Chapter 83 - Sick Visit

...

<POV: Carene>

Luckily I found her right away as she was busy in the Kitchen.

"Celesta. Good morning.. Sorry that I couldn't get up earlier to help. What can I do for now? I will do my best to do it!"

Celesta smiled beautifully upon seeing me, but shook her head lightly in denial upon hearing my words as she replied,

"Good morning to you too, Carene. Don't worry about this though. I am right here to manage these things for now. Besides, I don't get many chances to do this due to the Council work. Just take a seat in the Dining room and wait for a bit. Jorah should be there too. The breakfast should be ready in a minute."

Celesta's hand-cooked meal? Now that's something I would love to have. But, to get so busy early in the morning... especially after such a busy day yesterday, I wonder how Celesta is able to do all that by herself. Is she hiding her superpowers or something?

Nah, just kidding. But, I kind of want to help her out too...

"Ah... but, aren't you preparing too much for just breakfast?"

That was what felt weird to me, as there was no way such a large amount could be finished by everyone even if they go all out in the morning.

At my curious query, Celesta smiled mysteriously as she spoke again,

"Hmm? Ah, this... it's a secret~~"

Is that so??� Well, if that's what makes her happy, then so be it. Seeing Celesta's busy back figure early in the morning gave me a delusion, as if... we were a married couple and she was lovingly preparing breakfast for our family.

Although I did my best not to imagine too much, the warm and homely feeling the delusion gave me kept on lingering within me for a long time.

And it was then that I remembered about the lonely girl from yesterday. Remembering my first objective for the day, I decided to ask Celesta about it.

"I see... by the way, Celesta. About my friend Nihara, the girl that you rescued yesterday... do you remember which hospital she was admitted to?"

Celesta turned to look at me once as she tried to remember yesterday's events. Soon, she replied to me casually,

"Nihara... I remember. It should be the Cantt. Hospital. Although I wanted a more specialized one, she herself requested to go there."

Cantt. Hospital... that's where the lower income families usually go for cheap treatment. To think that Nihara chose to go there even when the expenses could be covered...

"Ah, thanks for telling me. I was thinking of visiting her today at the beginning of the visiting hours."

As I asked Celesta in a mild manner, I hoped deep inside that she wouldn't reject my proposal this time. In a way, I didn't want to disturb any special plans Celesta had for the day.

"That's fine. You can do as you wish, Carene. But, remember to come home early today, okay? Possibly by Nine-thirty. I would be mad at you if you came back late though."

Ah, thank goodness she agreed. Celesta doesn't appear to be that angry at me anymore. It's just that... yesterday she had been pretty weird, especially after the violent incident from yesterday.

Hopefully her mood would stay that good the entire day too.

Feeling a bit guilty to let Celesta work hard all by herself, I decided to offer her my help.
