Chapter 854

Penulis: Summer's Blaze
Viola yelped as she quickly dodged the flying cup, then fell to the ground. The strain from days of working hard had already caused a dull ache in her lower abdomen, and with this fall, she felt a rush of blood flowing down her legs.

Rebecca froze in shock at the sight.

Tara hurriedly called for help to get Viola back to Grace Mansion, then called for a physician and a midwife.

Barrett was summoned back urgently. By the time he arrived, the physician and midwife were already there.

The baby wasn't full term yet, and the position was all wrong. After the fall, Viola had begun bleeding and her water broke. Seeing this, the midwife broke into a cold sweat.

Outside the delivery room, Barrett was filled with worry. This was his first child—he was about to become a father for the first time, and his heart had been bursting with hope. Because of this baby, he had been putting up with Viola, avoiding arguments and disputes. He never imagined such an accident would happen at such a critica

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1637

    Inside Northwatch Estate, Carissa held her mother's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. Even as Melanie scolded her daughter for being stubborn, she only smiled and cried without saying a word in reply.Seeing her behavior, Melanie grew worried."Are you ill?" she asked, touching Carissa's forehead.She turned to one of the servants and instructed, "Go quickly and fetch Sebastian."Carissa's sisters-in-law gathered around, each one speaking with concern.The servant soon brought Sebastian. When Carissa saw him, she couldn't help but cry again. She still remembered how deeply saddened she had been when the physician passed away, and how she had taken care of his funeral herself.Now, she knew she wasn't in a dream. She had truly come back to life—back to a time before she married Barrett. Thinking about the many things she could change this time made her laugh and cry all at once.Melanie and the other ladies thought Carissa might have lost her mind.After examining her, Sebastian

    In the main hall, Melanie sat quietly in her chair. An old maid stood beside her, and on either side sat the younger ladies of the Sinclair family. The matchmaker and Barrett were seated at the far left.Barrett's cheeks were flushed, and he gathered his courage to say, "Madam Sinclair, please rest assured. I swear on my life that I will take no other wives, nor will I ever fail Lady Sinclair."Before Melanie could reply, hurried footsteps echoed nearby. Her eyes were now too weak to see clearly, so she could only make out a blurred figure. The person rushed forward and threw themselves into her arms, their voice choked with sobs."Mom!"A sharp pain touched Melanie's heart. She ignored Barrett and the matchmaker, reaching out to stroke the girl's hair."Another bad dream?" she asked.Carissa had been kept in the dark about her father's and brothers' deaths, only learning of it after returning from Meadow Ridge. The grief had caused her to faint several times, and even now, she h

    Rafael took out the box of incense, broke the seal, and opened it, only to find a single incense bead inside, no larger than a peanut."Only one?" he murmured in surprise.The box had seemed rather large, so he had expected it to hold several. But no, there was just one. He looked at the bottom of the case, where a few characters were faintly inscribed. Though the words were a bit blurry, his eyes were still sharp enough to make them out.[Dreams of the Butterfly.]Dreams of the Butterfly… Dreaming Butterfly? The name sounded rather mysterious.Perhaps it truly could bring beautiful dreams, as the envoy had claimed.On the lid of the box, there were several more lines, carved in tiny seal script, each letter no bigger than an ant. Rafael squinted, but couldn't make out what they said. He didn't trouble himself too much about it. After all, Nerathia and Starhaven had long been on friendly terms. It would hardly be something harmful.Aside from the lines of script, there was also

    At Hell Monarch Estate, the spring rains of March and the Spring Remembrance Festival season had come one after another, leaving everything damp and soaked."Clarence, how is Aunt Carissa doing?" Ryan asked, concern heavy in his voice as he helped his friend out the door.Clarence was dressed in a plain blue coat, his hair already grey with age.He let out a soft sigh. "Aunt Carissa is already eighty-eight this year. She really shouldn't have gone out to visit the graves. The rain and chill have gone straight to her lungs."Ryan sighed. "I tried to stop her; we all did. But she wouldn't listen. Her memory's not what it used to be. Over these past two years, she forgets many day-to-day things, but somehow remembers the past so clearly. If we didn't let her go to pay her respects, she would've thrown a terrible fit."Clarence walked out of Orchid Hall and made his way to the side room to write a prescription."Aunt Carissa has never recovered from the grief of losing her whole fami

    I didn't expect Mr. Claude to once again ask Mrs. Murray to act as a matchmaker. And this time, he came with her in person. The gifts he brought with him covered an entire table. They weren't especially rare or costly, yet it was clear he had taken great care in choosing them.I knew his salary wasn't high, and I'd heard he had sold off his family's home and shop just to afford a modest house in the capital."Your Grace, I tried to talk him out of it many times, but he insisted. So, I've come with him, just once more. Here, speak with him yourself. If you truly have no intention of accepting, tell him so plainly. Be firm, so he will give up for good," said Mrs. Murray.I thought it best to speak plainly too. Perhaps then his face would stop appearing in my thoughts from time to time.With that, Mrs. Murray excused herself, saying she would stroll through the garden. She left us in the drawing room, alone save for the maids waiting quietly just outside the doors. I caught the looks

    That brief ripple in my heart did not last. Life went on, steady and orderly, just as it always had.Some people were like a bit of sunlight in one's life. They brought a touch of warmth, but then the sun set, and they were gone.It wasn't until several months later that Cari came to see me. She said Samuel had made a report to the Royal Citadel, claiming someone had been following him. After looking into it, the officials discovered Mr. Claude had sent men to keep watch on him.Naturally, Cari went to speak with Mr. Claude, who admitted it. He said he was worried Samuel might cause me trouble again and only sent men to keep an eye on him for my sake.But from that conversation, Cari also learned a few other things.It turned out that before becoming the top scholar, Mr. Claude had once brought his mother to the capital, as he intended to sit for one of the previous rounds of the examinations. His mother had already been unwell, but her final wish was to see her son succeed. With
