The Duke's Substitute Wife
The arrival of Lusia

"Miss, outside there's a woman who wants to meet the lady." Said a waiter.

Abella raises one of her eyebrows, "A woman." Mumbled Abella. He stepped outside, wanting to meet the woman. As he remembered, he had no girlfriend except for a girl who had helped him when he came out on his wedding day.

If only he hadn't done that. Maybe now he'll live happily. Regrets are always behind.

"Lusia," Abella smiled, she hugged the girl in front of her. He recalled, once saying Lucia would he bring his residence after his affairs were completed. The girl who had helped him and lived in a forest. Lucia lives alone, her parents have died.

"Sister, I'm looking for you. I miss you. It turns out you're the lady of the famous Duke Arland noble." The little girl showed a happy smile.

"You better rest first. Clean your body first. We'll have a chat in a minute."

"Servant, prepare a room for her." Shouted Abella as she looked at her two servants.

The maid also led Lucia to a room dedicated to guests.

"Lussia," as fast as lightning his brain whirled around giving a brilliant idea. If the Marquess could not help him, he would take advantage of Lucia. He just spun silly facts. Lucia is a very innocent person, she can be fooled and lied to.

"Why are you smiling?" ask Ferland. He was suspicious of his smile.

"Ah no, I'm happy. The girl who helped me came here. I intend to make him stay here for the next few days until I can find a place to live that is kayak for him." Abella.

Ferland frowned, "Did you forget, the Duke family has never lacked lodging. You'd better give him a decent place to live and yes, he can stay here with Dad's permission. Where's Mommy?" He did not see Duchess Eliana this day.

"I didn't see it either,"

Ferland panicked and ran upstairs to his mother's room.

"Mother," Ferland immediately opened the door. Fortunately not in the key. So he easily barged in.

"Mother," she saw Duchess Eliana lying weakly with a pale face. "Hurry and call the doctor" cried Ferland.

Abella clasped Duchess Eliana's hand and her body was very hot. He ran downstairs, fetching water to compress the mother. Abella returned with a basin of water

A few minutes later.

Specialized doctors for the Duke Arland family came. She examined the body of Duchess Eliana. "It looks like he's having a shock. To cause fever. It's best that young master and miss should take care of the Duchess so as not to think too hard." Obviously the Doctor.

Duchess Eliana inching, "I'm fine." His word.

"Mrs don't have to think too hard." Timpal the Doctor.

Duchess Eliana smiled behind her aunt, "Go, I need some time with my son and my daughter." His word.

"Well, I'll give you some prescription drugs to bring down the Duchess' fever." The doctor said, saluting. The recipe will go to Duchess Eliana's personal servant.

"Mother" said Abella. He felt how cold the white palm of his mother's hand was.

"I'm fine Abella. Where's your dad?"

Abella and Ferland look at each other, he does not know the whereabouts of the father. Duchess Eliana smiled, knowing that Duke Arland was out. Maybe spend some time with Viola. What more if Baroness Lilliana came, he was sure Duke Arland would spend more time.

About Viola, some days he missed his little girl. "Ferland, Abella can you take Viola. I miss her so much."

"Why are you looking for her?" abella asked, releasing her mother's hand. "Because he and his mother, father and mother should be like this. No mother and son both like to ruin relationships."

"Abella," joked Duchess Eliana. "She's my daughter, you don't have the right to vilify her."

"Conscious mother, she's someone else."

"He was someone else, but I loved him not because of Viola but because his heart made me feel comfortable and did not want to lose him. You are also my daughter, please don't make her feel uncomfortable."

"My mother's son is not her."

Duchess Eliana held her head that felt dizzy. "Abella stop it !"

Abella turned her face away with a feeling of annoyance.

"Mother I'll bring sister, so mother calm down and mother should get well soon. I'm sure you'll be sad to see your mother like this." The words of Ferland appease Duchess Eliana.

Abella who was feeling careless, she just left. Arriving at the doorway, he saw Liera. Then continued his footsteps.
