“Really?”
Lili was more excited than Molitia as she looked at the doctor who was right next to her.
“Alternatively, you should also take my prescription regularly on time. You should never skip it, even if it’s just once.”
“Okay.”
As soon as the doctor had left the room, Molitia took a quick glance around. There were a series of thick curtains, bundles of blankets and fluffy carpets which had covered the marble floor. The strange heat that permeated didn’t seem to be the result of her being sick after all, she thought.
“Lili.”
“Yes?”

“My poor lady. You were unconscious for about seven days because of that terrible cold.”
Molitia’s face turned pale instantly as she heard that from Lili. Seven days? Seven days? She had promised herself that she would never fall ill, but when she recalled the pain that she had suffered, blood seemed to drain from her face.
“The Duke…”
“The Master had already left as he was called by the Imperial Palace before.”
Lili grumbled how he had left at an hour like this, of all the time. Nevertheless, it was actually good for Molitia herself. Molitia knew how bad her current condition was for her, personally.
“I’ve been lying down for a long time, so I’d like to wash up soon.”
“It’s been so long since you’ve moved around that it’ll definitely be hard for you to even take a step. Therefore, I’ll bring a tub of hot water and some towels over.”
Molitia nodded. The blankets which covered her body had long been removed, but it was still quite hard for her to move around. It was at that moment where her inability to move had been strongly revealed.
Lili and Pillen returned with a bucket full of water. They wet the towels with the warm water and straight away started to undress Molitia. A thick layer of pyjamas fell off her body.
“I will need to prepare some healthy food for you. You’ve been so sick that you’ve become much thinner.”
“Is that so?”
Molitia tilted her head. She was actually in a much better condition than she was back then where she had been left unattended by the Count’s servants even though she was unwell. Except for the fact that she couldn’t muster any strength in her body, she wasn’t feeling all too bad after all.
“Of course. Your face is already half of what it…”
Lili closed her lips tightly all of a sudden. Her dismay was stuck at her throat, making it impossible to end her sentence.
‘My poor lady.’
It was such a pity that Molitia’s small figure, which was brimming with strength had already disappeared. Lili gently wiped down her body with a wet towel while not forgetting to apply the prepared lotion.
Molitia was quickly dressed with her new pyjamas before she was prepared to get her hair washed up. As she leaned against the bed, Lili then lifted Molitia’s neck while Pillen started to wash her hair.

“Madame, you have to take your medicine.”
“That’s right…”
Molitia answered as she was dozing off. While resting on the bed, she buried her head even further into the pillow.
“Wake me up when it’s time to eat.”
“All right.”
Molitia looked around with her still half-opened eyes. She had to show them that she wasn’t sick anymore, but she was too sleepy to stay awake. Warm water with the addition of warm temperature and also a mild fever would definitely make one’s head feel a bit faint. Contrary to Molitia’s will, her body gradually sank in bed.
“Just a little bit…”
If she had come to her senses before he arrived, she would still have an opportunity to redeem herself. A chance which was not to be hated. Molitia slowly closed her eyes as she murmured softly.
The meal was already prepared on the table that had been set, but Molitia still didn’t show any signs of waking up. Pillen was worried as she wouldn’t know how to rouse her Madame who was deeply asleep. Then, to her sudden surprise, she noticed a person who appeared unexpectedly from the side before she hastily gave a bow.
“Ma, Master…!”
He quickly interrupted her greeting. He gave a sidelong glance to Molitia, which made Pillen nod as she closed her lips.
