Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 868

After Jacob had sent Dylan off to sweep the courtyard as punishment, Livius from Arcane Sanctum arrived. He was Sebastian's sixth apprentice—a young, exceptionally skilled physician. He usually stayed at Arcane Sanctum and seldom made house calls.

Since Rafael was injured, Sebastian had specifically dispatched Livius to conduct a thorough examination to ensure that nothing vital had been harmed. Rafael was young and still without children. On top of that, he was taking contraceptive medication. How could Sebastian not be worried for him?

As Helen and Violet returned from shopping, they heard the news about Rafael's injury, prompting Helen to hurry over.

Livius was already treating the prince when Carissa noticed Helen's arrival and quickly greeted the older woman.

"Hello, Mother."

Helen responded with a brief acknowledgment, her eyes immediately searching for her son. Rafael hadn't had a chance to bathe after returning home, so his hair remained tousled. Upon seeing his bruised face and the swollen lump on his forehead, Helen couldn't help but laugh despite her concern.

"How…how did you end up looking like this? Weren't you just going up the mountain to enjoy the snow?"

Carissa spoke softly, "Mother, Raf had a little accident and fell."

"I see," Helen said, taking another look at her son's face. "That… really does sound quite careless."

Violet hadn't entered the room. Jacob had said that Rafael's leg was injured, which meant he would have to roll up his trousers for Livius to treat him. It wouldn't be appropriate for Violet to see the bare legs of her friend's man.

"Why didn't you call for the household physician?" Helen asked.

"He's out today," Carissa replied.

"Is that so? We should have at least two physicians available at all times in the estate," Helen noted as she observed the swelling of Rafael's leg, which the young physician was wrapping a bandage around. "Is the injury serious?"

"His Highness has a fractured bone in his calf, but it's not a major issue," Livius answered. "After applying medicine and resting for 10 days, he should be fine. As for the other injuries, those are just superficial wounds that will heal in a few days. However, he should avoid getting the injured foot wet for now."

Carissa expressed her gratitude, "Understood. Thank you, Livius."
