CHAPTER 025 Just as I started to feel wary, Lewis produced a small seed. "Take it." A seed? What's this for? As I accepted it with both hands, the seed swiftly transformed into a bouquet of tulips in my palm. "Wow… it's a flower?" "You like flowers, don't you?" Do I? "Not that much-" Before I could finish, a conversation I'd had with Lewis came to mind. That time I bragged to Philip about receiving flowers. "It's even better because it's from someone as wonderful as you, Marquis!" "Isn't it?" Of course, this is what he wanted to hear. Receiving flowers is nice, but receiving them from a wonderful person is even better. When I said this about Philip, Lewis didn't seem to like it much, but he was beaming now that I'd said it about him. "There are so many flowers! Last time it was just one." "Yeah. One flower isn't enough to be proud of." "What's this, Lewis? Wh...

CHAPTER 024 "Don't take it off." "Pardon?" "Keep your hand on my forehead." "Oh, okay." It wasn't a difficult request, so I complied.  It felt a bit awkward to keep my hand on his forehead for an extended period rather than just briefly checking his temperature. The silence between us was starting to feel uncomfortable and strange, so I tried to strike up a conversation. "Do you feel anything?" "Why? What should I feel?" "Nothing! I was just asking." He spoke in a weary voice, but despite his condition, he managed a crooked smile as he looked at me. Seeing him capable of smiling reassured me that he was definitely feeling better than before.  For some reason, I felt compelled to offer an explanation. "I was asking if you could feel my energy. With my hand like this, your mind must be clearing up." "I can't say I feel any energy." "Then why do you want me to keep my hand here?...

CHAPTER 023 "It seems I can't keep you company today." "Who said you were keeping us company? Just lie down and sleep!" Bella tried to lay him back down, but Lewis didn't listen. "Why are you trying to make me sleep?" "You often took naps at our mansion. It's the same thing." "Is it the same to sleep because you want to and to sleep because you have to?" Lewis, dumbfounded, dealt with Bella. He seemed irritated but was talking more persistently than expected. Is he enduring it through sheer willpower...? "Do you need anything?" "No." "If you need anything done, just let me know!" I said, wanting to be of some help. "If I need something, I'll call a servant. Why would I ask you?" He immediately refused. Well, that made sense. We came to find out why Lewis had skipped work, and here we were, visiting him because he was sick. Wait, visiting the sick? Suddenly, another thought came to ...

CHAPTER 022 "Why are you so surprised?" "There's no one here, and suddenly I hear a noise. Of course, I'm surprised." "Really?" Lewis had no way of understanding the plight of a skittish person. "I didn't hear that you were coming. When did you arrive?" "Just now." Anyway, for the subject of strange rumors, he looked quite normal. His handsome face still held a cynical smile. Did Lewis know he had become the talk of the town lately? As I approached him, I noticed something. Lewis was holding a syringe in one hand. Though I couldn't see it clearly, the shape protruding from his hand looked familiar. "A syringe?" "Oh." Lewis, either impressed by my keen eye, held it up straight for me to see. And I was startled. There was something quite suspicious inside the syringe Lewis was holding. "Blood..." "Blood?" Lewis, narrowing his eyes for a moment, checked the syringe and then smirked. ...
