26 Reunion

Reunion

Awhile later, Sylvy's lashes flutter and opened her eyes. She look around and notice her father sitting beside her bed.

"F..Father", her throat was still dry due to the long time that she was sick. "I'm thirsty."

The Duke immediately answered.

"Yes. Father will ask water for you."

He called one of the servant outside who immediately run out to the kitchen upon noticing that their young miss was already awake.

Later, her mother,Madam Sophia also entered the room. She almost cried when she saw her daughter who just woke up from her slumber.

"Oh thank you so much." she cried. She look up to the Duke and ask about the details.

"We should thank her." he just answered mildly.

"Her?" Madam Sophia paused a little bit but suddenly came into realization. "Then I should personally thank her. But how did she do it? Is she a physician?"

"She cured our daughter out of her goodwill, no need to thank her, I already did." He answered her but ignored her last question.

"Mother who are you talking about?" Sylvy curiously asked. She just woke up so its quite understandable that she is clueless about the current events.

The Duke took the oppurtunity to answer her.

"She is now my adopted daughter and your sister. "He then summarized all the details for her daughter and wife. This is the first time that he told them about Louise. Of course there were some details that he omitted but overall what he told them was the truth.

"Then why is it that you did not clarify this matter during our dinner with Garcy?" his wife asked.

"That's because there is no need to. Besides even if I told her that she is my benefactor it doesn't change the fact that Louise will still be an eyeshore to her just like you and Sylvy."

Madam Sophia stiffened. She was confused at first but soon realization dawn upon her. She clench her first and ask furiously.

"Is it her? Is she the one who harm my Sylvy sick?!"

Duke Gerald reach her clench fist and patted it to calm her down.

"I understand how you feel but we should not rush things out. I'll deal with her so just leave it to me."

Madam Sophia wasn't able to control herself and cried. The Duke hug her tightly and patted her back. He made sure that all of the servants were sent out of the room so its just him and his first family.

Sylvy also understood everything. She already know that Madam Garcy doesn't like them at all. But this is already going overboard. If it's possible to divorce that Garcy she would already asked her Dad. But she is a noble and she understood political marriage. She would also put her Dad into a difficult situation if she asked for it.

His Father cannot divorce her for she is a marriage bestowed by the king himself. Garcy is a daughter of one of his great advisors and Duke Gerald doesn't have any choice but to comply.

They can use this time to find fault with Madam Garcy but they don't have any proof yet. That's why hia father needs to let her have her ways for the meantime.

Duke Gerald smiled to both of them.

"I'm thankful that you are cure now. Just recurpetate in your room and have your trustful servants to serve you. In a few weeks we wil be visiting the kingdom of Dusk so you have to be very well."

Sylvy obediently nodded.

"I will father."
