"Madam was eating, but just a few mouthfuls he had spewed out. Madam, so weak now..." Zeta's disclaimer is not exaggerating at all. Annette could feel how weak her body was right now. If only the two men had not come holding both of his arms, it seemed that he had actually fallen to the floor by now.
Egbert looked at Annette's face. In addition to how pale it was, he could see a trace of exhaustion clearly imprinted on the look of his tyrannical face. It seemed like the girl was already very overwhelmed spewing out the contents in her stomach from morning to night.
The girl looked really tormented because of that.
Egbert took a few steps towards them. Then without a word, he pulled the thin body of Annette that was as light as cotton from Micah and Zeta's support, then carried her gently into his arms.
"I'll take care of it" Egbert told Micah and Zeta.
Only the two maids were still unmoved in their standing positions while staring at Annette anxiously. Though they clearly caught Egbert's signal telling them to hurry away, but they couldn't bear to let Annette off just like that to their cold and indifferent master.
"Go!" Egbert finally voiced his word.
"Okay sir" The two were no longer helpless to refute and walked away leaving the couple.
Annette felt her body as light as a kite, her face resting weakly on Egbert's sturdy field chest. Having both her legs soar into the air, Annette was unaware of when the man was holding her and had taken her to the room.
He blinked his eyelids weakly realizing his body was already lying on the bed. At that moment he heard a cold voice that was no longer unfamiliar talking to someone.
"Is there no way to deal with her nausea?" Ask Egbert. As soon as he laid Annette on the bed, he told Mary to call Robbin to come to the room.
"If she keeps spewing out her guts like this she won't have enough energy to contain" Egbert still remembered how light Annette's body was when she held her earlier. It was as if it was a thin piece of paper that he could swing easily into the air.
"I'll check on her for a bit" After saying that, Robbin walked up to the bed and grabbed Annette's wrist. Then her thumb pressed right on the girl's pulse feeling her pulse was quite weak.
He is a doctor who has lived for hundreds of centuries. Before technological advances developed in his nation, the basic matters of examination could only rely on the calculation of the pulse. Someone experienced like him, of course, has been very expert about it. It just takes precision and thought, he began to diagnose while continuing to make sure the pulse is pulsating under his thumb.
After checking and making sure once again the results, Robbin then put Annette's hand gently into the mattress and he walked up to Egbert to explain the results of the examination.
"In human girls who are pregnant, in their bodies there is the name of the hormone HCG, which is the increased hormone, the greater the nausea and vomiting occur. But after what I checked, the biggest trigger factor for your wife who constantly nausea and vomiting all day, it was none other than the baby's birth in her stomach"
Despite being weak, Annette's eyelashes flickered faintly when she heard the doctor refer to her by the word 'your wife'. His heart rippled as if his status was recognized.
"Your wife is human and the baby she contains is a vampire. From this difference alone it is clear that so many complications occur in addition to the risks I mentioned earlier" explained Robbin. At a glance the corner of his eyes glanced at the weakly lying Annete with deathly pale lips.
He felt sorry for the young girl who had to suffer so much because she contained something that was not supposed to be in her bladder as a human girl.
"I predict your wife's nausea will never end until the baby is born. That's because the baby it contains strongly rejects the intake of human food consumed by the mother"
"Is there no specific drug that can reduce nausea?" Ask Egbert. His calm expression that was not rippling at all did not leave a trace of concern. But at first glance small worries for fear of his grand plan being interrupted.
"So far there isn't" Robbin shook his head. "I do know a little about human physiology, but that's it, nothing more"
"The only way we can do that is to let your wife consume animal blood like ours"
The entire nerve cell in Annette's body instantly stiffened upon hearing that. Is that true? Animal blood?
After saying this, Robbin was excused to return to his room to go to rest. Egbert was sitting next to Annette lying down.
"Is there really no other way?" Annette's voice sounded weak. The look in his eyes that looked haggard turned to Egbert.
"For the time being this is the only way" Egbert replied.
After saying that, Egbert went to lie down right next to Annette. Her big arms pulled Annette's skinny body to her side and then she pulled the blanket.
Annette did not rebel, choosing to lie comfortably in the man's support. It didn't take long for her eyelids to tighten and she fell asleep.
Egbert momentarily noticed Annette who was already fast asleep by his side. Every time his gaze fell on Annette's deathly pale lips, he held himself as hard as possible so as not to lose control to bite her.
Though in his heart he kept wondering, what would it be like? Are same?
Until the morning came to welcome the couple who were still sleeping together. A glance of sunlight that pierced through the curtains of the room, did not bother the two from waking up at all.
Out there Mary stood at the door preventing Zeta and Micah from entering.
"Mr and madam are still not awake"
The statement made Micah and Zeta look at each other, "What?"
"Mr Egbert is still lying inside with the madam?"
"Shuhh, watch your voices" Mary said.
Micah and Zeta continued to pry their lips together.
"Right" Nodded Mary, "Master hasn't left the mistress' room since last night" Mary explained.
Micah and Zeta exchanged glances. It is very rare to happen. Because usually their master will always leave Annette's room even before dawn. But this...
Annette frowned and slowly raised her eyelids. The first sight that greeted his retina was the handsome face of Egbert. Just like his hands were stretched out upwards and his fingers landed on that sharp contoured face.
"You awake?"
The cold voice managed to make Annette's entire body freeze for a moment.
