Chapter 1669 Human Or Ghost
Even though the room was pitch black, she could see once her eyes had adjusted to the darkness.
There was a young man sitting on the bed who was breathing heavily. With one hand gripping the edge of the bed and the other on his chest, it was apparent that Kurt was in pain.
In that instant, Lucy turned pale when she saw the pool of blood.
“Prince Kurt!”
She immediately rushed over and got down in front of him. When she saw Kurt’s face was covered in perspiration, her heart ached so badly as though someone was tearing it apart.
“What happened to you? Why are you having another relapse all of a sudden? Didn’t you just take the medicine two days ago? Did that dad of yours upset you again?”
Her heart wrenched. She immediately took out the medicine that she had brought along with her and gave him two.
However, just as she wanted to give him the medicine, he looked up.
“Get lost!”
Then, he smacked the medicine away.
Lucy was speechless.
At that moment, she had the urge to seize control of him and forced the medicine down his throat.
In the end, she held back.
Putting a lid on her temper, Lucy tried to talk some sense into him. “Prince Kurt, please calm down. You’re in a precarious situation right now. If you can’t put up with it, you will only end up with more suffering. If you still want to save your mom, then the only thing you can do in front of the king is to bear with it. Do you understand?”
Kurt remained silent afterward.
He shut his eyes because the pain in him had reached its peak. She could nearly hear his knuckles cracking as he gripped the edge of the bed.
His entire body started to tremble as well.
The moment Lucy saw that, she took out another two pills and gave it to him.
“I beg of you. Please take the medicine, Prince Kurt.”
She still did not dare to force the pills down his throat.
Instead, she appealed to him.
Perhaps, her words got to him. After staying silent for a few seconds, Kurt finally took the medicine from her hand.
When Lucy felt his icy cold fingertips on her palm, she could not help but shudder.
That old b*stard!
After taking the pills, Kurt’s breathing gradually went back to normal. The pain in his face had also clearly dissipated.
As soon as he got better, she quickly lit the candle, and there was light at last.
There were electric lights in Agarwood Pavilion.
However, given the fact that it was already very late into the night, a bright light would certainly arouse suspicion.
Lucy returned to the bedside.
“Prince Kurt, are you feeling better now? Should I get you some water?”
“All right.”
Lucy was thrilled. She turned around and poured him a glass of water.
In truth, ever since both of them had regained consciousness, she had been serving Kurt. Hence, there was nothing wrong with her doing any of those chores for him.
Without any delay, Lucy went to fetch a basin of hot water and proceeded to wipe the young prince down. She then helped him change into a new set of clothes.
After that, she asked with her head bowed, “Prince Kurt, did you have another conflict with the king today?”
She still wanted to know the answer to her question.
Since he had only taken his medicine two days ago, it was impossible for him to have another relapse unless something had upset him tremendously. That was the effect of those worms on his body.
Kurt said nothing. However, he looked grim.
Lucy understood.
“I knew it. It’s because of the foreign business issues, isn’t it? I told you before. In this backward tribe, people may not appreciate what you have done for them. The same goes for the king. If anything goes wrong, you’re the one who gets blamed for it!”
“You seem to be very familiar with this area. Aren’t you being fed the worm just like me?”
Kurt’s sudden hostility took her aback.
Lucy looked up and saw his narrow eyes staring at her coldly. She felt a chill down her spine and quickly stood up.
“I-I have been observing them for quite a while now. It isn’t difficult to notice such things.”
“Really?”
“Yes, Prince Kurt. You hardly step out of here. Every day, you’re forced to stay in Agarwood Pavilion and study hard in order to take over the throne in the future. I’m only an attendant, so I get to go out frequently. As such, I get to see more than you do,” explained Lucy in a hurry.
She was worried that he might become suspicious.
Thankfully, Kurt did not question her further after her clarification.
Once Lucy got out of Agarwood Pavilion, she let out a long sigh of relief. At one point, she had been so nervous that her legs had gone soft.
That was so close!
Luckily, I’m smart enough.
Then again, this is all because of Vivian Hayes. It will be good if she can just disappear from here.
Lucy held on to the pillar next to her. When she thought of Vivian, who had ruined things for her repeatedly, a murderous look flashed across her eyes.
