Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270

The next day, Ryan woke up. He was still in pain, but it wasn’t as unbearable as when his bone was being

reset.

Despite the discomfort, he forced a smile to reassure Carissa and the rest of the family.

His resilience was heart–wrenching to witness.

Even so, the acupuncture in his throat continued. Rowan insisted it couldn’t be stopped. Since they didn’t do it yesterday because of the bone–setting, it couldn’t be skipped today.

Especially since Ryan had cried out during the procedure, which had proven the treatment to be effective. So, both Sebastian and Rowan believed that the poison in Ryan’s body was being expelled faster than expected.

Additionally, the withdrawal symptoms from the Peony Bliss had not resurfaced, which greatly surprised Sebastian. He knew that even for adults who committed to quitting, the process could take over six months.

Yet, here was a seven–year–old child with such an indomitable will.

In a private conversation with Rowan, Sebastian said, “The Duke of Northwatch’s family truly has no weaklings. The spirit of this family is something to be admired.”

Rowan wholeheartedly agreed. After treating Ryan for so long, he had grown attached to the boy, almost as if he were his own son. He felt both pity and admiration for the boy, and naturally hoped Ryan would recover quickly.

During Ryan’s recovery, Carissa didn’t leave his side. Although many visitors came to call, she had Frederick turn them all away, except for her cousin Leona and her husband, Samuel.

Samuel was a strikingly handsome man with a touch of arrogance. As the heir of the Earl of Gracehold and one of the top–scoring scholars, he had every right to be proud.

Marrying a prince’s daughter only added to his accomplishments, especially since Leona was gentle and virtuous, and deeply in love with him.

At twenty–three, Samuel had already reached heights many people could only dream of achieving in a lifetime.

He had reason to be proud.

In fact, he was proud enough to look down on Carissa

Her traits were rare among women.

But in his eyes, noblewomen like her, who sought to remarry so soon after a divorce, were even rarer.

Samuel believed that a woman should remain loyal to one man for life. Divorce had been her first mistake, and now, remarrying was an even greater one
