Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 281

Sebastian was summoned immediately. After examining Ryan, he praised Rowan’s diligent efforts in helping the boy recover.

He then tapped Ryan’s little nose and said, “Well done, kid. You’ve really got some talent. This old man thought it would take at least a year and a half for you to recover.”

*But didn’t you mention he needed to expel the poison before he could speak?” Carissa asked quickly.

“That’s not anabsolute requirement,” Sebastian replied,

“Looking at Ryan now, the toxins in his body are nearly cleared. It’s just that after two years of silence, speaking might be a bit challenging. Additionally, his throat has been subjected to acupuncture, which has caused some damage and pain. With time, everything will improve.”

Everyone nodded and exchanged smiles. Previously, everyone was anxiously waiting to see if Ryan would need to expel the black blood, but it turned out that it wasn’t necessary.

Sebastian’s medical skills were indeed somewhat unpredictable.

Carissa bowed deeply to Sebastian. “Ryan should be the one bowing to you, but his legs are not yet strong. Once he’s fully recovered, he will definitely bow to you properly.”

Sebastian accepted the gesture. “Alright, get up. Since you’ve bowed, you don’t need to pay the medical fees.”

Rowan had always told Sebastian that Carissa insisted on paying the medical fees, and his apprentice’s constant reminder had annoyed him greatly.

Carissa was about to argue when Sebastian glared at her and said, “What? Are you ignoring what I said?”

“No, I wouldn’t dare!” Carissa quickly replied and smiled. “Alright then, no medical fees. I owe you a favor instead, okay?”

“Get up. I’m too lazy to argue with you.” Sebastian rolled his eyes and began writing a new prescription. The prescription needs to be changed now. He must still continue taking medication.”

Frederick stood by, thinking they couldn’t return to the physician’s office for medicine this time. They didn’t charge any money there, which made it difficult for him.

Sebastian handed the prescription to Frederick and saw through his thoughts immediately.

Frederick shivered at Sebastian’s reminder, realizing he had forgotten that crucial point. Moreover, they had to be extremely cautious with Ryan’s situation–some people might harbor malicious intentions and cause further trouble for the Duke of Northwatch’s family.

She wanted to promise that she would protect Ryan with all her might and watch him inherit the duke’s title, get married, have children, and continue their family’s legacy.

Yet, she also felt Ryan didn’t need to perform spectacular deeds. As long as he was well, that was enough.

So many words and various tangled emotions.

Carissa had once been the most pampered daughter in the family, but now she supported the Duke of Northwatch’s household and was Ryan’s pillar.

She could no longer run to her mother’s arms to seek comfort when troubles arose. She hadn’t been able to indulge in such childish behavior for a long, long time.

But with a hopeful future ahead, was it not worth looking forward to?

Yet, as if to overshadow this hope, Aurora actually came to see her.
