When Helene patted Aurelia's back, Aurelia tried to wrap her arms around the former as well… like how a child would cling to her mother.
"Be good, hush," Helene said softly. "I'm here, it's okay…"
"Mm!" Aurelia nodded and wore a genuine smile.
"Princess Lene, will you protect me?"
"I will." Helene smiled without much thought.
"Why?"
"Y-You're my baby."
"Princess Lene, I told you, your baby's over there!" Aurelia pointed at the pillow with a smile.
Helene paused before she smiled embarrassedly as if realizing something. She scooped the pillow over with a hand and kept another around Aurelia so both were in her arms.
"Both!" she said loudly. "Both are my babies!"
Aurelia giggled happily, a different sense of bliss engulfing her.
There was a noise at the door then.
Aurelia got up, alarmed, but the person had already entered before she went over.
"Mr. Irwin!" Aurelia's eyes shone.
Rowan hushed her and asked her softly, after looking around to see that there was no one, "How has Princess Lene been while I was gone?"
"Still the same," Aurelia answered honestly and turned angry. "The servants here are bullies! They treat her like that because she can't do anything to them!"
"That's trivial." Rowan was indifferent. What was most important now was not to treat Helene but to root out the person who wanted to harm her.
After resolving what needed to be resolved, only then would Helene recover soon. Rowan also suspected that the large sum of medical fees the royal family had spent over the past years had not been to treat Helene. Someone who had an ulterior motive hoped that she would never regain lucidity…
