Chapter 102: A Normal Morning

Meredith.

Azul helped me back into my bedroom and tucked me in. I was already feeling delirious at this time.

"My lady, I will ask Kira to get your dinner, and Deidra will bring some pills for your fever," Azul said, her tone laced with kindness as she patted my fingers gently.

I nodded slowly, then she stepped aside.

I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but whatever it was felt so unsettling. I felt chills deep in my bones yet, my skin was scorching hot.

I snuggled under my duvet and hugged myself.

A few minutes later, Kira and Deidra were both by my bedside. I couldn’t see them, my eyes were shut, too tired to look. Their scents was what helped me recognize them.

Then, they spoke.

"My lady, let me help you up. Your dinner is here," Kira said, already reaching for the hem of my duvet. She grasped it and pulled it down, revealing my face.

By the time I was sitting up, Deidra had closed a part of the curtains and returned to my side. She fed me some pills before Kira gently shoved a poon into my hand.

The braised pork in my plate looked so appetising.

The meal before me was just a one plate braised pork with boiled white rice, boiled eggs and a little portion of greens by the side.

I went for the rice first. It was tasteless, but I didn’t mind. Then I tried the braised pork next. It was delicious.

Before I could get a hold of myself, I was trying to eat the last spoon of food on my plate without minding the noise that was made from my spoon clanking against the empty ceramic plate.

"I will get you more food." Kira turned sharply and dashed out of the room before I could respond. Also, she didn’t bother to take the plates with her.

Deidra smiled gently at me and said, "My lady, it’s good you are eating properly these days. You always pick at your food and barely meet the daily basic nutrient requirement."

Deidra thought I was ashamed for eating so hungrily and tried to comfort me, but I was not.

Instead, I was afraid.

Unlike she thought, I didn’t think it was normal for me to eat in that manner. Even when I ate alone comfortably in my room, I have never rushed my food.

I didn’t say anything to Deidra. I sat quietly in the same spot as she used a shawl to wrap around my shoulders.

I was grateful for that.

Kira returned in no time. She brought a bigger portion of food than the first round.

I ate until I was satisfied before gesturing for her to take the leftover food away.

"Did you get the food from the dining hall?" I asked her, trying to adjust my sitting position on the bed.

I had wanted to lie down after drinking a glass of water when Azul came in and said I wasn’t allowed to do that because I had just finished eating.

"No, my lady. I went straight to the kitchen," Kira replied.

I slowly nodded and looked away.

Somewhere in my heart, I was expecting one of them, Dennis, to ask about me. And I was also tempted to ask Kira if Draven had asked after me.

After a few minutes of sitting up, I laid back on the bed.

"How do you feel now, my lady?" Azul inquired, tucking me back in.

"Better."

Surprisingly, I was feeling better than before. I don’t know if it was the meds or the food that did the trick, but I was back to myself, a bit. And that saves me the trouble of thinking about how to deal with fever and my heat at the same time.

---

The fever was gone by the time I woke up the next morning, but the warmth remained.

Azul stared carefully at me as I slowly sat up on the bed after she woke me up.

"Good morning, my lady," she greeted, leaning away.

"Good morning, Azul." I returned her greeting, stretching my arms while battling to stifle my yawn when I caught the glow in her eyes. She was still watching me.

"Is there something on my face?" I inquired, immediately bringing my arms down. The sleep, gone from my eyes.

She shook her head. "In fact, there is nothing on your face."

My brows knitted. I didn’t understand what she meant, and I didn’t bother.

I got up from the bed just in time for Kira and Deidra to enter the room with two descent dresses in both hands, one in my favourite lavender colour while the other was deep crimson.

"Which one would you like to wear today, my lady?" Deidra inquired.

I didn’t waste time before choosing the purple dress. Not because it was my favourite, but because I didn’t want to wear anything red and inviting today.

My heat was going to explode tonight, I needed to tone down whatever sort of attraction from my side.
