As Alvin Lorenson organized the medicine box, he brought up the main topic.
“It seems okay for my son to come and see you instead next time. I have a business trip lecture next week…….”
“……Yes?”
As Mr. Lorenson cleaned up the aftermath of the treatment, he said,
“He will come to see you on my behalf when I am not there, and to give thanks. I trust him and gave him a new job, but we haven’t been able to say thank you yet.”
Reyna’s eyes widened.
It was a story about the grandmother.
“He seemed to be adapting quite well at work when I saw him yesterday.”
Reyna forgot everything for a moment.
Even that Lionel Duke is watching.
Carefully, so that her voice did not tremble, Reyna asked,
“That’s……a relief. Is he saying there are no difficulties?”
Showing Reyna his back as if it was not important at all, Mr. Lorenson responded while pouring tea.
“Yes. More than anything, the patient is always kind, so he is not having a hard time at work.”
“…….”
When Mr. Lorenson turned around, a sense of relief that pushed everything behind was spreading across Reyna’s stiff expression.
Mr. Lorenson gave the poor maid a slight smile, hesitating with the dark red water in his hand.
“…….”
Because she had rested a lot for a week and had taken his detoxification drink, Reyna was relatively well drinking the dark red water.
But that was not a drink a young girl should be drinking for a long time.
Even if she drank it with a detoxifier, if she kept drinking this medicine, Reyna would definitely ruin her body.
He, as a doctor, knew that best.
Mr. Lorenson slightly opened his mouth.
“Miss. I see you’ve slept in late, is your condition not good today? Then the medicinal tea is…….”
“No, it’s not. Give it to me. I’ll drink it.”
Without hesitation, Reyna readily extended her hand.
As if she knew that her duty was to reassure the Duchess for the favor given to the grandmother.
“If I don’t drink it, I feel empty.”
Reyna even managed to smile as she spoke.
“…….”
With a bitter smile, Lorenson placed the teacup on the tray and extended it to Reyna.
Well……
Her health isn’t the problem to ruin by medicine.
He only thought of the Duchess’s orders momentarily.
It would be better for this child to take the medicine for a while than to ruin her life by giving birth to a bastard.
If she hadn’t been in bed last night, she wouldn’t have had to drink the dark red water……
Considering that she’s willing to take the medicine, it seems that she did get in bed after all.
What to do with this child’s life……
Reyna’s gaze fell a little lower and her expression was hidden for a moment.
And the moment Reyna accepted the tray,
Something slid slightly into the fingertips of Alvin Lorenson, who handed it over.
Under the tray, Reyna passed something over.
“…….”
While maintaining composure, Mr. Lorenson naturally tucked it into the sleeve of his clothes.
It was a spy note that the Duchess had been waiting for.
[This is the time separator]“Finally……!”
The Duchess, who received the first spy note from Mr. Lorenson, held it high in triumph.
And she glanced at Mr. Lorenson as if to show off.
“Humph. Wicked thing. As soon as you bring up your grandmother’s story, you immediately bring it?”
Mr. Lorenson defended with a smile not to upset the lady.
“That’s not the case. She had already prepared to give it. But when you mentioned the grandmother, she definitely liked it. Next time she will probably work harder.”
The Duchess was already unfolding the small folded note with a face flushed with ecstasy.
Seeing the lady’s anticipation, Mr. Lorenson added cautiously in fear she might be disappointed.
“……Don’t expect too much. There may not be anything so great from the start……. But she’s always trying hard to do whatever her mistress asks her to do.”
The Duchess began to read the contents of the fully spread tiny note, halflistening, halfreading.
“!”
Her expression then changed, as if she was suddenly taken aback.
【I met His Highness, the Crown Prince.】
【He came to the mansion unexpectedly. I had no chance to avoid him.】
【He intends to invite Miss Christina to the debutante ball.】
【He saw my face, what should I do?】
【His Highness thinks I’m Miss Christina.】
“……!”
The content was different from what she had expected.
The Duchess looked at it with a puzzled face.
And she read it again from the beginning.
【He saw my face, what should I do?】
【His Highness thinks I’m Miss Christina.】
Reina met the Crown Prince?
He saw her face?
He invited her to the debutante ball?
Reina?
“……!”
The Duchess, her face turning pale, stared blankly, then raised her head to look at Mr. Lorenson.
“Why? Is there some important information?”
When Mr. Lorenson noticed the unusual expression on the Duchess’s face, he asked her with a stern look.
The Duchess quickly retorted.
“Did Reina say anything else when she told you this?”
Had she written something truly serious?
Mr. Lorenson shook his head in bewilderment.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
