Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 341 : Sick

Brother Pascal shakes his head. "It's already noon. We should return to the capital now. I didn't expect we would take some time here." I feel guilty that I waste his time by talking to Grandmother Ulla and Louisa, but it's the only thing I can do to stop us from returning to the capital. We can only return to the capital once it's getting dark. It is to ensure that I won't be able to see Prince Fraser.

"I'm sorry, Brother. I got soo happy seeing Louisa and her grandmother that I didn't realize I was taking too much of your time. I apologize. I know you are a busy person, but—"

My words got stuck in my throat when I felt a hand gently caressing my head. "Don't worry about it. I'm glad that you made them happy. It's the first time I have seen them that happy again. I'm sure you made their day. So, don't worry about my time. My colleagues can take over my job. So, don't blame yourself, okay?"

I look up and pout at him. "Are you sure it's okay? I don't want to interrupt your work, Brother."

Brother Pascal smiles reassuringly at me. "Don't worry. You will never be a bother to me."

I heave a sigh and cling to his arms. "Brother, can you drop me off somewhere? I still have something to do today."

Brother Pascal looks at me and frowns. "And where do you plan to go? I thought we agreed that you would rest after visiting Grandmother Ulla? Are you breaking your promise to me, Csille?"

I immediately shake my head. I cannot tell him yes because he will definitely get mad at me, and I cannot also say to him that I am planning to stay here until it gets dark. "No, Brother. How can I break my promise to you? I won't do that."

Brother Pascal squints his eyes at me. "Really? Do you want me to remind you how many times you break your promise to me or to Aunt and Uncle?" Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

I smile cheekily at him and tug his arms. "Brother, I know I broke my promise before, but please believe me this time. I will definitely take a rest. I just need to do something first, and after I do that, I will return home. You can just drop me off and return to the capital first. I know you're a busy person. I'll just find my way home after."

Brother Pascal sighed. "Do you really expect me to let you go home alone? What will I say to Aunt and Uncle if something happens to you? So, no. I won't let you go home alone. I will wait for you. Where do you want to go?"

Wait for me? But if he does that, then I will be taking too much of his time. I already feel guilty taking a few hours of his day. I don't think it will be right to involve him in my plan. After all, Brother Pascal is a busy person. It wouldn't be right for me to take away his time.

I shake my head. "But Brother, I can perfectly protect myself. So, you don't have to worry about me. I know you are busy with your work, and I don't want to take your time anymore."

Brother Pascal shakes his head firmly. Then he looks at me as if asking if I am serious. "Protect yourself? Csille, do you want me to remind you what happened when you said that line before? You got hurt. Do you want to subject Aunt and Uncle to that pain again? So, no, I won't let you go on your own."

I heave a sigh. I understand why he doesn't want to return to the capital first because he is right, though. I have said those words before and still end up being injured. "But those were accidents, Brother. I never intended to hurt myself, and I wouldn't want to hurt you or my parents too. But I swear this time, I will take care of myself prop—"

When I open my eyes, the first thing that I have seen is a blurry face of a beautiful lady. My eyesight is still blurry, but I can definitely see her beauty. It looked like she was saying something to me, but I couldn't hear it. Brother Pascal helps me stand up and walk while Gisbert leads us to his house. I don't understand why I suddenly feel weak. I wasn't like this when we first came here, so I didn't understand why I felt so weak. It's as if someone drains my energy.

Brother Pascal frowns. He probably noticed how weak I am. "Csille, are you okay? I shouldn't have agreed with you coming here. Look how exhausted you are..."

I could hear Brother Pascal saying something, but I couldn't comprehend what he was saying. It's as if everything is on mute, and my eyes start to get blurry. And that is the last thing I remember.

When I open my eyes, the first thing that I have seen is a blurry face of a beautiful lady. My eyesight is still blurry, but I can definitely see her beauty. It looked like she was saying something to me, but I couldn't hear it. I raised my hand to touch her face to see if she was real. "Are you an angel?"

The lady stops moving for a couple of seconds before someone takes my hand, and a familiar face pops into my view. I squint my eyes to see the face of the person through my blurry vision.

I blink a couple of times to see the face of the person. My eyes widened when I realized it was Brother Pascal. "Brother..." I whispered.

I heard Brother Pascal sigh in relief when he heard me say something. He then holds my hand tightly. "Csille, are you okay? Do you feel something? Are you hurt?"

I slowly shake my head. I don't feel any pain. Instead, I just feel weak. It's as if I just finished doing an hour of cardio exercise. "I feel weak, Brother," I whispered. Even speaking takes a lot of effort for me to do that. My voice sounded frail because of it.

I tried to get up, but because I was too weak, I ended up falling to the ground again. Brother Pascal immediately helps me to sit up. "It's really a bad idea for us to come here. Look what happened to you. Haven't I told you to take some rest first?" He then shakes his head in disappointment. I just don't know why he is disappointed. Is it because of my stubbornness or because of what happened to me?

I was about to say something when someone suddenly spoke. I look in front of us and find Lady Nahale looking at us worriedly. "Why don't you drink this soup first? It will help you regain your energy." She then hands me a bowl of soup. I grimaced when I smelled it. I can already taste the bitterness of it just with its smell. "It's a herbal soup. My people don't like to drink pills and prefer to drink concocted soup. So, you shouldn't worry."

I shake my head and smile at her. I was not worried that she might put something to it. I just couldn't react immediately because my mind was still processing things. "Please don't misunderstand, Lady Nahale. I know you don't have any bad intentions with the soup. It's just that my mind is still blurry that I couldn't process things at a normal speed." Then I bow my head at her as a respect and thank you for the soup. "Thank you for the soup."

Even though I feel like I wouldn't like the taste of the soup, I still drink it. I know Lady Nahale only wants to make me feel better, and I don't want to disappoint her by declining the soup.

I felt nauseated when the taste assaulted my taste buds. It's so bitter that I almost want to throw everything up, but because I don't want to disappoint everyone, I just tortured myself by drinking it all.

After drinking everything, I slump my body on the ground and close my eyes. I suddenly feel sick again.

I could hear Lady Nahale and Brother Pascal saying something to me, but I couldn't hear it. I feel like my mind is floating, and so is my body.
