?Chapter 991:


    Eloise pressed both hands over her face, leaving a narrow slit between her fingers as she peered anxiously at the scene unfolding before her.


    “Quick, get a doctor! Dn has fainted!” Christina’s nerves were so frayed that she couldn’t tell Dn was merely pretending to faint.


    Christina rose quickly and guided Dn back onto the hospital bed, adjusting him carefully to settle him properly.


    Dn, still feigning unconsciousness, dared not lift his eyelids. He worried that if Christina caught on to his act, she might distance herself from him out of embarrassment.


    The best solution he could think of was to keep up the charade of fainting.


    Chloe and Eloise had initially assumed they were witnessing nothing more than a yful interaction between Dn and Christina. They hadn’t expected Dn to appear genuinely frail and copse.


    “I’ll fetch the doctor!” Eloise eximed as she spun around and rushed out the door.


    Chloe set the food she had carried onto the table before hurrying to Dn’s side. “Dn!” she called, her voice trembling.


    Chloe lifted a trembling hand to check for his breath, terrified she might not feel anything at all. When she sensed the faint warmth of his breathing, the knot in her chest loosened, and she let out a shaky sigh. Relief washed over her—he was still alive.


    “Don’t worry. Your brother’s fine. It’s nothing serious—just weakness from a high fever caused by an infection,” Christina said gently, her tone calm and reassuring.


    Chloe’s shoulders rxed at once, her trust in Christina absolute. Anything Christina dered, to her, was as solid as truth itself.


    “Thank goodness,” Chloe murmured, sinking into a chair. “That nearly gave me a heart attack.” Her heart was still racing, the fear of the worst scenario lingering like a shadow.

    Momentster, Eloise returned with the doctor in tow. The doctor approached Dn without dy and carried out a thorough examination. His findings mirrored Christina’s—there was no grave issue, only weakness.


    “Dn just needs more rest. Let him sleep for now,” Chloe said, taking out the desserts she had bought for Christina. “These are famous local treats—they’re delicious. You really must try them.”


    Christina picked up a pudding, smiling. “Why don’t you join me?”


    “We already ate beforeing. These are meant especially for you. And once Dn’s discharged, I’ll take you around the city!” Chloe said, her face alight with excitement.<fnab2d> For original chapters go to fι?dnοvel</fnab2d>


    “Honestly, I’ve never been to Lorbridge before,” Eloise admitted with a shy smile. Before she was reunited with the Hubbard family, her life had been marked by poverty and hunger. The thought of one day strolling carefree through Lorbridge had seemed like an impossible dream.


    Now, Eloise had both family and friends who cared for her, and the happiness felt unreal. She treasured every moment with them, clinging to these warm days. Even if they someday dissolved like a dream, the memories would remain,forting her forever.
