Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 67

After they took the foreman away, Alessandro went to see Abril. When he entered the room, he saw that she was still sleeping. He tried to wake her, but he couldn’t. She was in a deep sleep, and that worried him.

“Abril, wake up,” he repeated over and over, but she remained unresponsive.

Alessandro was worried because Abril had not woken up, so he called for the doctor. When Cassian learned that his brother had summoned the doctor, he rushed to the room to see what was happening. Lessan was desperately trying to wake Abril, but she seemed to be in a deep sleep.

“What is going on?” Cassian asked.

“I don’t know. I can’t get her to wake up,” Alessandro replied, checking Abril’s breathing, which had become faint. He held her hand, shouting because the doctor had not yet arrived. Cassian could feel his brother’s fear of losing Abril.

Cassian moved closer and noticed a faint light emanating from Abril’s body. “Is it my imagination, or is Abril’s body glowing?” he asked.

Alessandro, with his head bowed, looked up and saw the truth. “What is happening?” he questioned.

“I don’t know,” Cassian replied, extending his hand to touch her. As he touched her arm, the light from Abril’s body grew stronger; blinding. Cassian felt as if struck by lightning. Alessandro pushed him away from Abril, throwing him across the room. Cassian seemed dazed, and Lessan shook his shoulder to snap him out of it.

“Cassian! Are you okay?” Lessan shouted.

“Yes, or at least I think so. Honestly, I’m not very sure,” Cassian responded.

Alessandro turned his gaze back to Abril. The light that had enveloped her body just a minute ago had disappeared again. Alessandro moved closer to her, careful not to touch her, and said to his brother, “Ask why the doctor hasn’t arrived yet.”

Cassian stood up and took a few steps toward his brother, surprised to realize he was no longer limping. He shook his head to refocus on what was important at that moment and said, “I think Abril doesn’t need a doctor, she needs a mage.”

Alessandro had also come to the same conclusion, but he couldn’t call just any mage, as no one could know about Abril’s magic. “We can’t call just any mage,” he said.

“I don’t think any mage will help much; we need Sirius,” Cassian replied.

“I know, but returning to the palace with Abril in this state is not a good idea,” Alessandro said.

“I’ll go get Sirius and bring him here,” Cassian declared.

Alessandro looked at Abril’s face. She was getting paler. He wanted to hold her hand but knew it was best not to touch her, so he refrained. “Hurry, Cassian,” he urged.

“Don’t worry, brother. I will,” Cassian assured him.

Shortly after Cassian left, the doctor arrived. When he approached to examine her, Alessandro stopped him. “Don’t touch her.”

“But I need to touch her to examine her,” the doctor protested.

“Do it without touching her.”

“But, Your Majesty”

Alessandro shot the doctor a murderous look, which was enough to silence him.

The doctor examined her as best he could without touching her. “Do you know if she has had a fever or if she has one now?” he asked.

When Alessandro had touched Abril’s body, he felt it was warm, so he responded, “I think she has a slight fever.”

“Has she shown any other symptoms?” the doctor inquired.

“She’s asleep and won’t wake up no matter how much we talk to her,” Alessandro said.

The doctor checked the princess’s nails and lips to rule out poisoning. However, at first glance, she seemed merely asleep, with no signs of illness. “Your Majesty, without touching the princess, it’s impossible to know what’s wrong. I need to take her pulse to ensure it’s not a pregnancy.”

“Fine, but wear gloves,” Alessandro commanded.

“That will make it a bit difficult.”

“Do it,” Alessandro insisted.

The king was so intimidating that the doctor had no choice but to obey. He took the princess’s pulse, and as he frowned, Alessandro anxiously asked, “Is she pregnant?”

“No, Your Majesty. It’s just that her pulse is very weak,” the doctor replied.

“And what does she have?” Alessandro demanded.

“I don’t know. It might be better to call a mage,” the doctor suggested.

“I already have. If you have nothing else to do, leave,” Alessandro ordered.

The doctor gathered his things and left the room, leaving them alone. Alessandro put on gloves to avoid touching Abril directly, held her hand, and whispered, “Please wake up.”
