Reincarnated As Conny (HIATUS)

Chapter 18: Delayed

"Emma?" 

I said when I saw an orange-haired girl. There was confusion on her face. She took few steps before handing me my stuffed toy. "Hi Conny," She said while glancing at me. A smile appeared on her face before lifting me in her arms. "Let's go? Mom is looking for you!"

Oh, Mom's looking for me?

I softly nodded my head as I hugged my bunny.

I rested my head on Emma's shoulders while thinking about that little brat. I wonder what's bothering him? I don't care if he is a spy since I know it from the beginning. What was bothering me the most is if Mom told him something that made him act like that. 

I don't want to question him now because I wanted him to tell it himself.

"Conny?" Emma called my name. My lips parted when I noticed that there were changes in her breathing. I raised my little head to look at her. Emma wanted to ask something... "Do you still want Ray to read your books?" She asked me.

I stared at her for a moment, something's wrong with her tone. I softly nodded my head in her question. "U-huh..."

"About prince and princesses?" She asked me again. "Every time you have bad dreams?"

"Yes...?" I said with a hesitant tone. "Why do you ask, Emma?" I tilted my head.

Emma only let out a smile as she patted my head. She hugged me tightly before saying the word "Nothing," to me. I lowered my head while resting at Emma's shoulder. I bit my lips softly before closing my eyes.

Did she hear my conversation with Ray? or Norman hinted something at her?

When we reached our destination, My eyes immediately fell on Mom who was currently nursing Norman. When she glanced in our direction, she immediately smiled at us. "Hello my little darlings," she said. "Wait outside for a bit, you might get a fever as well."

Emma and I glanced at each other before glancing at Norman.

"Okay, Mom!" We said in unison.

Emma waved at Norman energetically as we leave. "Rest well, Norman," Emma told him. Norman smiled at her as we go outside.

I jumped to the ground while hugging my bunny. "Will Norman get better tomorrow?" I asked while tilting my head. "Don told me that he only has a low fever..."  Emma went in a daze while looking at me. A smile appeared on her face.

"Of course!" She said. "Norman will probably get better tomorrow," She said in a cheerful tone. "Norman does have a weak body, but I know that he will get better."

"Okay! I believe in Emma!" I said.

However.

Things didn't go smoothly for her.

"MOM! MOM!" Emma shouted while running in Mom's direction. I who was being carried by Mom glanced at Emma's worn-out face. She was drenched in sweat and she looks worried about something. "Mom..." She uttered. "Norman..."
