Hazel fluttered her eyes as the rays of morning sun started to dance on her face.
She could hear the sound of humming a song in the distance and wondered which maid was bold enough to sing in her room.
Just as she opened her eyes, she felt a strong pain and covered her eyes and forehead.
The maid who was arranging flowers in the room turned to look at her when she heard the sound and her eyes widened.
“Oh lord, the lady is awake!” she shouted as she ran out of the room with hasty steps.
With furrowed brows hazel looked at the woman who was behaving strangely as her eyes finally adjusted to the light.
Leaning on the headrest, she tried to sit up when she felt her throat had parched dry as if it had been ages since she had last drank water..
Before she could call a maid for water, she saw a lot of maids and knights entering the room and frowned.
“What.. What is cough cough happening here?” She rubbed her throat as she felt she was not able to speak properly.
But before any of them would reply she heard the sound of footsteps again and was surprised to see Rafael entering her room.
His eyes t hers, and she blinked thinking that she had seen wrong. Instead of an annoying smile or evil look there was worry in his eyes.
“So you are finally awake! I have thought that you have turned into a sleeping beauty after the incident!” though he was passing a sarcastic remark she could see how he was scanning her body to make sure that she was fine.
But wait! What did he an! Looking at the look of confusion in her eyes, he raised a brow with wonder.
“So you don’t even know that you are sleeping for three days?” A look of astonishnt filled her as she opened her mouth to speak but only coughed and winched when he shook his head.
“What are you getting so agitated for? A girl should take her rest to look beautiful all the ti.“ Without waiting for any maid to serve her, Rafael walked towards the table and picked up a glass of water from there stunning all the maids.
All the maids sucked in deep breath as they were sure they were going to lose their life for the felony, they have let their masters work in their presence.
But without sparing them a glance, Rafael walked towards his wife and passed her the glass who took it gratefully.
Drinking all the contents in a single gulp, she coughed again but felt much better.
“What happened to you?” he asked only for her to shake her head in reply.
“You should take more care of yourself. When i brought you in, the physicians even said that they can not feel your vital points.” he added but she really did not feel like she was sleeping.
She felt like she was sowhere else. She tried to press her head on her forehead and rember where she was and what she was doing but mories were so hazy that she was not able to make anything out of it.
Her body started to sweat profusely and her breathing turned uneven making his eyes widened as he walked closer and sat beside her.
“What are you thinking about? You are not well so you should not take so much pressure.” moving his hands towards her back, he started to rub it gently as if he was trying to sooth a kid.
Though as a cold being, he had always found her touch as warm but right now, Her body was burning hot as if a re touch would scald him.
“Go and call that damn physician again!” The voice was so low that it sounded like it ca from the Netherlands, making all the servants stand on their toes as they ran to call for the physician when he looked at her with worry.
“What is worrying you?” there was no way that her body would react that way without any reason.
He had checked again and again but he did not find any reason for her to behave that way.
Could it be that the witch had cursed her before he had reached the carriage.
Was the witch trying to tell her about the curse she had put on hazel? And here he thought that she was going to tell that Hazel was the one he was looking for!
A look of disappointnt filled him before he shook his head.
“I will order sothing light for you. Eat and take a rest. Do not think too much that you will get sick.” leaving the still withering girl, he stood up abruptly and left the room making her confused as she turned her head to look at his leaving figure.
A tinge of hurt filled her eyes before a mocking smile ford her lips, what was she even expecting? He had already told her that he did not love her. If she was still lingering on her past feelings that she was a fool and it was not his mistake.
It was already enough that he had co to et her with a worried look and took care of her when she was sick. She should not expect more than that.
“My lady, the physician is here to check up on you.” Hazel nodded her head as the maid returned with an old man with wrinkles on his head and most of his hair had turned white.
He walked slowly towards her and held her hands to check her pulse. Then he checked her eyes and a few more things before shaking his head.
“Your life energy seems to be decreasing, my lady. If you are worried about sothing, you should not as it is hurting your body.
I will suggest that you take a rest and calm yourself, Lady Isabella, before you get further sick!” she nodded her head but then her eyes widened as she snapped her head to look at him,
“What did you say?”
