Chapter 104
There was something she needed to say? Chloe could feel her heart beating fast. This stemmed from the anxiety she had until just before, and she had a strong intuition that something bad would happen again.
She tried to hide her trembling hands and took a deep breath.
“Tell me what is going on.”
Andrea hesitated, then opened her mouth after making a resolution.
“Actually, there was a letter for Madam.”
“A letter?”
She could feel the anxiety strongly again.
After listening to her, Chloe noticed that Andrea was holding a letter. She stared at the letter in Andrea’s hand.
“Actually, it was sent by the Duchess…”
“…What?”
Her mind went numb for an instant.
Was her mother sending letters? But she had never received one before! Chloe looked at Andrea with quivering eyes, her surprise unfiltered.
“Master has been intercepting it for a while. He was afraid it would harm Madam.”
“Oh, my God.”
Chloe sighed, closing her eyes tightly.
She had the thought that she had harmed Eric again. As always, after happiness comes unhappiness. Chloe was very aware of this unhappiness and anxiety, so she was able to accept it with some level of composure.
Still, even so, she couldn’t stop the nervousness that surged uncontrollably.
“Master told me not to deliver it to Madam. However, I think I must tell you the contents of this letter, so I broke the order and came to deliver it like this. Please forgive my rudeness, Madam.”
Andrea lowered her head. Chloe told her no need to and shook her hand.
“Tell me. What was it about? Why did you come to me without listening to my husband?”
“That is…”
At her words, Andrea hesitated for a moment. She held out the letter which she was holding.
“You’d better read it than listen to me.”
Chloe thought so, too, and she immediately opened the letter and examined the contents. The text inside the letter was long. There were no greetings or polite manners, and the words of criticism, such as how she never replied to her letter, were written from the first line.
She shuddered at how many letters her mother must have sent, and her head ached at the thought of hurting Eric again.
However, she soon came to her senses and read the contents.
[“You don’t seem to care when I tell you that this mother is sick. How many times have I told you to send me the money for my medicine? Are you sure you won’t regret it even if I die? You’re really mean. How could you do this to me?!” ]
Even reading one short paragraph made her feel nauseous. Chloe was furious that her mother had been asking for the medicine bill when she was sick and that she was now trying to reclaim her legitimacy as a parent.
She caught her breath, trying to keep her composure.
“Since when did Mother say that she was sick?”
“Maybe…”
Andrea said intermittently.
“It’s been about two months old.”
…Two months.
It was when she was at Heath… That was when rumors spread that Chloe had divorced Eric and that she had left because of the pain. Her sensitive mother wouldn’t not know about it, yet she still sent this letter…!
Chloe noticed that her hands were shaking without realizing it. She clutched the letter and bit her lip.
“How did she say she was sick? There is nothing in this letter right now.”
“At first, she said it was a headache before she said she had chills, and more recently, she said she had lng illness. That’s why I’m telling you… I think she is not feeling very well.”
“No, it’s a lie!”
Chloe screamed out loud. She then shut her mouth because she couldn’t show a rough appearance in front of Andrea. Still, despite all this she endured, her anger continued, for she was strongly convinced that her mother was only feigning illness.
Her mother was always like this. She would always get sick if something went wrong and said she would die, and she would take out her anger on Chloe for not taking care of her.
She knew this pattern all too well, which made her angry.
…Bad mother, liar mother, bad person!
Chloe decided that she must send Andrea back as this agitation could not subside. She waved her hand at Andrea.
“First of all… I understand. I got it. Alright, you can go back now.”
Andrea had no idea Chloe would react this way.
Although she thought Chloe would show the least amount of concern, she never thought she would be so calm! She thought she had seen a new side of Chloe, but she didn’t reveal it because she was only a handmaid and had to obey the master’s words.
“Yes, Madam. I will take my leave.”
So, Andrea quietly withdrew, and Chloe, who was left alone, was finally able to express her anger to her heart’s content.
Aahh!
Chloe screamed and buried her face in his hands.
It was always like this. Her mother didn’t always look at her own happiness. When Chloe tried to be happy, she would hit her like this.
No, she made it painful.
She was horrified by this reality.
As she unknowingly looked back at the window, the window was wide open, and it was beckoning to her.
Come here and jump.
She hesitated, but she slowly, no, quickly approached the window. As she approached the window, the wind blew hard and raked Chloe’s cheeks. No, finally coming to her senses, she hesitated and stepped back.
‘…No.’
Chloe thought that this shouldn’t be the case, so she hurriedly opened the drawer, took out a bottle of medicine, and chewed the medicine down.
She sat down on the side of the bed.
…How long should she be like this? How long would she have to live in fear of her insecurities like this?
She didn’t want to live like this anymore.
Did her mind really not want to live like this anymore, or did she just not want to live? She couldn’t make up her own mind. Chloe decided that once she had taken her medicine, she needed to rest, so she crawled up to her bed and forced her eyes shut.
Unhappiness after happiness.
For her, this was all too natural.
Eric was immersed in his research.
Now, his eyes saw only towards the blueprint, and his ears were closed. His hands were moving, but not consciously. Since he hadn’t been to the lab in a few days, he could not help but be immersed in his research.
Mechanical heart.
And infinite power.
He had to succeed in these two things. Within three months at the earliest… no matter how late, within half a year. It was something that he had been immersed in for the past few years without success, but he had to succeed this time.
Chloe’s life depended on it.
‘…She has to live.’
Spending the night with Chloe made him love her more, cherish her more, and be fond of her more. So, he had to save Chloe… by any means.
In the case of an infinite-power engine, it seemed that it could succeed because it had been outlined to some extent, though the mechanical heart was a problem. To be precise, the implantation of the mechanical heart was the problem.
The transplant itself could be done by calling a famous doctor.
But…
‘At this rate, a blood transfusion is absolutely necessary.’
A mechanical heart transplant required a blood transfusion, but he didn’t know how much blood would be needed. Since there was no way to measure it, the life of the person who gave the blood transfusion could not be guaranteed.
Not knowing what to do in a case like this, Eric thought while chewing his lips.
At that time…
“Your Excellency!”
Daniel stormed in. Eric said without even looking at him.
“If you want to say something useless, go back. Because I’m busy.”
“It’s not useless.”
Daniel stomped his foot and touched his desk. Only then did Eric raise his eyes, and Daniel, who met his gaze, quickly spoke.
“Madam knew that the Duchess is sick.”
“What?”
Eric’s eyes widened.
“How can I…”
He had been hiding it for so long. It went without saying that he hid the letter in order not to let Chloe know anything about it, and he also thoroughly told the employees.
But how?
He couldn’t understand at all.
“Andrea confessed she showed the letter. She thought that the mother was in critical condition, and so the daughter should know.”
“D*mn it!”
Eric groaned and stood up.
“The Duchess must be feigning illness. It’s obvious, but why Chloe…!”
“Perhaps Madam thinks the same. Andrea says she yelled that it was lying in front of Andrea.”
…Chloe did? She yelled?
Eric was taken aback for a moment but then soon came to his senses. He tried to figure out Chloe’s safety.
“Even so, Chloe must be paying attention to it. Why would Andrea go to someone who is already sick!”
How nosy.
Eric muttered harshly and ran his hand through his hair.
“That’s enough. I will go.”
He quickly left the lab, and upon returning to his room, he was confronted with a terrifying sight.
