After that, every morning, Brody’s strenuous efforts continued.
Literally ‘strenuous’ efforts.
Brody would wake him up, not fully awake, insisting that Idan treat a small cut on her finger.
However, since the first successful day, Idan quickly withdrew, bringing a bandage for her wounded finger.
And after staunchly wrapping it with a bandage, she asked, “Aren’t you going to treat it?”
“I already did.”
Then, the next day, Brody woke Idan by shoving her bloodied finger into his mouth.
Of course, he woke up the moment her finger touched his mouth, but it was already done.
That day was Idan’s defeat.
The following day, Idan endured sleep as if on guard, not properly resting.
With her elevated skills, Brody inflicted deeper wounds and pushed them into him.
Idan suffered, but resolutely ignored her attempts to gain his favor.
‘Really. I gave her a legitimate reason. If she can’t win, she just needs to treat the wounds pretending to give in. Her stubbornness is truly extraordinary.’
In the end, it was Brody who gave up first.
On the morning she gave up, Brody slapped her palm hard.
She didn’t intend to go so far, but out of pride or some other reason, she unexpectedly cut deeper than she thought.
Blood spilled onto the bedsheet.
“Please. Please stop. Please.”
“It’s Your Excellency!”
Even with a face turned pale, Idan eventually turned away from her.
In an attempt to prevent her, he unintentionally pushed her away when she thrust her palm towards his face.
From Brody’s bleeding palm, a red liquid stained the floor as she fell.
Seeing her writhing in pain, Idan’s expression turned concerned.
“Bro… Brody. Are you okay?”
Brody tried to make that phrase the one she hated the most.
The phrase asking, ‘Are you okay?’
The pained expression on her face soon turned cold, despite the agony.
Afterward, she rejected Idan’s offer of treatment using medicine.
“It’s enough now.”
Holding the medicine box, Brody left.
Since then, Brody never once suggested medicine, blood, or offered advice.
The headaches became solely Idan’s responsibility.
Although it was a self-imposed task, somehow Idan didn’t feel comfortable at all.
This incident made the relationship between the two even more awkward.
Idan had already distanced herself from Brody, and since she also thought it was necessary to keep a distance for Idan’s sake, it was only a matter of time before it happened.
However, during this time, the two lying in the hospital bed diligently recovered.
The first to open their eyes was River.
“…….”
Opening his eyes, he rolled his light gray eyes around.
There was a somewhat anxious look in his eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“Oops, Your Excellency! Are you awake? Your Excellency! Your Excellency is awake! Many respects~.”
Teddy, who had been dozing off next to him, shouted and came out of the room.
River was irritated when he asked for an explanation and left, making a fuss.
Trying to sit up, he put his hand on the bed, fortunately moving well.
But he felt deep pain on the right side of his ribs.
The irritation doubled, and as the door opened again, a woman with curly hair, perhaps Brody, came in.
She spoke while stealing a bite, as if she had just finished a meal.
“Are you awake, River?”
River frowned at her impudence.
He was awake, but he couldn’t understand the situation at all.
“Where are we?”
“Do you want an answer to some extent?”
“What?”
At Brody’s answer, River raised an eyebrow.
“For now, this is in the northern region.”
“Tell me in smaller units.”
Brody shrugged her shoulders and replied, “In a village with a potato field, next to the accommodation where Your Excellency and I stay, and Your Excellency is lying on one of the beds in that room.”
“Ha… A detailed and kind explanation. Impressive.”
“Well, how about the pain?”
“It’s tolerable. But why am I here?”
“Where would you like me to answer based on the term ‘here’?”
“Based on me lying on one of the beds next to Your Excellency and Lady. Do you keep asking questions like this to a sick person?”
“I asked to check how much your consciousness has returned. Please don’t get excited, and calm your mind; it’s part of the treatment.”
“…….”
Anyway, a woman who doesn’t say a word.
River’s eyes trembled slightly due to his irritated gaze.
‘Where did the Duke bring such a woman. Ah, the Duke didn’t bring her. That woman just appeared.’
In fact, Brody asked this question to test River. It wasn’t intended to annoy him. Well, about 80% wasn’t.
Based on his answer, Brody could deduce where his memory was cut off due to the effects of the dream leaf.
‘He remembers entering this village. Then his memory is probably shaky from the moment of the attack. Of course, he won’t remember me using my abilities.’
Brody answered with relief, thinking about removing the plant that entangled his stomach earlier today.
“Hey, don’t be shocked and listen. Because I can’t remember… Chief of Staff, we were attacked.”
“Attacked? Are you talking about me?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
