Beginning of Volume 2

Unlike Vivian’s wish that yearned for time not to pass at all, the sun that had risen in the blue sky was shining ever so brightly.

As the warm sunlight had pricked on her eyelids, Vivian turned her body in response. Around this time, the hands of a particular someone would soon move, but since they were staying still, Vivian immediately parted her eyes before looking upwards.

“Knox…….?”

Contrary to her thought that he might not be there, he was actually deeply asleep at that moment.

Vivian carefully raised her upper body before reaching out to him. Vivian was only trying to feel his warmth, but the moment she had brushed against his clothes, she hurriedly opened her eyes wide.

In comparison to her own body temperature, he was actually burning. Vivian quickly shook her body, Knox had shown no sign of waking up at all.

She felt like the somnolence that was lingering at the corner of her eyes had disappeared at that instant.

Vivian, who finally realized that he was whimpering while even breaking out in cold sweat unlike his usual self, immediately went to shake him softly.

“Knox? Are you okay?”

Vivian had hoped for his response, but he didn’t move his lips even once at all. In fact, his eyelids were still heavily closed and they showed no sign of opening in the slightest.

“Kno…….”

When she looked at him, who was showing no sort of movement—even the slightest inch—despite her very efforts, her heart immediately leapt in fright. If not for his hot breath, there was no doubt that he would have been considered dead.

What if something goes wrong just like this? Vivian’s complexion began to turn blue—just like Knox himself.

Is it because I made such a wish yesterday? Just because I never wanted him to be with Young Lady Alexia and therefore, he’d become sick forever—or something like that?

No.

Vivian unconsciously withdrew her hand from Knox’s body in a hurry.

That’s not possible. There’s no way that his condition will take a worse turn just because of something which I have complained merely in my heart. Even though she was aware of it, she still couldn’t conceal that anxiety in her heart.

As if she was trying to escape from her mind, Vivian quickly stepped out of the bedroom. She hurriedly ran towards a particular place, all the while forgetting the fact that she wasn’t wearing her usual pajama, instead it was soft and it could be pierced by the sunlight without any filtration at all.

She would have hated it if something bad were to happen to him.

It wasn’t like she had hoped for him to be sick at all.

I only wished for a little more time. Vivian was very anxious as she felt that this had gone wrong because of her own self.

“Doctor! Doctor!”

As soon as she arrived in front of the door, Vivian began banging on the door ruthlessly.

She hated if her surroundings were all too silent. It reminded her back to her quiet house since all members of her family had passed on due to the epidemic. No matter how loud she had cried out, not even a single note could be heard back. As the current situation seemed to be overlapping with her own back then, her hand that had kept pounding on the door grew more violent.

With a worrying heart that wondered if his condition had aggravated during this time, Vivian’s complexion immediately took a worst turn.

“Please come out quickly!”

Did Vivian’s desperate heart be heard? As the tightly closed door opened, the physician who was filled with drowsiness came out.

“Hoammm. What is it this early morning……”

The physician’s voice was obviously filled with much annoyance. He yawned while barely opening his eyes. But when he saw Vivian, his hand instantly stopped at that moment.

“Young Lady?”

“The Grand Duke—the Grand Duke…”

Despite knowing that she should have explained the situation quickly and concisely, her mouth on the other hand appeared to be broken as she was just repeating her words endlessly. The physician, who had understood the situation to some extent as he studied her expression, immediately tapped her on the shoulder.

“I’ll quickly prepare and we’ll leave. Please wait a little longer.”

Vivian could only nod herself and he quickly went back upstairs.

This small place was a little more quiet than the mansion where Vivian and Knox had stayed. When she thought about the lingering silence if she hadn’t knocked on that door, she was immediately engulfed in a sense of alienation.

A few minutes had passed only with her gazing towards the end of the stairs—out of anxiety. When the physician’s figure had finally emerged all the while she was waiting, only then Vivian could manage to heave a relieved expression.
