Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
34. Mentally Damaged

Roxanne was a little incredulous at the drug's effects. He did not know how long the cure would work and whether Elios should be given the same amount or improved.

He said it was drugs, right? Then there will be a time when Elios needs higher and higher doses.

Of course, before that ... Roxanne will be Eirene's ghost.

After saying he was not angry, Elios immediately slept soundly hugging him. Roxanne doesn't even believe she's lying in Elios' bed.

Even if Elios is restrained for a month, the Graean really keeps this bed smelling refreshing.

"Elios."

Suddenly, the door of the room opened and the figure of the Great Mistress came in haste.

Roxanne was a little panicked about the situation, but she tried to look calm. Now Roxanne is the party that was forced.

Everyone should think so.

"Elios." It seems Graean had spoken to his mother Elios so much that he did not dispute Roxanne's whereabouts.

The woman just came closer, kneeling beside the bed.

"Elios, this is Mother. Elios."

Elios wriggling interrupted. Slowly getting up from his lying position, holding his forehead a sign he was still having a headache.

Again, Roxanne is on alert if Elios is already unaffected by the drug.

"Mother." Elios murmured lowly. "What's wrong?"

Before you can say anything, a hug is given first. Roxanne watched in silence, only to feel like a bully as her mother Elios cried.

"You're fine" his mother murmured. "You're fine, Naughty Child. Mother was very worried."

Elios smiled gently. "Mothers are too easily worried. I'm an adult. No need to think about me too much."

"Which adult child makes his mother cry all the time."

It seems that the effect of the medicine is gone. Then Roxanne has to leave before Elios realizes it.

As slow as Roxanne may be, get out of bed to go to her room. But ....

"Eri."

Not only Roxanne, the Great Mistress froze as well.

"Eri, where do you want to go? You still have to rest. Your fever's been high since yesterday."

Roxanne turned around without being able to hide her astonished look. And even more unbelievable, Elios smiled sweetly at her.

"Dries. Don't wander around or Mother tells you to drink ginger again."

Her mother's eyelids were shaking looking at Elios. "Elios, you—"

"Hm?" Elios' eyes opened wide and smiled warmly at his mother. "Mother, Eri had a high fever last night until I could feel it too. Mommy should take care of Eri. Young Miss Narendra must not be sick often."

"Elios, but .. but ...."

"What's wrong?" Elios' warm expression seemed to be suddenly frozen by the falling snow mountain. "Why is my mother crying? I told you Eri had a fever."

This man .. no, not just Elios. Arkas, the man too, knows that Elios' mentality has been completely damaged by Eirene's death and he gives her a trigger to get more damaged.

Roxanne was suddenly cold. Even though he who decided to be here went through all this, it still all felt cold suffocating.

"Right." The Grand Madam smiled forcefully. "You are always connected. If Irene was sick, Elios would have been sick too. Mother's child is a hassle."

Elios smiled warmly again. "Don't force Eri to drink ginger again, Mother. Just give him what he wants."

"certain. Of course."

The Great Mistress kissed the side of Elios' face before moving on, going over to Roxanne. At that moment, he quietly whispered.

"According to Elios' will. Pretend to be sick or whatever. I'll give you compensation later."

And that makes him so does Roxanne.

I'm a disgusting woman.

Roxanne smiled wryly within him, but without any expression on the outside. He returns to Elios' bed, lies down and plays his role as a sick doll.

"Eri, my head still hurts." Elios touches Roxanne's forehead very carefully, of course while thinking she is Eirene. "Your head must be very sore right now. Sleep first. Mother will call doctor Cintya."

Madam Narendra could only look at that in silence.

As his mother, he was certainly one of the least able to accept Eirene's death. But, Elios from the beginning damaged himself for not accepting at all.

"Ohya, Elios. Mother took someone with her mother."

Almost at the same time, there was a sound of screaming.

"Sister!"
