Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 475

Lulu hurried downstairs to fetch more coffee, and poured a fresh cup for Alana.

After Alana finished her coffee, she continued, "Lady Leona had been waiting for him to come, so we didn't stop him. We thought it would be better if the couple resolved their conflicts openly. At least, before the child is born, the duchess should be in a better mood instead of crying alone every night."

Carissa became anxious. "Did he go in and insult Leona?"

"Insult her? If it was just that, I wouldn't have hit him. He pushed the duchess and made her belly hit the corner of the table. She was in so much pain that she broke into a cold sweat, which was when I stepped in and hit him."

"He pushed Leona? How is she now?" Carissa asked urgently.

"The family's physician has seen her. She's experiencing a possible miscarriage and will need to stay in bed for a month," Alana said, taking another sip of coffee. "Since the duchess kept crying out for her mother, I went to Hartstone Estate first, hoping to ask them to come and check on the duchess."

Alana paused for a long time, making everyone anxious.

Carissa couldn't help but ask again, "Did they go?"

"No!" Alana took another sip of coffee. "I'm so thirsty from running around and not drinking enough. Lady Heather wanted to go, but Prince Harvey said if they went, they would have to confront that scumbag. If they did, they needed to know the Earl of Gracehold's family's stance on the matter.

"They ended up discussing back and forth and decided that since the physician said bed rest would suffice, they would visit on another day and avoid the current commotion. Visiting in a few days wouldn't be tied to today's incident."

Suddenly, an angry voice came from outside the door, "Damn that nonsense!"

Helen and Gillian entered, both with expressions of fury.

"His own daughter is being mistreated, and instead of standing up for her, he's afraid of offending his son-in-law? What kind of reasoning is that? Is his son-in-law made of gold?" Helen snarled.

Alana stood up to greet Helen.

Helen looked at Alana, and asked, "So, they're just going to let it go? What exactly are they afraid of?"
