Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 540: She is suffering!
Back to the Basarisk, the healer had no choice but to halt in her track after the queen’s order. She shot her a strange glance, confusion puzzling across her expression. The healer couldn’t understand that why Ayra was acting so secretive all of sudden?
Ayra teared her blank eyes from the doorway. Keeping them stuck on the used glass, her mind was occupied with multiple thoughts. It was hard to doubt someone whom you love the most. She didn’t even think that someone she would have to doubt Cedric for his actions. But the curiosity was worst. Except that liquid, she didn’t drink anything special nor did she had slipped on this floor. She had zero idea about the cause behind her miscarriage.
After the healer had went closer, Ayra picked up the glass in her shaky hands, giving it to her before whispering nervously,
" Take a better look of this glass and tell me, what kind of tonic was it."
Feeling the queen’s eyes on her, the healer simply nodded and turned to put out something to take a small portion from the glass. After she collected the sample, she went back at a corner to performance something inside others colorful liquids.
Ayra waited over the bed numbly. Her teeth clenched harder and she solemnly prayed that her assumptions were proven wrong. Because if Cedric did something like that, she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself ever in this life.
Minutes passed as Ayra waited for the healer’s result that didn’t come yet. Her hands had already begun to fondle against the bedsheet. The race of her heartbeat didn’t slow down and it worsened in moments. Ayra swallowed thickly and determined not to breakdown.
How could she let her peasant see how weak she felt because of her emotional struggles?
She squeezed her own palms and breathed heavily to calm her racing heart. Moments later, the healer opened her mouth with a pale face,
" My lady... this...who gave you this?"
Ayra snapped her eyes at the healer and instantly predicted the worst outcome. Keeping her calm composure, she asked back quickly,
" What.. what is it..healer? What tonic was that?"
Her body begun to feel numb slowly. There had been moments when a strong hybrid could also feel this much vulnerable because of love. Be unfaithful in a relationship could be worse.
The healer walked forward to her with a tester in her hand. Ayra saw how the color of that leftover tonic had turned purple inside the tester. She didn’t know the meaning behind this but from healer’s expression, she could feel the bad outcome already. Ayra urged, loosing patience from herself,
" Just say it!"
The healer nodded explaining in her professional voice and at the same time wondering who managed to get this powerful medicine in this kingdom that hadn’t been supplied for years,
" My lady, this is a very effective old birth control pill. It take effects within a day and can make sure that you won’t fall pregnant. But the reaction can be horrible just like yours. So I am guessing that..."
The healer paused midway, gulping hard to see the queen’s face slowly loosing color. Ayra mumbled forcing her tears to stay on its place,
" So what is it, healer?"
The healer drew deep breath before continuing again,
" So I am guessing that if you drunk this medicine after you fell pregnant, this might be the reason behind your miscarriage because this medicine will make sure that you aren’t pregnant. No wonder, you were bleeding so much."
Ayra’s mouth fell agaped in disbelief, a choked sob broke through her throat. So, it was Cedric. All this while, she thought that her clumsiness was the reason behind her miscarriage. It was always him. He was the person who took her baby away. Her husband was the person who didn’t let her enjoy of becoming a mother.
How could he do this to her? How could he give her so much pain without telling her? Then, was everyone right about calling him a pathetic demon who never loved anyone? That’s right! If he loved her truly, he couldn’t have hurt her this way.
Closing her eyes tightly, Ayra let her tears fall relentlessly and squeezed one word out breathlessly,
" Leave..me.. alone..."
Meanwhile, Cedric had just received the news when he was waiting for his guards to return to him. He wanted to be assured that Roaxana’s existence were destroyed from this world so that he could relax and focus on something else. But the news of Ayra’s sickness broke through the castle and he was informed by maid that Ayra had gone in unconscious state. The most scared person was Franchise who prayed that nothing had gone because of that tonic.
Once he went for Ayra’s room, they saw everyone gathered around the door. Worry crossed across their features. Cedric’s chest tightened uncomfortably in tension and went up to Alexander. Alexander didn’t hide his wrath anymore just because he was the king here,
" Where did you go when my sister is suffering?"
Cedric didn’t mind his words as he knew that how the brothers treasured their sister. Besides, it was his fault to not appear in her side at this moment as a responsible husband. He couldn’t wait to tell her sorry and hug her in his embrace.
Exhaling, Cedric finally parted his lips to speak,
" What happened to her all of sudden? She was okay this morning."
Alexander finally snapped his gaze at Cedric with a painful expression. His expression was troubled before spatting his words out,
" Did you know that she was pregnant?"
The question made Cedric’s breath stopping for a while. He looked up at Alexander in disbelief and gave him a small head shaking response. Alexander sighed staring blankly at the door to crash Cedric’s entire world for the second time,
" Well, then congratulations for not accompanying her at this crucial moment. She has miscarried somehow."
