“Phew!”
Feeling the cool breeze through the open window, Liz was practicing walking.
Thanks to days of diligent rehabilitation training, walking had become much easier than before.
The refreshing beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead due to the rare physical exertion felt pleasant. She wanted to walk a bit more.
Liz stepped through the open door into the hallway.
Seeing no one around, she realized it must be the servants’ rest time.
Liz advanced as far as the central staircase. Just as she was about to turn around at that point, she realized her body wanted a slightly more strenuous stimulus.
“Let’s try going down a few steps.”
The doctor had said stairs were still too much, but that was two days ago. And today, she felt particularly good.
Liz grabbed the railing and lowered her foot one step down.
It required more strength than walking on flat ground. Her legs began to tremble after going down just one step.
“That’s enough for today.”
Barely recovering, she thought she should not be greedy as she might have to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair if she injured herself again.
Liz lifted her foot to climb the stairs. But had her strength suddenly given out?
Her leg buckled, and her weight shifted backward.
She quickly grabbed the railing, but she didn’t have the hand strength to correct her already tilted balance.
“Oh no, I’m going to die!”
Liz closed her eyes tightly.
But then.
Her body, which had been tilted at a terrifying angle, stopped tilting and remained still. It even felt as if she were warmly wrapped in clouds. What was happening?
Liz cautiously opened her eyes.
“Are you all right, Miss?”
Kain was holding her in his arms.
She was alive, thank goodness… But another thought came first.
“Why is it you again?”
She was so embarrassed that she even thought falling might have been better.
Misunderstanding her embarrassment, Kain said,
“Oh, you were really startled. I’ll take you to your room.”
“No, I’m fine,” Liz hurriedly said.
Though she had no strength left to walk to her room, she felt it would be better to crawl there than to be carried in this man’s arms.
Then Kain smiled warmly and said,
“I’m not fine.”
He was smiling, but his tone was firm and did not allow for any argument.
Liz had been noticing a new side to Kain lately.
She had thought him gentle, but he was actually a firm man. He had deceived her by hiding a blade in his gentle arms.
For some reason, Liz felt a chill in her heart.
And she was more determined to get rid of this man or flee from him if she could not.
Apart from the warmth she felt from his solid chest and the delicate way he treated her, as if she were a fragile ornament.
(This is a time divider.)
“Ththank you.”
Liz, who had been set down on her bed from Kain’s arms, glanced around and expressed her gratitude.
Since finding out his identity, Liz had made it a habit to watch for anything in her actions that might annoy him.
Kain looked at Liz and asked,
“Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“No, it’s…”
But as she said that, Liz inadvertently twisted her face in pain due to the unpleasant throbbing in her leg.
She quickly hid it, but Kain had already noticed.
“I’ll be rude for a moment.”
He then suddenly lifted her skirt.
“What, what are you doing?”
Liz was flustered and tried to pull her skirt down, but Kain did not flinch.
After a moment of studying Liz’s leg intently, Kain frowned and said,
“Your leg is swollen like this, and you say it’s fine?”
Swollen?
Liz then looked down at her bare leg, exposed up to her thigh.
Her right knee was visibly swollen, as if filled with water.
‘Did I overdo it? Is it because I suddenly used a joint I hadn’t used for a while?’
“I think I need to ice it.”
Kain said.
“It’s fine. Just call Mirabel.”
“Miss Mirabel is currently out.”
“Then at least call another maid…….”
“I’ll do it.”
Another resolute tone. An intimidating pressure that made Liz shudder every time she heard it. Liz could no longer dissuade him. It seemed best not to provoke him.
“Alright……. Do as you say.”
Kain, who had momentarily withdrawn, returned in less than five minutes.
With a soft towel in one hand and an ice pack in the other.
Kain wrapped Liz’s knee with the plush towel and placed the ice pack on it.
Nevertheless, the cold quickly penetrated the towel and seeped into her knee skin.
As Liz shivered at the cold touch, Kain brought a thick blanket and wrapped it around her shoulders.
Such kindness ingrained in him.
Indeed, she was the one who had ordered him to do so. And he would have been fried if he had been the least bit negligent.
Now, it should be okay.
No, she wished he would stop.
“Now go to Lilia. A maid should stay by her master’s side.”
Liz said calmly, as if ordering him. But inside, she was burning up.
‘Please leave quickly. I feel like I’m going to suffocate.’
“Just a little longer. I’ll watch the swelling go down.”
No doubt, Liz was convinced that this man was trying to choke her in this way.
Then suddenly Kain asked.
“Can I ask you something I’m curious about?”
