First Love Never Dies - Chapter 7

“I think you need more rest, Madam.”

“So I do.”

It was at that time when he was breathing in to retort his words.

Trickle—

I felt something watery flow quickly down from my nose to my lips.

Ah, this familiar sensation, this feeling is definitely…

When I wiped my mouth off, I found my hand covered in blood. Oh, my God. I’m having a nosebleed.

While I was looking at the hand that wiped off my mouth, I could feel something flowing down from the opposite nostril. Blood began to flow down as much as possible in an instant and the bedsheets began to get stained.

When I saw the bright red blood, my eyesight suddenly became fuzzy. My surroundings were starting to become blurred and I felt dizzy. My vision began to slowly dim out.

I was starting to lose my bearings. Cold sweat began to flow and everything sounded like it was getting farther and farther away.

No, what’s wrong with me? Why…

“Alyssa!”

(t/n: he finally called her name!)

The last time I heard Rashid calling, I lost consciousness.

“Louise, I want some water…”

“Yes, Mistress. Please wait a minute.”

There is still red blood in front of me. My heart kept beating without listening.

When I drank a glass of cold water, it felt like my head finally cooled down.

“Phew…”

After a long sigh, I laid back in bed.

After collapsing in front of Rashid with a nosebleed, I was lying on a bed when I regained consciousness.

The doctor, who examined my body, diagnosed it as a sudden rush of blood to my head. My body wasn’t healed yet, but because of a sudden change of my emotions, I got to where I was now.

The doctor just said, “You weren’t so healthy to begin with, but you’re even weaker now. Try to stay calm,” and left.

I wasn’t so emotional… But if the doctor said so, then that’s what it is. Even if I pretend to be, I was also worried because my body was thin and skinny.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yes, I don’t feel dizzy anymore.”

“It’s been a long time since the Duke came, and you’ve already fallen in front of him.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Louise sat on the bedside and criticized me. I didn’t like it because it seemed like I was getting scolded by Louise, but I decided to stay still because I was embarrassed and ashamed.

Still, it was fortunate that I had a poor constitution and not for any other reason. If I had a healthy body, I could have been mistaken for being excited about Rashid.

It was never like that, but rumors sometimes spread ridiculously, so you never know.

“His Excellency told me to take good care of his wife and left.”

God, really? For some reason, he was being strange.

I stared blankly at the ceiling. I had no energy left since I lost a lot of blood.

“Really, Mistress. You’re a really worrying person.”

Louise wiped my forehead with a wet towel and said affectionately.

“That’s why I feel uneasy about leaving you alone.”

“Huh?”

“I’m saying this because I’m worried about you. You can’t do anything by yourself. But I’ll take good care of you, so don’t worry.”

“Oh, yeah…”

I think it’s time to say thank you, but the words didn’t come out of my mouth. It sounds warm when you hear it at first glance, but when you really think about it, your head becomes muddled.

Louise has often spoken this way before. Listening to it, Alyssa seemed to think of herself as a fool who couldn’t do anything without Louise, and it was Louise’s way of speaking that made me feel like I had to depend on her.

“So, from now on….”

“Louise.”

I quickly raised my voice and cut off Louise.

“Get me some warm tea.”

“…yes, Mistress.”

Louise’s expression showed dissatisfaction. I stared at her with a determined look as she stood there with her hands on her hips. Louise soon yielded to Alyssa and went to get her warm tea.

This certainly doesn’t go unnoticed when this situation happens. I could make up how Louise’s attitude toward Alyssa was from this.
