I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 162's

The room gradually calmed down after everyone's departure and left only the nuclear family still living in the leathina room accompanying her to keep an eye on Leathina's condition.

Only duke leonard, Duchess nice, nicholas, nora and anne remain. Leathina stared awkwardly looking at everyone, she was confused as to what to say to greet them all.

“Anne prepare food for Leathina.” Said the Duchess, asking Anne to prepare a meal for Leathina.

“Good Madam,” replied Anne and immediately went out to the kitchen and asked the kitchen person to immediately prepare food for Leathina.

“Nona is awake?” ask people with hope.

Anne took a deep breath and then remained silent for a while.

“Hais, very long time. Don't make things worse Anne, I don't want the mansion to be gloomy for much longer.” Said the head chef who emerged from behind the food storage room with some groceries and would cook it as Anne asked.

“Nona Leathina is awake.” Anne replied in the end, not wanting to make them curious any longer.

“Yes, god thank God.” The servants answered almost simultaneously.

“Wait a minute things will be better than before.” Said another waiter.

“You mean, waiting for the situation to come back as bleak as before? Why did you forget how he used to treat you!” said a flier who spoke while peeling a bucket of potatoes in the corner.

“What the hell is wrong with you. Denying Anne was upset with him then immediately sat down waiting for the cooking cooked by the head chef to be able to immediately bring it to Leathina in warm conditions.

“Do not care, he may still be vengeful.” The whisper of one of the servants then pointed to his own face as if to show Anne something.

Anne understood and nodded, but she still buckled her face in annoyance with the servant's words. She is a servant who holds a grudge against Leathina because Leathina made her face damaged by splashing hot water on her, no one dared to contradict his words or rebuke him for being concerned about him because he had worked for so long and had been a senior servant working for the Yarnell family. Most of the old maids didn't like Leathina very much.

...

“Acuh!” suddenly Leathina sneezed.

“You must be cold.” Said the duke while warming Leathina's body with a blanket.

“Is anyone talking about me now?” inner Leathina after sneezing, because her feelings are now very good except to feel very weak from hunger.

“Leathina is your body really okay?” ask the Duchess who is still worried.

“I'm fine.” Leathina replied with a smile to reduce everyone's worries, Leathina should be more tired if constantly asked the same thing repeatedly.

“Next time brother do not let people to kiss the back of your hand, brother will later feel scratchy and will cause allergies.” Nora's words commemorate Leathina.

“But wouldn't it be disrespectful, people would probably think I was never taught tatakrama.” Leathina told Nora.

“Ka-then, don't let them linger holding your hand.”

“Alright, I'll do.”

“Call me Nico, Nicholas is too long you might get tired.” Nicholas said and sat down on the side of the bed, folding his hands against his chest.

“But notkha you said I wasn't allowed to call you by that name.”

“I didn't mean to say it like that back then, I just didn't want a lot of people calling me that."

“Ba-well if that's what you want n-nico.”

Nicholas smiled with satisfaction as Leathina called him Nico.

“I know now he likes me to make fun of me calling him by his familiar name, but my tongue is too stiff to call him by the name of nico because from the beginning I did call him Nicholas. Moreover, his attitude that changed drastically made me feel even more strange around him he was like not Nicholas alone.” Inner Leathina when she saw the change in behavior patterns and attitudes of Nicholas who now turned to be more gentle to her.

It felt strange for Leathina to see Nicholas acting soft on her because all this time she was shouting and yelling at him when talking to him.

“Nicholas, Nora, go back let Leathina rest her body condition is still very bad.” Duchess Nice asked Nora and Nicholas to come out so as not to bother Leathina again.

“I will also come out, rest.” The Duchess then followed Nicholas and Nora who had come out first.

“A-dad, Is there anything you want to tell me?” leathina asked the duke of leonard as he kept looking at her.

“I just want to see you.”

“Dad can see me anything, so don't look at me as if I'm going to disappear. The way my father looked at me was like someone who was remembering something that would be lost.” Leathina still feels awkward being familiar with her family, but even so Leathina still tries to get used to her because she does not want to live in the barriers of a complicated relationship.

“Daddy did you get hurt?” leathina asked when she suggested that there was a blood patch on the duke leonard's clothes.

“Ah, earlier there were some things that I had to handle and accidentally exposed to red ink.” Duke Leonard was evasive, not informing Leathina of the condition of the family accused of being rebels now.

“Whoever sees it will surely know that it is blood.” Inner Leathina again observed the red patches on her father's clothes, she also saw some spots still stuck on her sword. “Did he end up fighting someone?” he asked but then his attention was aroused when he saw his father's face that seemed to be shrinking from the last time he saw it.

The duke's face was very thin and around his eyes blackened, the duke also looked very lethargic. “The person to worry about here is not me, but you.” Inner Leathina looked at the condition of duke leonard who looked so bad.

“So like that, then dad also be immune and rest. Looks like dad looks really exhausted.” Leathina asked her father to rest immediately before falling ill from exhaustion and too much thought.

“Alright then I'll go, rest well Leathina. Wait for Anne she'll bring you some food soon.” Duke Leonard gently rubbed Leathina's head then immediately walked out.

“Good dad, tiamakasih.” Leathina answered, letting go of her father.

“Ah, finally calm down too.” Murmuring Leathina softly and then back to lying down, Leathina several times sighed panjag for thinking about what she would do next.

“Duke leonard looks very tired, and one that might make him tired is because it worries me.” His mumbling was slow and he heaved a heavy sigh again.

“What now will everything be fine? Much has changed now but I will not necessarily survive the fate that binds me.” Leathina muttered then went back to breathing for the umpteenth time.
