When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96
“Miss Edesa, it’s already past mid-morning. You haven’t even eaten— at this rate…”
“I told you I don’t need anything. Please just leave me alone.”
Seeing the tear gathering at the corner of Edesa’s eye as she sat by the window and sighed weakly, the maid sighed sympathetically. She tried once more to call out to Edesa, but quickly gave up upon seeing her frail profile, which looked as if it might collapse at any moment.
As soon as the maid stepped outside, two other maids waiting for her rushed over and grabbed her by the wrist.
“She won’t eat?”
“Yeah. She just keeps saying she doesn’t need anything.”
“I told you. No one can get through to her. Goodness, someone’s going to die at this rate.”
“Duke Elinak is being too harsh. Even if he hasn’t formally acknowledged her as family, she’s practically his stepsister—and yet he’s treating Miss Edesa like a freeloader.”
Among the whispering maids, a servant boy their age approached and joined the conversation.
“It’d be better if he just treated her like a freeloader. At least then, if she were a real freeloader, he’d exchange a word or two when passing by. That much courtesy is only proper. This is more like treating her like a parasite.”
“Exactly.”
“Why doesn’t she just return to the palace? Why does she insist on staying like this?”
“Every morning as soon as she wakes, she asks if the Duke is here—there must be something important she wants to say.”
The maid who had just come out of the room sighed.
“He could at least listen to her a little. Doesn’t he feel sorry for the poor girl?”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
To be honest, Tae Mi is my favorite character in this novel.
Wow that’s grotesque. I didn’t think this novel was going to be so gorey
