Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 146

“Therefore, I suppose I have to go. But……”

I groaned in frustration, mulling over the proposals Eloyd had made.

“I guess I’ve been thinking about this far too simply all along.”

I’d heard for quite some time that Claire had a fiancé. But since I was told he was studying abroad in the Pledinus Kingdom, I assumed there’d still be plenty of time before he returned and the wedding ceremony took place.

I never even dreamed that getting married would mean leaving the Carlobanian Empire or being forced to quit my work.

I’ve been an apothecary since before I even reached adulthood. Of course, I’m technically a physician now, but the actual work hasn’t changed much.

Anyway, I always assumed I’d do this job for life—it felt only natural. So this situation now felt like a bolt from the blue.

“Ian……”

Above all else, I couldn’t possibly leave Ian behind in the Carlobanian Empire. Setting aside the matter of marriage, Ian needed his medicine, and only I could make it.

Sure, I could theoretically give the recipe to someone else, but I didn’t want to. Even if I did, I doubted Ian would reliably take his medicine on time once I was gone—and what if his condition suddenly worsened?

Even if the Pledinus Kingdom was relatively close to the Carlobanian Empire, it was still a foreign land. No matter how quickly I heard the news and set out, it would take at least half a month to get there—an utterly unreasonable delay.

“Ughhh! Why must I face such trials……”

I scratched my head violently, then slammed my forehead onto the desk. I didn’t care if someone called me undignified. My entire career as a physician—everything I’d built up until now—was about to vanish! This was no time to worry about dignity!

“He doesn’t seem like a bad person, though……”

If only my fiancé were some brute or if there were some unavoidable reason preventing the marriage, I could use that as an excuse to call it off. But that wasn’t the case at all.
