Worried Expressions

'He should be fine' the doctor said after conducting a medical examination of Alexander's body. 'Looks like he was trying to move his body but as usual his exhaustion took over and he fell unconscious. I have not found any serious issues on the other hand I have never seen him sleeping so peacefully in all his life.'

'Yes, young master frequently endured nighttime fevers and rarely slept in peace.' the young maid said with a sad expression.

Angela was praying while holding Alexander's frail hand 'I pray the goddess for she is the Almighty, to please heal my pitiful child.'

'Angela, you have been praying for last 5 years but it has done no good, the only thing your goddess has done is curse him more. For I see nothing but a dying child suffering since the day he was born. And all the doctors have already concluded he's not going to see his teenage am I wrong doctor Ron?' Lucius asked the doctor.

'Lucius! What blasphemy is this? How can the goddess curse his own child and don't speak such negative things near your child.' Angela shouted.

'I am only speaking the truth Angela with all the prayers, fasting and donations you have done to the temple our son should have been cured by now but nothing has changed. I am not hopeful anymore the only thing I've seen on my boy's face is pain it sometimes make me think should he really suffer to the end; does he even want to live such a wretched life will ending his suffering earlier not be the correct choice.'

Hearing this Angela couldn't keep her cool and grabbed him by the collar 'Lucius! you will not touch even a hair on my child's body.'

Before she could say anything doctor interfered 'Now now my lord, my lady please calm down we should not make a scene here it's not good for young master.' 

Realizing what she's doing Angela apologized ' I am sorry Lucius, I just got out of control and, and I...' looking at her panicked state Lucius felt sad and took her in embrace - ' It is alright dear, I was being insensitive of your feelings and spat all that nonsense. Please forgive me, I just don't want my child to suffer more.'

'Now now my Lord, you didn't hear me completely.' - Lucius and Angela both looked at each other and then turned their questioning gaze towards Ron.

'What I want to say is that there are signs of recovery in his body. His pulse has never been this stable and the only signs I see are all positive. You should be thankful to the goddess and take good care of young master.'

"Thud" hearing this Angela fell to her knees and started praying again 'I thank the goddess for her mercy she has shown to my child and I pray again so that goddess may bless my child.'

On the other hand, Lucius asked for confirmation 'Are you serious?' to which Ron nodded and confirmed.

"Thank goodness!' seeing this the young maid finally released a sigh of relief as she was too overwhelmed with all the happenings and was worried sick for his dear young master.

'Did you hear that Lucius goddess have heard our prayers. She hasn't abandoned her child.' to which Lucius nodded and said - 'Yes, you are right my dear I shall pay temple a visit and ask forgiveness for my blasphemy.'

'Doctor Ron, I request you to take care of my son once again.' to which Ron smiled and said - 'It is my duty my lord. I shall write prescribe him some good medicine and a new diet so that he makes a healthy recovery.'

'Bella make sure that young master takes his medicine on time and eat his fill of his prescribed diet.' To which the young maid nodded. - 'I will make sure of it sir.' and the doctor nodded - 'Well that's all, now let's not disturb young master's rest and give him some peace.'

'Yes, Angela let's go and Bella make sure you take good care of him.' Lucius commanded.

To which Angela saluted - 'Yes my lord.' 

Sometime later in a different room in the castle - 'Look like that goddess has finally heard that pious bitch's cries. Well even goddess can get annoyed by all the whining, still it changes nothing that bastard is still on his deathbed, I don't think he will be worth anything with that weak body.'

'hahaha...'
