rarely last for more than 5 minutes. Symptoms lasting more than 15 minutes are classified as complex febrile seizures, but currently, Bonita simply had loss of consciousness without convulsions throughout her body.
Yes, consciousness.
The problem was the lack of consciousness.
“Developmental abnormalities? She’s too old for that… Communicable disease? No, Bonita has been consuming sufficient water and nutrients since entering the Duke’s residence.”
Then, could it be an infection?
Rebecca, thinking of an unfavorable possibility, broke into a cold sweat.
If sudden convulsions and loss of consciousness without any prodromal symptoms occurred to the extent that it might be fatal, there was a high probability of a problem in the central nervous system.
“Meningitis…?”
Rebecca’s face twitched at the thought of the disease. Meningitis, especially encephalitis occurring in children, had a high fatality rate, and even if treated, there was a high probability of severe aftereffects.
In that case, the thought that the Duke might die from this situation made her spine chill. What was even more frightening than that was the fact that she, as a doctor, might not be able to save one weak child.
“I couldn’t even prevent Elodie’s death…”
Having worked at the Duke’s residence for a long time, she was very fond of both the Duke, who had been kind and cheerful, and the former Duchess. She had hoped for Bonita, the child of these two happy individuals, to grow up happily.
“Um, Mrs. Moore. I brought everything you mentioned. Including the disinfectant.”
“Ah, give it to me.”
Rebecca, who wiped the syringe with alcohol, mumbled.
“Well, I have to do my best with what I can.”
After all, that was the doctor’s job.
“Please hold the young lady well so that she doesn’t move. Although she’s unconscious, it’s dangerous if she regains consciousness in the middle.”
Rebecca extracted cerebrospinal fluid from Bonita’s back. The large syringe looked pitifully oversized because Bonita, at seven years old, was too small and thin.
The analysis didn’t take long.
The state-of-the-art examination device made with magical engineering pulled out the test paper with the sound of a typewriter.
“White blood cell count is normal…”
Rebecca’s eyes, which were busily scanning the analysis sheet, stopped at one point. Her small mouth opened slightly.
“This is…”
‘Perhaps even His Majesty the King is getting old. He seems to be having a hard time using his strength in chess.’
Luke, rubbing his tired eyes, left the royal palace.
The chess passion of the king, who turned seventy this year, was well-known throughout the entire kingdom. To the extent that he frequently summoned his courtiers to play chess.
Among them, Luke, in particular, stood out due to his innate tactical vision. Thanks to his intuitive way of thinking, the king, deeply impressed, would always summon him once a month to play chess together.
However, he didn’t go last month.
The reason was, of course, to spend time with Bonita. And in the future, he had no intention of going up to the royal court just to play chess if he could avoid it.
Yes, he used to have that thought.
“Sigh…”
Luke took a deep breath and habitually swept his hair back.
The more he thought about Aria, the more complicated his mind became.
‘What should I do?’
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no hint of suspicion. But those were all past actions.
Luke remembered Aria from that day.
“I’ll let you off this time.”
“So, don’t ever do this to me again.”
What a funny woman.
Who does she think is watching?
While Luke was about to mock and sneer, for some reason, he felt like it wasn’t the right time to do so and pursed his lips.
Because Aria’s expression when she said that was just like…
“Your Highness!”
His reverie was interrupted by an urgent voice.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s urgent, Your Highness.”
With a slightly annoyed expression for being disturbed in his thoughts, he accepted the urgent report handed by the servant.
[Bonita has collapsed.]At the familiar handwriting, Luke drew in a breath.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
