Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455: Sudden changes

Rav was currently in the room he shared with Evenly, trying to make her take the medication the doctor had recommended for her leg cramps and muscle aches that came with the pregnancy, but she didn’t like it, as she claimed it tasted and smelled like a dead rat.

"Have you ever had a dead rat before?" he questioned with a small chuckle, which made Evenly glare at him while pressing her palm to her mouth.

"I know how it smells, and that thing smells exactly like that after I swallow it. Try taking it yourself and see what I am talking about. Even the baby doesn’t like it. Whenever I take it, the baby’s kicks become harder than normal. The kicks are painful at times you know."

Rav looked down at the medicine inside the bowl. "The baby doesn’t like it?" he muttered, wondering how it tasted, and was about to bring it to his mouth to sip and see if it indeed smelled like a dead rat when the door of their room was flung open and Angel sprinted into the room, calling urgently,

"Uncle Rav, come real quick! Mama body is on fire and wants help from you!"

His words caused Rav to drop the bowl of medicine in alarm and swirled around to the direction of the small boy. The lady was on fire?! Rav thought with his brows pulled together in concern.

Evenly pushed up from the bed. "Let’s go and see!" She began to hurry toward the door with her belly thrust forward and her hands supporting her waist, but Rav pulled her back gently.

"Stay right here. I will go and see what’s happening. I can’t smell any fire in the house; Angel might have his words mixed up again."

The boy had his own way of phrasing things sometimes, making it hard to understand what he truly meant. Before Rav could even say more, Angel was already dragging him out of the room with surprising strength for his small size. Rav hurriedly closed the door behind them so Evenly wouldn’t follow, telling her firmly to rest in the room.

Rav carried the boy in his arms and sprinted up the stairs toward the master’s bedroom, his heart slamming in his chest at the thought of anything happening to Belle. Though he couldn’t sense any fire, even as he got closer, he knew the boy had rushed to get him because something else had happened.

However, when Rav ran into the already open room, he came to a sudden stop, his eyes falling on the bed and seeing the lady sitting there. He let out a deep sigh of relief before turning to look at Angel, whose worried face brightened instantly at the sight of his mother upright against the headboard.

"I thought you said your mother was on fire, Angel. Where is the fire?" Rav asked as he set the boy down.

He had known the boy likely had his words mixed up again. Angel did that sometimes, like the time he once told Rav that "Enny stomach fall down real hard," when in truth he had meant that Evenly had bent over clutching her stomach because she had eaten something that upset it.

Angel ran toward the bed, hopping onto it to hug his mother, who looked fine and absolutely normal now, smiling at him and opening her arms to hold him.

"Mama, you fine now?" Angel asked as he cupped her face in his small palms, studying her face. Earlier, she had been sweating and turning red, but now she looked normal again. Except for the slight paleness in her cheeks, there were no traces left of the heat he had accidentally pushed into her.

"Yes, I am fine, son," she smiled, her fingers stroking his cheek warmly. Angel grinned and placed a kiss on her face before letting his hand rest on her round belly.

"Baby also fine?" he asked, his mouth pursed in concentration.

The heat from him had gone all the way to the baby earlier, he had felt the little one become restless inside her stomach when he got up to go, which was why he had hurried to get Uncle Rav to come. If someone placed a hand on Angel’s chest right now, they would feel his tiny heart still pounding hard from fear.

Angel’s young face fell at his mother’s words, his lips drooping downward in a way that made him look even more babyish.

In all his young life, his mother had been his role model. She taught him manners and how to be kind to everyone. But more than anything, she meant so much to him that everything she said became his law. If she told him not to do something, Angel made sure he never did that thing. And as hard as what she was currently telling him not to do was, Angel would obey.

Angel’s eyes went to Rav, whose head was still bowed down, and then turned back to his mother who was waiting for his reply. He finally nodded his head slowly.

"Yes, Mama. Un— Rav is servant, not uncle from now." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Belle’s face broke into a proud smile as she hugged her son and praised, "I am so proud of you. Servants will always be servants. Go and get me my cold tea right now." She turned to order Rav again.

Rav felt suddenly lost and a bit hurt at the change in the lady’s attitude, but he gave a nod and left to do as she ordered. He had known, deep down, that what the lady told him a few days ago might have been too good to be true. Servants never truly became family. Yet she had been so kind to him that he believed it anyway. He thought it was real. He had even begun to talk with her freely, with comfort he never thought possible.

What could have caused such a sudden shift? A few weeks ago, she had even insisted he shouldn’t work in the kitchen anymore and should let the new servants handle the work, saying he needed to focus more on Evenly and their unborn child. But now, she was suddenly like this? Like a stranger wearing the same face. Did something happen while she was away with the master?

Rav wondered as he left to do what he was ordered before she would snap at him again. He would have to wait for the master to hear what must have gone wrong because something wasn’t right with the mistress.
