Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 602

Violet smiled, and asked, "Are you sure it's okay to take so much? Won't Sebastian be upset?"

Silas forced a chuckle. "Not at all. Lady Carissa came personally to collect it, so he won't mind. Anything she takes is fine. He instructed this before."

"I'm jealous. Sebastian's incredibly generous with Cari," Violet remarked.

Silas nodded. "He treats Lady Carissa like his own daughter."

"That much is true. When we were at the Southern Frontier, Carissa came loaded with medicine, claiming it was all from Sebastian." Violet hooked her arm through Carissa's, and added, "By the way, I saw Viola outside earlier. Mr. Lewis, you know her, right? She used to be your cousin's wife."

At her words, Silas' knife slipped, and he accidentally cut his finger. Blood instantly welled up from the wound.

"Why were you so careless? Hurry and wrap that up!" Violet urged.

Silas hastily pulled a roll of gauze from the drawer and wrapped it around his finger, his tone noticeably strained. "It's nothing. Just a small injury. Are these slices enough, Lady Carissa, Ms. Spencer?"

"Yes, of course," Carissa replied, taking a piece of paper to wrap up the Evergreen Root. "This should do. I think there are about seven or eight slices. Let's grab some other things—I don't know much about herbal medicine, so just choose what you think I need, Mr. Lewis."

Silas fumbled for two vials of medicine. But as he handed one over, he exclaimed, "Wait! Sorry, that's the wrong one!"

He quickly set one vial back, and retrieved another matte glass bottle before presenting it to her.

"This is the right one. It's a blood-nourishing tonic to help replenish energy. The other one is for palpitations. If she can't sleep well at night, just take one or two. It's fine either way. The most important thing before delivery is to build up her energy and strength."

As Silas spoke, he avoided making eye contact with Carissa. He simply hurriedly rattled off the details. Carissa accepted the bottle, and resolved to confirm the instructions with Ivy later.

"Inappropriate relationship?" Violet frowned. "Well, I won't bother asking Claire to look into it then. We don't need to get tangled in something like that."

"That's right." Carissa didn't want to dwell on it. Before long, the carriage arrived at the entrance of Gracehold Estate.

Carissa rarely visited, but she knew Leona's situation well. Alana and Leah kept her updated.

With Leona's pregnancy progressing, she had put aside her thoughts of getting a divorce. She would try to endure until the baby was born. Afterward, she planned to use her health as an excuse to move out with the child for some peace and quiet—far away from Samuel and his family.

Aside from Samuel and Dorothy, everyone else at Gracehold Estate was not difficult to deal with. They simply didn't genuinely care for Leona. Disheartened by their indifference, Leona figured it would be safer to leave.

She had shared this plan with Alana, who had then informed Carissa about it.
