I marry the mother of Hero

Chapter 2: I'm sorry I'm late

At afternoon

~ knock knock knock 

"Madam head maid! It's me rose. May I come in. I have something to report about lord Hunter"

A person in maid uniform, with crimson red eyes and short black hair is standing in front of a head maid office door.

"Come in rose"

"I shall,Thank you"

~Creak open ~ thump close

A woman in her fifties, with blue eyes and chestnut colored hair, is sitting in front of a desk with documents in front of her.

"What did that boy do now?"

"Madam! He has been refusing to come out of his room since morning. He also didn't ate his food and medicine"

"What? What happened? Is he still in his room? Why didn't you try to enter there"

Rose squeezes her right hand showing a scar. Marisa remembers Rose has a fear of disobeying Hunter. 

'It happened such a long time ago. They were partially kids at that time. I thought she would be over with it by now.'

~Sigh.....

~ Rose flinch....

"I will talk to him, make sure not to report to the duchess."

"Yes madam! I will take my leave"

Marisa left her office and on her way to Hunter's bedroom, she remembers the days of her babysitting all the Twins and Hunter.

' He was such a bright child. I don't know what went wrong and when. But now he is not only a troublemaker and has a mean personality. He is now nothing but a selfish eccentric sick brat. I failed my job big time.I don't know what the Duke is even thinking about it"

~ Knock knock

"Lord! It's Marisa. I'm coming in"

She took out her keys and opened the door. To her surprise, the room is clean. No broken pieces of glass or shattered utensils. She only found a young lord sleeping on his bed.

'Look at him. Sleeping where we are working our ass off for the upcoming family annual Ball party. And only three days are left. I need to finish this problem quickly.'

As she placed her hand on his forehead. She found out he was burning hot.

"Heeeey! Is someone out there? Call the family doctor real quick." 

'OH god! please be okay. Don't die on me.'

After some time. Doctor comes out of the Hunter's room where he meets with Marisa and a young maid with light blue hairs and blue eyes.

"He is stable right now. There is no need to worry. It seems he missed both doses of medicine in a row. He is sleeping right now. Give him some time to recover. He will be good for the ball party."

"Great. That's good news. He made me worried sick right there. I will show you the way out. Sky, stay beside the young lord for now. He is in sleep right now, make sure not to wake him up"

"Yes madam"

Both the head maid and Doctor left and Sky entered the room and sat on the stool beside the bed.

As she sat down, she heard the young lord sleep talking repeating the same words.

"I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!"

It seems he is having nightmares but 

Sky as soon as she understood the words, a tear fell down from her right eye. She quickly wipes it down and grabs his left hand which is shivering intensely, stop to halt.

" I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't here before. And I can only do this for you. I'm sorry. I'm......... really."

'I wish I was here for you before'

Sky sit beside him while holding his hands all night.
