"Father!"

"Lord!"

Surprised by the surprise remarks, people called my grandfather here and there.

However, my grandfather was still looking at Viese without answering much.

Like Watching how Viese gonna react.

"Thank you, Father!"

Viese replied vigorously, clenching his fists.

"I will not disappoint you as much as you believe!"

Grandfather looked at Viese with his incomprehensible eyes and urged Estira.

"Now that I'm done, go and heal Tia. Tia, hang in there."

Grandfather looked at me anxiously from afar and said.

Then he tried to get out of bed as if he wasn't sick.

"No. I'm with the doctor..."

"Stay here Grandpa. What if you fall while walking again?."

I shook my head firmly.

"But..."

"I have no pain other than my shoulder. I can walk, so don't worry."

He said so and quickly got out of the chair.

I didn't know if he would really follow to stay still.

In fact, aside from the shoulder and arm that was most seriously injured, all the parts that fell and bumped are hurt, including the back and legs.

Ollier meticulously stopped the bleeding and bandaged it to treat it, but the throbbing pain remained the same.

If my grandfather wasn't here, I would have pretended to be sick and lying down.

It's a bit disappointing.

"Let's go, Estira."

I walked out of my grandfather's bedroom, feeling the eyes of the people behind my back.

A quiet step followed me.

"Tia."

It was Shannanet.

It was a face that showed complex feelings, but she was smiling at me.

"Let's go to the doctor's office with me."

Of all things, my father is not here because he is on a business trip.

Maybe it's because she can't let me go alone.

I nodded my head obediently.

Fortunately, it is not that far from my grandfather's bedroom to the doctor's office.

It was just a small courtyard crossing.

But in the meantime, Shananet constantly talked to me.

"It must hurt a lot. Tia is very polite."

For Shananet, who is a quiet talker, she really spoke without breathing.

"When the twins were at your age, they hurt their ankles while playing pranks. How much Mayron cried at that time. Do you remember, Tia?"

"Yes, Gilliu was crying together, and his head was hurting."

"Yes, it was."

Perhaps Shananet thought I was nervous about stitching up the wound.

Actually, I was nervous.

There is anesthesia technology here, but it is not as perfect as modern medicine.

I was somewhat prepared, but I couldn't help but tremble.

Sure enough.

When I got to the doctor's office and started stitching up the wound, I felt like I was going to make a really bad sound.

"Ugh!"

"Hang in there, Lady Florentia."

Estira started rushing as fast as she could to keep my pain short, but of course, the pain got worse.

There was no fear, actually, knowing that it was just a slight wound.

But the pain was inevitable, and physiological tears began to drip.

It was then.

There was a gentle grip on my hand, which was clutching the hem of my skirt.

"Hold my hand."

It was Shananet.

Surprised, I looked up at Shananet blankly, and the needle penetrated the flesh again.

"Ugh!"

Unknowingly, I held Shananet's hand tightly enough to dig into her hands, and I was surprised by the act again, so I hurried to let go of Shananet's hands.

"It's okay. It's okay, Tia."

But Shananet rather held my hand tighter and wouldn't let me go.5

"Hold my hand."

Shananet said, kindly make eye contact.

"Tha, thank you..."

It was hard to say thank you properly.

Eventually, I managed to hold Shananet's hand through the process the whole time Estira stitching up the wound

"It's over, Lady Florentia."

"Whoa, whoa..."

I opened my closed eyes as I could barely let out the breath I had been holding from screaming.

"Good job, really."

Estira said, wiping the sweat off her forehead.

"Yes, Estira had a hard time, too... Ah..."

I could see blood droplets on the back of Shananet's hand I was holding.

And the red blood permeated under my nails, too.

I clasped Shananet's hand so tightly that I cut the back of her hand.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know."

I apologized quickly.

But Shananet smiled and shook her head.

"Sorry?. I'm proud of you, Tia. You put up with it."

Then she patted me on the head.

I knew that Shananet wasn't just a blunt person.

It was also my first time experiencing this in person.

"Then I'll apply for some medicine elsewhere."

After a long time, I was able to apply for medicine all over my body, change my ruined clothes, and lie on the bed in the doctor's office.

It was a kind of hospitalization.

"Because Mr. Ollier will be by the Patriarch's side tonight. I'll take care of you here."

"But my grandfather..."

"The Patriarch just need someone to watch in case we don't know. It's Lady Florentia who needs more treatment right now."
