Chapter 105
Eric was surprised as soon as he opened the door.
It was because Chloe was standing right in front of the window!
Her hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Her pure white skin looked paler in the sunlight, and her lifeless skin looked even more like the shell of a dead person today.
He couldn’t believe it.
She had been full of life lately. This changed in just three hours, so he could not help but be extremely shocked. In addition, she was swaying, looking like she was going to fall out of the window at any moment!
“Chloe!”
Eric quickly ran to Chloe and snatched her hand. Only then did she turn around and look at him with a mesmerized face.
Soon, she came to her senses.
“…Darling?”
She appeared to be confused about what was going on since she forced herself to lie down on the bed and close her eyes, clearly wanting to rest.
…Still, why did she suddenly come to the window?
Chloe suddenly became scared at the thought. It was because the fear that she might lose her mind and that she might really die came to her.
She hurriedly ran back and fell into Eric’s arms.
“Just now… what’s the problem? What were you thinking standing at the window?”
As he asked, wrapping his arms around her shoulders tightly, Chloe shook her head several times.
“No, darling. I, I don’t know either. Apparently, I was lying down to rest, and I came to my senses like this…”
Her words trailed off into the air.
Eric’s brow furrowed deeply as he listened. It was clear that it was due to a side effect of the medication or extreme stress. Whatever it was, it was not a good thing, it was a sign.
“Chloe.”
He spoke, cupping her cheek.
“Look at me, Chloe.”
Her eyes, which were still staring into space, slowly moved and turned to him. Eric looked straight into Chloe’s eyes and uttered.
“It’s okay. Nothing will happen, so there is no need to be anxious.”
“But…!”
She screamed without realizing it. Her anxious feelings suddenly surged.
“Mother does this. It will be like this again in the future, right? She’s going to bother me, right? She won’t let me be happy, right?”
She was already panicking. As Chloe shivered, her face turning pale, Eric hugged her tighter.
“Darling. What should I do?”
She stammered as she hugged his broad chest.
“When will I be able to escape Mother’s hands?”
Eric closed his eyes tightly.
In the past, he envied her for having parents. Erich himself was an orphan who didn’t even know his parents’ faces, so he was jealous of her family. He thought it was better to have a family, no matter what kind of family it was.
But not anymore.
Now that he knew how she had been mistreated by her family, now that he knew what a burden her family had been on her, he no longer envied Chloe. Once again, he felt so ashamed of himself for having such feelings.
He buried his face in her shoulder and squeezed his eyes shut.
“Now.”
He said.
“Right now, you can escape from it. Definitely.”
Chloe hesitated.
Could she escape? Really? But…
Chloe was left with the painful feeling of helplessness that she needed help from Eric again and that there was nothing she could do herself. She hated this. She didn’t want to be helpless anymore.
“I can’t get help from you again.”
“Chloe.”
“There must be something I can do.”
Eric shook his head at her.
It wasn’t that he thought there was nothing Chloe could do. He was just worried about the stress, pain, and mental trauma she would experience in the process, that was why he decided he had to step forward. He had no intention of delaying this decision.
“This is a natural thing between couples.”
“But, darling…”
“And I’m not helping you.”
Eric continued speaking quickly.
“We are together.”
Chloe’s eyes wavered.
Actually, she knew it, too. Even if she set out to do it, she realized that there wouldn’t be much she could do and that she would suffer too much in the process. So, contrary to feeling helpless, she was tempted to lean on Eric, and she was shaken.
“Just trust me, Chloe.”
He spoke in a firm voice as if to reassure her.
“We will make sure something like this never happens again.”
Chloe pursed her lips, then nodded, deciding that overcoming the pain was more difficult than feeling helpless. It was true that it was not easy for her to face the cause that had been bothering her for a long time.
Eric hugged her again.
The wind blew. The wind bringing the snow was still cold.
The Duchess, Chloe’s mother, was spending a leisurely day in the warm south.
Of course, she was lying when she said she was sick. The Duchess was not sick and rather was healthy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that someone with her stamina at her age was the healthiest person in the area.
However, the reason she told Chloe that she was sick was to make Chloe feel sick. In other words, she meant to harass Chloe.
That shameful Chloe.
She just wanted to scratch Chloe, who turned her back on her mother and tried to live well on her own.
Chloe must have fallen ill after reading the letter.
She had always been like that, so the Duchess had no doubt that she would be like this again. If she cared about her, if she truly cared about her mother because she was her daughter, she would restore the support the Duchy lost. Maybe she could talk to her husband and give them some money.
Weak Chloe would definitely do that.
And with that money, she thought she could take care of Joseph.
The Duchess sipped on the jasmine tea, dreaming of the ecstatic future ahead. Fragrant scents and warm air. It was a good day, as always.
That was, until a letter arrived out of the blue.
“Excuse me, Madam.”
The attendant who ran into the tea room spoke carefully. The Duchess was slightly offended because the attendant had interfered with his fragrant tea time.
However, since she was a benevolent Duchess and a person of great character, she decided that she could not get angry over such a trivial matter. So, she smiled softly and gestured at the attendant.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s…”
The attendant hesitated before holding out an envelope of documents in front of her.
“We received a call from the Central Court.”
“…Court?”
The Duchess almost dropped her teacup.
It was because if it were a letter from the court, it wouldn’t be good! Could it be that she did something wrong without realizing it? Like all people, when something like this happened, they got scared and their hearts beat fast.
The Duchess took the envelope and examined the documents inside, trying to calm her racing heart. The content was shocking, and as she might have guessed, it wasn’t good content.
“… He’s going to sue?”
The document was a complaint.
The complainant was Eric Aslan… the Marquis, and the defendant was the Duchess.
Over the past five years, the Duchess has been ‘extorting’ the Marquis’ money and ‘threatening’ Chloe Aslan, which caused Chloe Aslan to suffer a severe nervous breakdown and placed Marquisate Aslan’s finances in jeopardy.
As she read the letter, the Duchess was so shocked that she was unable to control herself and ended up stumbling and falling from her chair.
“Madam!”
The servant who came running hurriedly helped her up, but the Duchess was unable to stand up. She fainted in silence, her mouth stayed shut.
It was what Eric wanted.
It wasn’t until a few days later that Chloe finally regained her mind. She was still able to smile and talk like before. Eric has yet to tell her that he was suing the Duchess. Nevertheless, he was already satisfied that she came to her senses.
Today again, he prepared breakfast and left for the lab.
Chloe, who was left alone in the room, sat on the bed blankly and looked out the window.
Fortunately, she didn’t feel like jumping like before, though she didn’t seem to be in a very good condition as she still had the thought that it would be okay for once. So, she had the idea to ask Eric to move to the first floor when he came back today.
Still, just having this change in thinking was a huge success, Chloe consoled herself and sipped her tea.
At that time.
“Madam.”
Andrea’s voice came.
Her heart sank for a moment, but Chloe hurriedly shook her head and calmed her heart. As she answered, “Come in,” Andrea appeared the next moment.
“What’s going on?”
When she asked, Andrea smiled softly as she answered.
“A guest has arrived.”
“A guest?”
No one came to her, who was it?
