Chapter 37 – Part 1
“She has just drunk a fever reducer, so her fever will go down soon. The room should be kept warm as her body can’t get cold.”
“Ma… vegetables for Dad…”
Callen, Dante, Hilla, and Pihne all had serious expressions on their faces, but Mariette’s mouth kept making strange noises.
“Dad… is…”
She was calling for her dad and mom, with gibberish in between.
“Hng… stupid, a… little…”
Listening to her, Pihne gently closed her eyes and smiled. “I think Miss is telling the Madam about My Lord.”
Callen had a look on his face saying, ‘What is it about me?’
Seeing Mariette’s breathing stabilize, Dante sighed and looked at his watch. He was reminded of the dinner he had been busy preparing for.
“Your Excellency, how about your dinner meeting?”
It was at that moment that Mariette moved her hands from her body as if she was searching for something, and then grabbed Callen’s finger which was the closest to her. She was still strong although she was currently asleep.
Callen immediately opened his mouth without hesitating, “Put it off until tomorrow.”
The people’s faces brightened as soon as Callen’s answer came out.
Dante just shrugged. “Absolutely! Then I will go and let them know quickly.”
Pihne smiled as she patted Hilla beside her and looked at Callen’s fingers pointedly. It pained her to see that the young lady was sick, but this was also a good chance for the father and daughter to get closer.
‘Miss will be delighted to see His Excellency by her side as soon as she wakes up.’
The quick-witted Hilla stood up from his seat. “I will come back later to check on her fever. Then, I will go and make some medicine. Please keep an eye on the young lady, Your Excellency.”
It was Pihne’s turn this time. “Your Excellency, I will bring…”
“You can go too,” Callen said while turning the child’s body.
“Yes, then I will make soup for the Young Lady.”
The door closed eventually and Callen was left alone with the child.
Perhaps it was because of her fever, Mariette kept on kicking her blanket away. Even if Callen pulled the blanket over her in case her stomach got cold, she would kick the blanket all the same after a short time.
“Cold…”
After she kicked it, she started mumbling that she was cold. She was very fickle-minded. Even so, there was no sign of her letting go of Callen’s fingers.
“Cold… Dad, I’m cold.”
Callen hugged Mariette, who wrapped her arms around Callen’s neck instinctively.
“Cold,” she mumbled against his chest.
“…” He hugged her on impulse, but he had a problem after that. Now that Pihne had left, he had no idea how to deal with the child.
Callen stroked the child’s back clumsily for a very, very long time.
He thought she would be heavy when he saw how her cheeks were puffed up every morning they ate, but he didn’t expect she was this light until he hugged her. He originally didn’t know if children were supposed to be this light, or if his daughter was particularly light.
“…”
At some point, Callen sat comfortably against the headboard and watched the child sleep. Whether it was because she was sick or she was dreaming, her small forehead frowned from time to time.
Fascinated by it, Callen rubbed the child’s frowning forehead with his finger. He then tapped her little nose, and the wrinkles between the child’s brows deepened. He burst into laughter.
Seeing the sweating child’s ebony-like hair reminded him of the woman who had left him.
’Yurie, I still hate you. I can’t understand why you left me. Why did you so cruelly leave me with this small thing?’
It was hard to imagine how she turned her back on the world.
The child’s hair kept making memories resurface, so Callen deliberately tried to separate Mariette from his body.
She clung to him even tighter, and he realized that he was quite helpless in this battle.
