In the silent bedroom where only the rustling of bed sheets could be heard, the potion leaked from their overlapped lips and flowed down the count’s face.
A moment later, when all the medicine had transferred to Count Heidern, Lea pulled away. She then placed her hand on her forehead and sighed in relief.
“Ah, it’s done.”
She had fulfilled her duty. Lea’s legs gave way and she sank down next to the bed.
All that was left was to monitor the count’s condition for the next few days. Only then did the moonlight outside the bedroom window come into view.
The day had passed so quickly she had no idea how she’d spent it. Overwhelmed by the thoughts flooding in, Lea shook her head vigorously.
‘This isn’t the time for this.’
Lea wiped the count’s forehead with a wet towel.
The side effects of the new medicine began with a fever. The only way to minimize the heat was to frequently wipe down Count Heidern’s body to lower his body temperature.
Lea unbuttoned all the buttons on the Count’s shirt.
The rapid rise and fall of the Count’s chest muscles were visible. As soon as Lea’s fingertips touched him, they flared up as if they had touched molten lava.
“Please… Count, you have to come to your senses.”
Lea continuously wiped the Count’s body with a wet towel. For a brief moment when the towel touched him, it seemed as if the heat had subsided, only to boil up once again.
Soon, the bedroom was filled with hot air exhaled by the Count. Every time she moved her hand, Lea felt agonizing pain throughout her body.
Despite her arms feeling numb and almost tearing from constantly wiping him down, she couldn’t stop. Watching the Count suffer was even more painful.
Lea pursed her lips. Whether it was from wiping his body down all night, the Count’s fever seemed to have broken slightly.
Outside the window, which had been pitch black, now shone brightly with the morning sun.
A completely exhausted Lea mumbled, lowering her head beside the bed.
“Count, you can’t leave like this. Call me a traitor if you must, please…”
Had he heard Lea’s choked voice? Or had the medicine taken effect? A very familiar voice entered Lea’s ears.
“Le…a…?”
Akia, who seemed to have regained consciousness, mumbled Lea’s name. Lea quickly rose and called out to him in a greatly agitated voice.
“Count! Are you coming to?”
“Where am…?”
“You collapsed, they said you drank sun grass extract. That’s something you absolutely shouldn’t consume.”
“I…”
He trailed off, as if speaking was too burdensome after having lost consciousness for so long.
Lea assessed his condition and spoke.
“Don’t speak anymore. It’s fortunate that the new medicine I made seems to be working…”
It was at that moment Lea was letting out a sigh of relief.
“Cough!”
Just as it seemed the Count was improving, he began to vomit blood. Lea’s face turned ashen at the resurgence of Akia’s coagulopathy symptoms.
“Count…!”
Lea’s cries echoed throughout the mansion.
“What on earth is…!”
Startled, Lea hastily examined the Count.
Just a moment ago, his pupils were reddish. Akia’s focus was blurred, as if he had regained consciousness.
Lea frantically placed her hand on the Count’s chest; his heart was still.
‘Sh, the heart isn’t beating!’
Lea, her face pale, climbed onto the bed and began CPR. In a world without defibrillators, cardiac arrest was fatal.
“Count, please…! You have to open your eyes!”
Droplets of sweat formed thickly on Lea’s forehead.
Despite Lea’s repeated chest compressions, the Count’s heartbeat did not return.
Approximately two minutes had passed since she began the chest compressions.
She had at most three minutes left. With a sense of urgency, Lea became desperate.
“Please…! You can’t leave like this!”
It was at that moment she began CPR again.
[Dash] Bang!Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Behind it stood Jacob, a royal physician she had seen in the old mansion, followed by Lord Rodrigo.
“Word was the Count is in critical condition, what are you doing?”
“Lord, there’s no time to explain! Emergency care needs to be…”
“Emergency care? It looks like you’re suffocating the Count?”
Rodrigo’s icy gaze met Lea’s. Cold sweat trickled down her forehead, soaking her clothes.
She was enveloped by a tense, ominous feeling. Rodrigo, looking at Lea, called to Jacob behind him.
“Jacob, go check on the Count.”
“Yes.”
Jacob, who quickly approached, pushed Lea away from the Count.
Move aside! Where’s that quack healer?
Jacob examined Count Heidern’s unfocused eyes and then pressed his ear to his chest. Briefly flicking his tongue, he began to assess the Count.
Lea clenched her lips as she observed.
‘Now is not the time for leisurely diagnosing Count Heidern!’
“Alas… Count Heidern has already taken his last breath.”
“He hasn’t passed away! He’s weak, but he’s still breathing!”
“No need to listen further! Drag that woman to prison immediately!”
At Lea’s desperate outcry, the intense gaze of Lord Rodrigo bore into her.
Prison? Going to prison would be fine.
But for Count Heidern, this moment was his only chance.
Lea stood in front of Lord Rodrigo, determined to continue the CPR.
“We need to perform CPR! I can do it! His heart hasn’t been stopped for long; he will come back! I’m sure he was regaining consciousness just a moment ago…!”
“The Count’s healer speaks only nonsense. No need to listen further.”
But it seemed God was not on my side.
Lord Rodrigo smirked and gestured to the soldiers.
“What are you doing? Take this healer away right now!”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
