Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 256

The other Klein family members helped Diana lay down on the ground and elevated her legs, ensuring she was breathing properly. Then they fanned her and waited until she finally came to.

Upon waking, Diana continued to cry, “Oh, Lord, how could you allow this child to suffer so much? The Sinclair family was full of loyal and brave souls–why did they meet such a terrible end? Lord, you’re unjust! You’re too cruel!”

Carissa couldn’t bear to hear such heart–wrenching lamentations. She hurried outside, her tears flowing freely. In the past, she had managed to hold back her emotions. But now, the floodgates had opened, and all the tears she had previously stifled came pouring out.

Every Klein family member present had their turn to look at Ryan, and then he was taken to Ingrid’s room. Fortunately, she had been given medication beforehand. Seeing Ryan as a mute and a cripple broke her

heart.

He was her great–grandson, whom she had cherished so dearly.

How could he have been reduced to this state?

Ingrid had lost her beloved granddaughter. Now, seeing this well–behaved child, who resembled his mother so much in her youth, in such a condition was a pain more profound than any wound. Ingrid’s grief was so intense that it felt as if her heart had been cut out with a knife.

“The poisoning is manageable but requires effort and time. We need to administer detoxification medicine daily and acupuncture every other day. As for the addiction to the Peony Bliss, it seems to be of less concern now. The detoxification formula Sebastian prescribed can also remove the poison from it. If the treatment is effective, he should be able to speak again within a year.”

Carissa continued, “As for his leg injury, since the bone is misaligned, it will need to be broken and realigned. This will be quite painful, but we have faith in Sebastian’s medical skills and his medicine. He will help Ryan endure the least amount of suffering possible.”

Upon hearing that the bone would need to be rebroken and realigned, the room’s atmosphere grew heavier with sympathy and concern for Ryan.

Sighing, Edward asked, “When will the surgery be performed? We can come over to help care for him. Or if you’re busy with wedding preparations, we can keep Ryan here at Highcrest Estate.”
