Chapter 178
In no time, people rushed into the room at Emily’s cry. The Duke and butler, then Derrick and Renald burst in.They looked at me lying down with my eyes open, and all of them suddenly were frozen at the moment. "Get the doctor, get the doctor! Hurry!""Y-yes!"At the shout of the Duke, the butler hurried out to call the doctor. The bed was quickly surrounded with people. The Duke extended his hand to me."Penelope, dear. Are you alright? Do you recognize your father?"I was almost poisoned to death. It was quite shocking that I survived after drinking the poison, and my fingers trembled a bit.The Duke, unable to touch me at last, rubbed his face roughly with his hands lifted. "Hey, youyou okay?"Renald spoke from behind the Duke. "Bitch, why the hell did you drink that!""Renald."The Duke sharply stopped him, who made a loud noise with blue eyes.The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelpub[.]comSuddenly my left cheek stung. As I rolled my eyes, Derrick was looking down at me with an expressionless face, his blue eyes shimmering.After that, beyond the door, I could see the doctor hesitating and just taking off his coat off. I was the one who came back from death, but everyone had a dead look in their eyes.A I looked around to see if Yvonne was there, I closed my eyes in relief when I did not see her. "Pe-penelope!"I heard someone calling me desperately, but I passed out again. I was tired.When I opened my eyes at their sorrow without wanting to do it, the doctor was in the middle of a medical examination."The poisonit’s all gone."The old doctor said, who was checking my pulse, with his eyes wide open."Her pulse was faint until yesterday, but today it’s back to normal. It’sa miracle.""Then she’s been cured?"Updated from lig/htnove/lpub[.]com"She just needs time to rest and recover." "Thank god."The Duke, who was asking about my progress, lost the strength in his legs and sat down. The face of the disbelieving Duke looked decades older.I looked at him with dull eyes and sighed secretly. It was surprising fine, except for the fact that it was difficult to move my body because I had been laying down for a long time. It was truly a miracle if I thought how there was such much blood.I couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable sensation that the cause of such a rapid recovery was related to the goddamned system’s dream that I had just woke up."I’m so annoyed."I was about to close my eyes again to shake off the complicated thoughts. "...What is it that you don’t like?"An unpleasant sound caught my attention. I opened my eyes only to close them again. His blue eyes were staring straight at me."I thought you would love to be in this state. What’s wrong with you?"As I saw earlier, there was a strange nervousness in Derrick’s eyes. He opened his mouth as soon as our eyes met.Visit lightnovelpub[.]com for the best novel reading experience"You woke up, so tell me. Why do you need to do this...?""Derrick, shut up.""But-.""How can you say that shit when she just opened her eyes?"Renald, who was standing silently, suddenly yelled."She woke up after a week! Can’t you ask her if she’s okay...!" "Renald! You too.""Don’t stop me, Father! You know you has been weird lately? You’ve been drinking like you’ve been on a rampage ever since she collapsed!""Now that she’s awake, why don’t we settle the situation quickly and put down the spreading false rumors?"Derrick’s reply made Reynold act as if he would rush at any moment. The room was suddenly noisy. "These bastards!"This content is taken from lightnovel/pub/[.]comHuk-! The Duke, who was worse than them, sprang to his feet, dragging his chair. The moment he was about to scream at them two.(Note: I love how stupid this family is) "Everyone."I reluctantly opened my mouth."I guess you didn’t hear that I’m a patient in need of recovery." The three mouths shut up at the same time.It wasn’t really my business whether they fought or not, but I couldn’t stand the noise. "I’d like to rest, please..."I casually asked for a favor, but suddenly I looked at the colors floating over their heads and opened my mouth wide.The [Favorability] was missing. Now the favorability’s gauge bar was gone. Therefore, I no longer had to look at them and curry favor from them.I changed the words that I was about to say. "...Would you please leave? I’m tired."My words changed the faces of the three men.Visit ligh/tnovelpub[.]com for a better experienceThe duke became solemn, the expression of Reynold was distorted, and Derrick’s jaw popped.(Note: LOLLLL. i can’t stop laugh from this. beat them all penny!!)I stared at them in the state of watching and murmured a silent request. "...I’m sorry. I had a short temper."Finally the Duke slowly managed to say."We’re going to stop here, so don’t worry about it. Rest well, Penelope."With a soft whisper, he soon dragged his two sons out of the room. I turned my back on them without saying thank you to them like I usually did.Tak—.I heard the door closing behind my back.* * *Updated from lightnovelpub[./]/com"Miss, say ah."The spoon Emily was holding was thrust into my mouth. After taking a few spoons of the soup, I frowned and spat it out."It doesn’t taste good.""But you still have to eat. Doctor said it’s hard to eat right away because you haven’t eaten for a long time."But isn’t it too much to eat it without any seasoning? When I didn’t finish eating, Emily had no choice but to clean up the dishes.Since waking up, the attitude of the servants has strangely changed.Not only Emily, but also the Duke, two sons, butler and all the servants that normally despised me.I was treated like a glass doll that could easily break. It was kind of funny, making me often twist the end of my lips.’Now.’The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelpu/b[.]comI asked Emily, who was arranging the dishes, out of the blue. "How long did you say I was passed out, Emily?""One week." "One week..."It was enough time for Yvonne to enchant the whole family. "How’s she been?""Who? Oh, oh..."When Emily realized who I was asking about, she came close to me and whispered. "After you collapsed, she was confined to her room.""Confined?""Yes, the Duke ordered her not to take a step forward until all the cases are settled. It is about this commoner, right?"Emily laughed cunningly at the remark. I was a little dazed by the unexpected news.There was no disturbance in her free actions, so I expected the whole house would to be fully under her control.For more, visit light/nove/lpub[.]comThis was because I thought it would be difficult for her to be admitted as the culprit, even if it was because of the ambiguous situation and the relics."Tell me what’s been going on."Emily told me in detail what had happened. Fortunately, the brainwashing didn’t seem to include her.I learned about the situation after I collapsed.However, when I heard the maid named Becky committed suicide one morning, I shuddered with fright. "You don’t know how much everyone had been worried about you, Miss. Do you know how worried Iwas?"After finishing her report, Emily complained with tears in her eyes. I answered in a nonchalant way."Really? You’ve had a hard time.""Hard time! In fact, the Crown Prince suffered more than I did"The most up-to-date novels are published on li/ghtnove/lpub[.]comI paused, looking back at Emily, as I had heard an unfamiliar word. "His Highnessthe Crown Prince?""Yes! He hasn’t left you side for a second since you collapsed. He can’t even sleep and breath because he was afraid that you would die at any minute!""...""But you know, every night His Highness would hold your hand and I saw how desperate he was begging you.""Begging? What?""I didn’t hear the detailsBut I heard he said he would give you everything you want, so please don’t die."At that moment, I could hear the voice of someone talking to me in my mind, whether it was a dream, a hallucination, or unconscious, lingered in my ears.— If you wamt to go out of here, I’ll get you out of here.— I will give you love or whatever you wish, I’ll do everthimg you wamt.I didn’t feel wronged about being slandered. I expected it and it was true that I drank the poison of my own will."If you don’t want to die, just keep pretending you don’t know anything. Okay?" At my words, Emily nodded and wiped her tears."Y-yes. I’ll keep ignoring them, Miss. I’ll just do as you told me."However, I honestly couldn’t believe it even though she had promised me it so many times.Perhaps the maid’s suicide was due to the heroine’s brainwashing. So I couldn’t be sure what would happen if Emily would be brainwashed."...By the way, can I keep my mouth shut and let them know that you didn’t do it yourself?" "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it myself."That’s what I thought when I said that to the anxious maid. Do we really need to solve this problem?
