"Okay then. Since you've seen her already, don't you think it's high time you left?" Martha also feigned a smile
She sure knew how to handle someone as grumpy as Valerie.
"Seriously Martha, you should learn to take some chill pills sometimes. And Maybe it's high time you mind the way you talk to me, you know?" Valerie was obviously sounding angry already.
"Oh! Then, I guess you should forgive me for not minding the way I talk to you" Martha replied with a smirk and with fuming eyes, Valerie turned around and walked away.
Whoops! Roseline exhaled deeply.
"Since when did you start having issues with her huh?" She turned to Martha and ask.
"Well, it's just of recent. Lady started acting like god simply because my brother's about choosing a bride. She feels she's tbe one already" Martha answered loathfully and Roseline muttered an *oh*
No wonder she's feeling so insecu

THE KING'S HEALER Chapter 61
Pregnant.The words resounded in Roseline's head.Her jaws dropped immediately as she looked at the princess, wondering if she was playing with her emotions or something."What...did you just say?" She asked fraily, her voice helplessly shaking."I'm as surprised as you are, Roseline" Martha shook her head. "I mean...when the healer had told me about it ..I was really surprised. You didn't know about it, did you?"Roseline couldn't say a word and only shook her head as she was too muddled to react.She was pregnant? Like... carrying a child? She was going to be a mother soon? Good lord! She was pregnant?!"Roseline..." Martha called tenderly and held her hand, making her look at her. "Who's responsible?""For what?" She asked, completely oblivious to the whole thing."For the... baby. Like, who's the father of the child?" Martha spelt it out f
THE KING'S HEALER Chapter 62
Roseline stared pathetically at her as she walked away, somehow, her words sounded like mockery to her."I hope you don't come back here". Her words resounded in her head.But how does she do that when she's carrying the King's child? Martha is right. She really couldn't do this alone.Shortly, Martha returned with some guards who were meant to ride the carriage."Come on, let's go" she said to Roseline as she headed towards the carriage."Hold on, you're going with me?" Roseline asked and Martha stopped to look at her."Yes. Is there a problem?""Uh... I don't think that's neccesary, Martha. I'll be fine on my own...""Seriously Roseline? Are you kidding me? I brought you here and I'm taking you home. Come on, let's go". She held her hand and entered into the carriage with her.

Valerie's jaws dropped immediately. Whaaar???Her eyes darkened as she looked at the maid in front of her."What the hell are you talking about?" Her voice was cold and deadly."My mother told me, Mistress. She told me when she'd passed out, she noticed it and even told the princess about it" Anna explained.The physician was actually her mother.Valerie felt her heart suddenly become so heavy as she walked some steps away, staring down at the floor.Roseline was pregnant? She was.... pregnant?? For who exactly? For the King??"Good saviors" she mumbled, her brows furrowed deep in confusion.That lady was pregnant?? How possible?? And even Martha knew about it???Could it be possible it's for the King? But .. she wasn't so sure they've told him already."Mistress, are you
THE KING'S HEALER Chapter 64
Roseline walked nervously with Martha into the palace, her heart racing faster than it should.God! As the clock ticked, so she felt so scared. Was this going to end well?The maids and guards they came across kept bowing and greeting to them, although Martha was the one answering to them since Roseline was so depressed."You'll be fine, Okay?" She whispered to Roseline along the way and all she could do was manage a smile.They got to the dining room and the long table had already been dressed with meals - appropriately."The King said he'd be busy right?" Roseline turned to Martha and asked. "What if he refuses to come?""Um... let me go check up on him. Just stay here" Martha replied and hurried off while Roseline took a seat.**Getting to the King's room, Martha couldn't help but feel nervous before knocking on it. W

Roseline rushed to stand in front of the window."Oh! How do I get home Martha? It's raining so heavily" she asked worriedly, looking out the window and immediately, Martha joined her."Well, if you can't go home today, you might just spend the night here. Right?" She asked with a shrug."What? You should know I can't, Martha. I lied to my father I was only taking a walk with you and he's only going to end up being so worried when I don't get home. So, sleeping here isn't an option, Martha" she explained."Urgh! Fine, then. Let's just wait and pray the rain subsides soon" she answered and walked away, leaving Roseline in dismay.*Martha suggested they waited in her room and Roseline having no choice, had to go with her.The rain was still quite heavy and considering her condition, she couldn't help but falll asleep as soon as they were

"Aiken?" Martha called in surprise.Woah! She couldn't recall the last time she actually saw him."Hi, Martha" he smiled warmly at her with a wave and tried taking a peep into the room but it was clearly impossible."How've you been, Aiken? It's been months now" Martha said, still holding the door."Yeah... that's true. I've been fine and you?""I'm good".There was a brief pause, then he asked:"Is Roseline in? I actually heard she's here and decided to drop by to say hi to her"."Oh,...Yes, she's in. Please, come in" she opened the door wider for him and he stepped in with a genial smile.Roseline who'd been listening the whole time, suddenly gasped she saw Aiken walking in."Aiken!" She beamed and stood up to go hug him."My God! I can't believe
THE KING'S HEALER Chapter 67
"isn't that Roseline?" Valerie asked, pretentiously surprised.Lincoln watched quietly and couldn't say a word.Roseline? With Aiken? Why were they together in that manner? Kissing?A pain he never knew existed, struck hard at him immediately."Wow! So, they were lovers afterall? No wonder..." Valerie muttered, expecting Lincoln to ask her *no wonder what?*But he didn't.He just stared confusingly at them as they had already stopped kissing and just stared at each otherHe took his gaze away from the scene immediately and without saying a word, he turned around and started walking away.Valerie smiled mischievously to herself and went after Lincoln.As she walked beside him, she could notice it; could feel it. He'd turned extremely cold and it kind of hurt he to know he was acting
THE KING'S HEALER Chapter 68
The next morning, Martha had gone to the King's chambers like she said.At first, Lincoln had ordered the guards not to let her in, saying he didn't want to see anyone. But when Martha insisted, he just had to let her in."Make it quick, Martha. I have important things to do" he stated grumpily, fixing his gold beltHuh? Why was he acting grumpy? Martha thought.She suddenly felt a little nervous. Just a little."It's um...it's about Roseline, Lincoln".Lincoln paused and turned to look at her. Was she there to tell him about her lover? He thought."What about her?" He asked and it took Martha some time before she finally said the words:"She's pregnant".*Lincoln thought he heard something funny; Martha was joking.Hold on... What did she just say?? Who was pregnant?
