Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251

Frederick didn’t place Ryan in his previous residence.

Although the place had been redecorated, Frederick was concerned that it might remind Ryan of his painful past. Instead, Frederick arranged for Ryan and Carissa to stay in Amethyst Hall. The place was spacious enough for the two of them, and they had plenty of room to settle in comfortably.

Frederick was mindful of the hardships Ryan had endured, and knew that Carissa would need to look after him closely. Since Ryan had not yet turned seven, it was appropriate for him to stay with his aunt. They would go with the arrangements like this for now, and after Carissa’s marriage, they could consider other arrangements.

Once Ryan was settled, Carissa gathered everyone in the side hall and instructed Frederick to send word to Theodore and the Klein family. She mentioned that once Ryan’s emotions were more stable in a few days, she would take him to visit everyone.

“If the Klein family members wish to see Ryan sooner, they can come to us,” Carissa added. “Ryan is close to his grandparents and uncles, and won’t mind their visit. As for Granduncle Theodore, we can delay that for a few days.”

Carissa was unaware that the Klein family didn’t believe the news. So, Frederick’s message was met with skepticism. Not only did they refuse to come, but they also insisted that if Carissa wanted to find a substitute for the duke’s title, they shouldn’t use Ryan’s name. They pointed out that Carissa had many young children from the Sinclair family to choose from.

In other words, they didn’t believe and were unwilling to have Ryan’s name used.

Frederick had not delivered the message personally but had sent Bobby, a newly appointed and inexperienced servant. In addition, Bobby had never met Ryan. So, he was met with anger from Anthony and was unable to offer any refute. Bobby then awkwardly left after being reprimanded.

When Bobby returned and reported the situation, Carissa was initially surprised but soon understood. After all, Anthony had been responsible for handling Ryan’s remains. Given this, Carissa decided to wait until Sebastian had examined Ryan before taking him to visit.

Once Ryan had bathed and changed into fresh clothes, Sebastian arrived. Sebastian was well–acquainted with the Sinclair family, from the old matriarch to the various children. Over the years, he had maintained close ties with them and had personally treated many of their injuries and illnesses whenever they arose.

Sebastian had also been the one to attend to several of the women during their pregnancies, ensuring their well–being. His dedication was evident, and only the Sinclair family could inspire such devoted care from him.

Despite Ryan’s severe weight loss and stunted growth, Sebastian recognized him immediately. In turn, Ryan also remembered Sebastian well. The physician had always been the one to administer the most bitter medicine, and as a child, Ryan had dreaded seeing him. However, Sebastian’s needlework was painless, unlike the harsh pricks from the physician at Greenbrook County.

The image of the child beggar was entirely gone. As soon as he saw Sebastian, Ryan dropped to his knees and greeted him respectfully.

Sebastian was deeply moved. He helped Ryan to his feet and conducted a thorough examination. He
