Why Did I Become the Villainess?

Chapter 369 : Hospital

I slowly open my eyes and find myself in an unfamiliar room. I frown and immediately get up out of fear. But because I just woke up, I felt my whole world spin because of my sudden movement.

"You shouldn't move carelessly. Your body is still weak." I heard Brother Pascal say.

But because I still felt dizzy, I didn't immediately answer him. I only looked at him after my dizziness disappeared. "Brother, where am I?" I look around and realize that I am inside a hospital room. "I'm in the hospital?" I heard Brother Pascal sigh. "You know you just collapsed the other day, and you still push yourself until you reach your limits? Don't you really care about your health?" He shakes his head. "We didn't have a choice but to admit you to the hospital because of your fatigue. You didn't eat or drink anything for a day, Csille. You have low blood, so we didn't have a choice but to transfuse blood to you again."

I nod my head. Then I look around, trying to find Mother and Father. But I only see two maids inside. Where are Mother and Father? I looked at Brother Pascal, but before I could ask him where my parents were, he had already told me the answer. "Aunt and Uncle are busy with their work. That's why they are not here. I am just here to check on your condition." He looks at the paper he is holding. "But it seems like some other Doctor was already assigned to you. I don't think I am needed here. I'll get going then."

Brother Pascal was about to leave when I caught his arm. "Brother, are you still mad at me?"

Brother Pascal stares coldly at me before he gets my hands off him. Then he left the room without saying anything.

I look at the closed door with a bitter smile. They are really mad at me because if they are not, I'm sure they won't let me alone here, knowing I just collapsed again. "Miss, I'm sure Master Pascal is just busy today. That's why he couldn't stay with you today. I hope you won't misunderstand Master Pascal."

I looked at the maid who just consoled me just now and smiled reassuringly at her. "I know." I lay on the bed again and turned my back from them.

I smile bitterly at myself. Brother Pascal is busy today, that's why he can't be with me? More like he is mad at me and doesn't want to see me today. Because if it's before, no matter how busy they were, they would still choose to set aside their work just to be with me. It is only a sign that I have reached their bottom line this time. I just wished I could reconcile with them before I became the villainess.

I spend my day lying on the hospital bed doing nothing. The two maids tried to entertain me by reading me books or singing songs to me. However, my mood is still down. "Miss, your dinner is prepared. You should eat it already."

I look at the maid holding a bed tray with dishes on it. I shake my head and remain lying on my bed. "Can you set it aside for now? I am still full."

I felt my hand tremble when I heard what they said. Even Rufus is injured? What will happen to the banquet now? Those two were also needed in the banquet. What will I do now? I need to do something to make them attend the banquet.

However, what can I do? I am here admitted in the hospital while my parents don't allow me to go out? How can I help them? I couldn't sneak out again and force Rufus and Princess Paislee to attend the banquet. That will be a no no. My parents are still mad at me, and if I do that, I don't know what I will do to reconcile with them after. I also cannot convince Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee to attend the banquet because it will sound weird for sure.

I heard someone sigh. "But do they already know what happened? Like how serious the injuries of Prince Rufus and Sir Farren? Who is the culprit behind it, or if it's just an accident? I haven't heard any news about it."

I have been dying to ask this question too. I want to know who is behind all of this? Is it that person? Is he starting to go against Prince Fraser already? But isn't this a dangerous move? That certain someone is not the type of person who will do something reckless like this.

"Nobody knows. I think his highnesses still haven't released any statement regarding the matter. Or maybe the royal family stops the spread of the news because of the banquet."

I heave a sigh. There are a lot of things I don't understand right now. Why does this happen? I didn't write this thing. Is it because of that force again? But I don't understand the reason why does this needs to happen.

What does that thing want?

"But aren't they supposed to inform us? So, we wouldn't have to worry. What if it's the act of our nemesis? We have guests from our nemesis Kingdom. What if they do something against us again?"

"But if they inform us, wouldn't that alert our enemies. I'm sure his Majesty has already made a plan on how to deal with this. So, let's just trust our majesty."

"What else can we do but to trust them. After all, they are still our rulers, and it's their responsibility to protect us always. I'm sure the royal family wouldn't want to put everyone in danger." I heave a sigh and go back inside my room. I think I already heard everything I needed to hear. Although I still have a lot of questions, I will just find a way to look for answers some other time. The two maids immediately stop talking when they see me walk inside the room. "Dame Csille, do you want to eat your dinner now?"

I look at the maid who asks the question and shakes my head. Dinner? I don't think I have the appetite for that.

"I'm still full. I feel sleepy. Can you turn the lights off? I want to sleep first." I get on my bed and lay on it. "But Dame Csille, it won't be good if you skip your dinner. Why don't you eat your dinner first before you sleep?"

I look at the maid and frown. "Do you want me to die? You know it's not good to sleep after eating, right? Also, I never said I'm skipping my dinner. I will eat later. I just feel sleepy right now, so I want to sleep first. So, can you please turn off the lights?"

The two maids stare at each other for a few seconds before the two of them hesitantly turn off the light. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but my mind couldn't stop thinking about what I had heard from the maids. What will I do now? Things are getting out of hand, and yet here I am. I couldn't even do anything to put everything in place.
