Johann, who became the new Duke Blanchett, was also the perfectly ideal master she had imagined until Estelle, the duchess who didn’t even greet him in order to ignore him as planned, entered.
Of course, Patricia did not ignore the order and act on her own. She was always a loyal subordinate to Johann.
However, she had the right to move slowly in response to incomprehensible commands.
And unexpectedly, Anton rushed the Duchess of Blanchett.
In a way, the situation was as it should be. But the situation Patricia was faced with was completely different from what she had expected.
Johann, who had a blank face, summoned Patricia who had already received a close punishment from him.
“Patricia. You’ve worked hard as the housekeeper of the Blanchett duchy.”
Why the hell? Where did it go wrong?
“From now on, be faithful to your duties as a housekeeper.”
Now Patricia seemed to be pushed and driven away by the sick imposter. Moreover, that imposter was not even awake.
“…… Are you trying to drive me out?”
“Drive out?”
Johann, who seemed completely changed, looked at Patricia coldly and spoke.
“That’s a matter for my wife, the housekeeper of the family, to decide.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]When I woke up, my forehead was full of cold sweat.
‘It’s been too long since I dreamed of that time.’
I’m not a person who often has nightmares. It was a strange thing.
“Madam, are you conscious now?”
In the midst of my anxiety, I could see Betty right in front of me.
“……Betty?”
“Yes, do you recognize me?”
“Well, I didn’t lose my memory.”
Betty’s face was somehow pale.
“How long have I been down?”
Now I’m just feeling a little sore, so it’s not difficult. Only the cold sweat on my forehead was the trace of pain.
“Yes. You’ve been unconscious for about a week.”
“A week?”
I was surprised and opened my eyes wide.
“I’ve been sleeping that long?”
“The situation was really serious. We thought that you wouldn’t wake up as you were….”
Betty’s words faded and she made a bitter expression.
“The master was also very worried about you. He stayed with you for a whole week. He left now, seeing that you are getting better.”
“I must have been very sick.”
“Yes. Do you have any pain now?”
“Not at all.”
In fact, I don’t remember how serious it was because I don’t remember.
“That’s really a relief.”
Betty looked at the doctor sitting next to her and started talking carefully. The doctor looked like a very old man.
“This man next to you is Henry Hansen, a resident physician of the Blanchett duchy. He’s been taking care of you while you were unconscious.”
“Hello, madam. I’m Henry Hansen, the resident physician of the duchy.”
“Hello, Sir Hansen.”
I nodded my head to say hello. Henry chuckled and waved his hand.
“Is it okay if I check you right now?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
Both Betty and Henry were very cautious in their attitude.
“Then I will check you briefly.”
Henry began to check my condition by taking my wrist. It seemed that my body was a bit tense because he was a stranger.
‘Well, I should have seen a doctor for a checkup.’
The orphanage was not a place where a doctor could come, and in the Libertan duchy, all my illnesses were called malingerings.
Betty, who misunderstood my awkwardness in another way, tightly held my hand.
“Madam, Sir Hansen has seen your scar.”
“Ah….”
Betty bit her lips and showed a guiltridden expression.
“I’m sorry. But it was an inevitable thing to happen during the examination.”
“It’s okay. It can happen.”
“But it seemed the Master didn’t notice the scar. I was the one who handled all your dressing.”
Actually, it’s not such a serious secret. It’s not something that necessitates guilt.
‘No, it isn’t.’
It’s something that must not be discovered by Johann, even if others don’t know.
If Johann discovers the scar, everything will become complicated. I was relieved that Betty, unlike the original, quite liked me.
“Thank you for trying to keep that secret.”
“Madam…”
“You’ve worked hard because you were worried about me.”
To avoid being discovered by Johann, who has been attached for a week, must have required considerable effort.
At that, Betty’s face inexplicably showed a mix of moved and sorrowful expressions. A tear slightly formed in her eyes.
“No, you don’t need to thank me for such a thing, Madam….”
Looking at it now, Betty seems to be quite emotional and tearful. She must be doing this to survive in this harsh mansion with so much affection.
“Madam, I ask this just in case.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“Do you perhaps have a chronic illness?”
I shook my head. Henry’s expression became more serious.
“Really? What doctor…”
“I had never been treated by a doctor until now.”
“Excuse me…?”
Both Henry and Betty were shocked.
Even I would be surprised if a person who often appears sick like me says they were treated by a doctor for the first time.
“I wasn’t so seriously ill that I needed a doctor.”
“But, however…”
The doctor’s gaze went toward the scar.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
