Unexpected reunion pt.2

[Y/N]= your Name

Third Person POV

Few days later ~

It was 7 p.m.
" Ay, no llores.*..." Carla tried to comfort [Y/N], who was devastated by king's decision. He said they're going to send her back, but didn't give any reason! How was she supposed to know...?
" I don't understand! What did I do?!"
Just as she screamed those words, the door opened and the queen of Spain stood there. She was in distress." Carla! Call a doctor! Gonzalo is ill!
" Dios mio!* " The servant cried out.
" Don't just stand there! He can bearly breathe!" After [Y/N] heard that, her eyes wided. " Does he have a fever?!" She cut in.
" Yes! Don't bother!" The queen said to her a little rudely. The girl however let it slide. " Can I see him?"
" Absolutely not!"
" I might know how to help..." The woman shook her head helplessly.
" Come..." Before  [Y/N] followed Victoria Eugenia, she turned to the lady-in-waiting. " Carla, remember that package I received a week ago? There is a small glass bottle inside. It's epicac. Give it to me, quickly." Young woman did as she was told and then all of them left the room.
" What's that for.. ?! " The queen was confused.
" If it's what I think it is, this will help him!" [Y/N] answered, rushing through the hallway side by side with the woman.

As they arrived in Gonzalo's room, [Y/N]'s suspicion turned out to be true.
" Croup..." She mumbled.
" What?!"
" He's in bad state, but could have been worse. Much worse."
" What do we do?! " Some another maid asked.
" Carla went to find doctor. But there's still something we can do. And I know what. But you have to trust me."
The palace staff and the queen looked at each other. Was it good to trust 11 years old child with something like that?
....
" We listen."
" I suppose you have stoves here?
" Yes. There's one in one of living rooms...." One of the maids said.
" It will be better if he is there." [Y/N] nodded at the maids. " Fill the pots with water and let it boil, here on the stove. The air is too dry here. And this clothing is a little too tight. We should unbutton it. It will be easier for him to breathe."
The maids looked at her slightly shocked, but followed the instructions.

Already in living room,[Y/N] just gave to Gonzalo the first spoon of medicine. " Good boy..." She whispered. Victoria Eugenia looked at her in disbelief. " How do you know all this...?"
" Back in 1914, I got shot..."
"You what...?!"
" Long story...." While talking she didn't stop to watch over the toddler. She made him swallow another spoon of epicac. " I was taken to certain village doctor. He helped a lot of people... Healed a lot of  wounds and illnesses, including croup. After he helped me, I arrived few times to a check.... Margarita, for God's sake! Open the window for a minute, it's getting too hot here!" She stopped her tale turning to the maid, who obeyed immediately. Then the girl continued.
" I'm curious person, so I asked him how he does that.  He told me how to handle, croup, pneumonia and such..."

Now it was 2 in the morning. Finally, the doctor arrived. Why so late? Well, most of the doctors were out of the city, because they were at there families' for Christmas yet , so it was much harder to find one.

The doctor checked on Gonzalo, who was sound asleep. All the maids, Victoria Eugenia and [Y/N] waited for the news...
" He's quite all right. Just let him sleep. He'll be fine, when he wakes up." The man said with a smile.

" It's thanks to Miss [Y/N]."
" Yes. She gave him the medicine." Two of the maids explained. The girl looked shyly at the doctor.
" You did this ,young lady?" She gave the bottle, wich was half-empty now, to the man. " I gave him this."
