How To Get My Husband On My Side

Chapter 12

Confusion filled me.

No... Wait... Don't tell me I was having a runny nose like a damn embarrassment in front of my husband's friend-oh, thank God, it wasn't actually a runny nose. The liquid dripping down my chin was red.

It wasn't snot, but a nosebleed-wait, a nosebleed?!

Even if I was in bad shape because of my yearly illness, something like this had never happened before. "Oh..."

"My Lady, are you all right?"

No, I'm so confused that I don't know what to do.

Just as I was acting like some half-witted fan, I had to show them this sorry sight. I tried to stem the blood flow with my hands, but my head was spinning. I lost my footing and stumbled backwards, but someone quickly caught me.

"You..." Izek was fast in stretching out his arms to prevent me from falling. He suddenly paused. I didn't think he could furrow his brows more than he was already doing, but he did.

Look, you stubborn bastard, I'm fine with your rude behavior, but there's no way I did this on purpose.

"Why are you so hot?"

Huh? Hot? Me? That can't be true.

No doctor ever could figure out what was wrong with me when these mysterious symptoms acted up. I felt this pain twice a year, but the burning heat seemed to be so much worse than previous years. This was also the first time that I had a nosebleed.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show you this appearance-"

Izek cut me off, in spite of my embarrassment. His red eyes glowed with something unfamiliar, something I'd never seen before. "Who did you come here with?"

"O-Of course, I came alone..."

"I'm really about to go crazy." It looked as if he couldn't believe his own ears. "You mean to tell me you came out here all alone while you're in this state?"

The vertigo got worse because my body was lifted into the air. Izek had put his hand around my waist and was hugging me tightly, like he was carrying some kind of sack. I wondered if a mouse captured in an eagle's claw would have felt the same way as I was feeling right now.

I wanted to tell him to put me down, but I held it in because I thought he'd just cruelly drop me on the hard ground.

Sir Ivan's light-green eyes looked very serious as he hurriedly searched his pockets. "My Lady, did anyone call for a doctor?"

No one would have called for one even if I had asked.

"It's not something worth calling the doctor for. I'm sorry, the sunlight was just so bright that I became dizzy..."

"Ivan, give me your handkerchief."

"Which one?"

"It doesn't matter. Damn it, she's burning up."

"No shit... I'm sorry, My Lady. Hey! How long has she been living in your house? Does it make any sense that nobody knew about her condition?!"

It did make sense. This illness was unusual and no doctor could diagnose the symptoms. Even the most renowned physicians called upon by the Holy Pope thought that it was just a side effect of overworking my body. But right now... My husband was telling me that I was as hot as a boiling pot? Even wiping the blood off of my face for me...

It was both confusing and fascinating.

My head spun madly. My vision faded and my body soon grew limp in Izek's arms.
