Chapter 108
After Chloe collapsed, Eric was so flustered that he couldn’t come to his senses. He was fumbling, and if Daniel hadn’t come running to help him, he could have collapsed as well.
Eric was in great shock.
Despite the fact that he had seen her collapse before, it was the first time he had witnessed the moment she collapsed, coughing up blood! Moreover, that wasn’t the only reason he was shocked. He could feel it intuitively by looking at her appearance that this wasn’t because of Chloe’s illness but because of the tea she was drinking!
As he immediately ordered the tea that Chloe consumed to be investigated, the maid who served her tea and all the people who touched it were arrested and interrogated.
In the meanwhile, Chloe, who had not been able to open her eyes until then, was moved to the bed and anxiously waited for the doctor to come.
“… It’s poison.”
The doctor said something so obvious. Eric also noticed something like that. For him, what kind of poison was more important.
“As soon as she drank the tea, she vomited blood and collapsed, and it hasn’t happened so far.”
“Did she drink a lot of tea?”
“No.”
Eric shook his head.
“A sip or two.”
“Then, that’s a good thing.”
The doctor finished examining Chloe with a sigh of relief before he glanced at the teacup that had not been put away yet.
“Madam’s condition is coughing blood, jaundice, sunken eyes… The tea even had a sour smell…”
More details would be revealed when the investigators came, but the doctor was certain.
“This must be Ramex poison.”
Deadly poison, Ramex.
It was a poison that could be lethal even if consumed in small amounts. However, it seemed like she had avoided death thanks to it being diluted with tea.
Fortunately, indeed.
“Still, because she didn’t ingest it in large quantities, it didn’t get to a point where her life was in danger. It seems like the person who took the poison was immature.”
Listening to the doctor sighed as he spoke, Eric’s eyes narrowed.
“But why did Chloe fall like this? As you said, if you took a small amount of poison, even if it was diluted and consumed in very small amounts, it could be okay.”
“Isn’t her body naturally weak?”
The doctor said calmly.
“I think that’s why it had a big impact. I think it may have made Madam’s illness worse.”
“Therefore…!”
Eric approached the doctor angrier than ever. It seemed like they were trying to grab the doctor by the collar at any moment as he continued his words.
“I’m asking if Chloe can live. Will she survive?”
The doctor was taken aback, but he kept his composure, thinking that this was how a husband with a poisoned wife would naturally behave.
“Yes. She will live as long as you take good care of her.”
“Whoo.”
It was only after hearing those words that Eric sighed and sat down in his chair, burying his face in his hands and gently biting his lip. He seemed to know very well who did this.
These people were looking for Chloe’s death… the people covet the seat next to him like animals.
Who could there be?
‘…The royal family.’
He gritted his teeth.
The royal family must have done this. They must have done this ridiculous thing to get revenge on him for cutting off the deal on his own terms and to force him to marry Elizabeth once Chloe died.
Eric was so angry, feeling like he was going crazy with anger. Nonetheless, he shouldn’t get emotional. One way or another, Chloe would overcome her poison and survive, and he would have to deal with this by then — finding the culprit, putting pressure on the royal family.
“Take care of Chloe.”
Eric said, jumping to his feet.
“Where are you going?”
Daniel, who was standing nearby, said.
“Don’t we need a way to properly save Chloe?”
“What do you mean by that?”
When Daniel frowned at his master’s, not understanding what he said, Eric answered.
“Chloe…”
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
“If she lives properly, even the royal family won’t be able to mess with her.”
So, this meant going down to the lab to create a mechanical heart. Even though he understood Eric’s feelings a hundred times, still…
Daniel glanced at Chloe, who was barely breathing and decided to open his mouth.
“So you’re going without taking care of Madam?”
“There’s you and Andrea? A doctor will also be stationed here.”
“But…”
Madam would have been even more touched if he had been there when she woke up… Daniel wanted to say that, but the determination on Eric’s face looked so strong that he couldn’t.
“There are priorities.”
Eric muttered as if he was making a promise to himself. Although he also wanted to be by Chloe’s side, he knew very well that he couldn’t do that now.
“I need to succeed in my research right now.”
So, he went straight down to the lab, and Chloe struggled to survive, unconsciously taking the medicine the doctor gave her.
That took a few days.
Chloe had a dream.
Her childhood. Therefore… a childhood dream with her mother and father.
They were having a nice tea time together, and their relationship was very good. Her father loved her mother, and her mother was kind to her father. They continued their conversation, looking out for each other.
What a surprise!
Chloe became strangely happy. Yes. There was a time like this in her childhood…
As she thought that, she was filled with happiness.
But as soon as she thought this, her mother and father suddenly started fighting. Little Chloe was so sad that she burst into tears, and her mother slapped her cheek and threatened her that if she cried one more time, she would gouge out her eyes.
Her father got angrier at her mother. The sound of holding back crying, the mother’s yelling, and the father’s yelling can be heard overlapping.
Chloe squirmed, covering her ears with her hands. Unhappiness that came after a brief moment of happiness…
Maybe she realized this from then on.
Soon, the scene has changed.
This time, Chloe remembered the day she first left for the North. At that time, she was much more excited and happy than ever.
Eric Aslan.
He was the only man she fell in love with at first sight. Of course, it was a marriage as if she was being sold — and it was true — though she thought that Eric would remember her, and she believed that he would gladly welcome her back.
However, what was the reality?
Eric didn’t even look at her, left her alone, and forced her to spend a long time in a cold and lonely northern castle. This, too, was a long misfortune followed by a brief moment of happiness.
Chloe had been through this situation several times.
When she felt happy, unhappiness came.
When she felt happy, something unpleasant came along.
…It was the same this time, too.
She met DeHaan and Jeffrey and he felt happy, and as soon as she decided to live further, she collapsed. This, too, was the misfortune that followed happiness.
How long should she continue living like this?
How long would she have to live like this…
That was what Chloe thought in her dream, and she even thought that she didn’t want to wake up anymore. She didn’t want to open her eyes. It felt like misfortune would strike her again if she opened her eyes.
She wanted to stop all this now, not wanting to feel any more pain or suffering. She was tired of living with the misfortune that could come at any moment.
Now… she wanted to stop everything.
Wouldn’t it be better to die?
Chloe thought that maybe it would be better for her to die, and this thought made her unable to wake up. She escaped reality by wandering in her dreams.
This time, the scene cuts to Chloe accepting Eric.
Eric told her that he loved her, and Chloe felt his love, and she accepted him.
They held hands.
Still, that was only for a moment. Eric’s hand, which was holding her tightly, slowly loosened, and he walked towards someone. It was for the princess, Elizabeth. He took Elizabeth’s hand and stopped looking at her.
She was abandoned, and Eric and Elizabeth left together, holding hands…
Was that scene really real?
No, it would be a dream and not real.
Nonetheless, it could happen at any time… Eric abandoned her and chose Elizabeth.
She didn’t want that. Chloe didn’t want to let Eric’s love go, even if it meant death. It would have been better for her relationship with him to end with her death, but for him to abandon her while she was alive…
It was difficult to accept it any longer.
Chloe felt like she shouldn’t be like this.
She had to wake up… to wake up and see Eric.
She needed to reaffirm his love. If it was the only one and unchanging, if that unique love truly existed…
“….”
When she slowly woke up from her dream, Chloe saw a pure white ceiling. She could feel her body still not moving well.
“Oh my God, Madam!”
Andrea’s voice came, but Chloe couldn’t turn her head. It was because her body had no strength at all, and it was difficult for her to even lift a finger. As she blinked her eyes slowly, Andrea screamed one after another.
“I will bring the master soon!”
Eric wasn’t there.
Chloe closed her eyes again, feeling strangely disappointed at Eric for not protecting her, as she felt that she had hoped that Eric would be by her side. Perhaps the love he talked about was changing? Maybe his love, like the misfortune that comes after happiness, disappears one day?
She felt anxious again, and it squeezed all the pain inside her. Her heart hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe properly.
Cough!
Chloe curled up, coughing. She trembled without even being able to straighten her messy hair.
It was right then…
“Chloe!”
Eric burst through the door and came in. He came running and lifted her body up.
“I’m so glad. What a relief.”
He uttered as he hugged her.
“I succeeded, too.”
It didn’t make any sense.
Even though she wanted to ask, it was difficult to open her parched lips. In the meanwhile, Eric cupped Chloe’s cheeks with sparkling eyes.
“I finally created a mechanical heart that will save you!”
