Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 190
Her Imperial Majesty the Empress invited me to the palace for treatment, just as she had mentioned previously.
I had stayed away from the Medical Bureau for a while, consumed by fear and complicated emotions, but the fact that she sent a carriage only two days after I returned to work suggested she was anxious as well.
I should have come to see her sooner.
As a physician, my foremost duty was to heal my patients; I felt ashamed for having avoided the situation merely because my own emotions were tangled.
“I heard you weren’t feeling well? Are you better now?”
She asked me this while serving tea.
As expected, it was a tea meant to warm the body. Given how sensitive she was to cold, she would naturally prefer something warming, even without a healer’s recommendation.
Despite it not being cold weather, she had a thick blanket draped over her knees. Having been addicted to Pimong for so long, she clearly wasn’t in good condition.
I sipped the tea she offered and relaxed. When a physician is tense, the patient inevitably tenses up as well.
“I’ve never had particularly strong stamina, so I occasionally take rest days where I do absolutely nothing. It wasn’t anything serious.”
“I see. Now that you mention it, I recall hearing you were unusually frail since birth. Lady Claire—no, Count Hydrangea—was born prematurely at eight months, which left you weak. I’ve also heard Count McKane took exceptional care of you from a young age because of it.”
I’d never heard before that Claire was a premature baby, yet I nodded calmly, pretending it was common knowledge. A healthcare provider who couldn’t manage their own well-being would only make their patient more uneasy.
“Please, speak more casually. You can just call me Claire. To be honest, even I haven’t grown accustomed to being addressed as Count Hydrangea.”
“Would that be alright? Truthfully, the name Claire feels lovely and rolls off the tongue easily.”
“And Hydrangea sounds rather cold—almost like a man’s name, doesn’t it?”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
