Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 390

Carissa looked up at Ivy and asked, "Is there no other way to treat my aunt's illness? Could we ask Sebastian to come over?"

"My mentor has already come here, but he didn't tell you. He said Lady Avis is just enduring, and it's uncertain how long she can last. If we stop her medication, she might only have a day or two left," Ivy replied.

Carissa's eyes widened in alarm. "You can't stop her medication!"

Ivy looked resigned as she said, "Even if we continue with her medication, she may make it through the end of the year, but she certainly won't survive beyond the fifteenth of the new year."

Tears streamed down Carissa's face. She hadn't realized how severe Avis' condition was. Sebastian had kept her in the dark, and Rowan had always seemed on the verge of saying something but held back.

Carissa should have guessed earlier.

"At least the current medication and acupuncture will ease her suffering. When the time comes, she won't be in too much pain," Ivy consoled.

As a physician, Ivy had witnessed many patients pass away. However, she felt a deep sense of regret for Avis.

It was a bitter pill to swallow.

How unfortunate could a person be to be despised by both her husband and children? Her family wasn't much help either. They were stationed far away and unable to visit even once during the harsh winter.

If a person had done wrong and met an ill fate, others would sigh and say it was well deserved. However, Avis had always been kind-hearted and had done many good deeds throughout her life. How had she ended up in such a dire state?

"Vivi, you return to the capital tomorrow. I'll stay here with my aunt," Carissa said, wiping her tears. "I can't allow her to not have a single family member by her side."

Violet, ever loyal, replied, "I'll stay here with you. As for Rod, there's a wooden house outside the monastery specifically for accommodating male guests. Let him stay there."
