Was it possible for a person to vomit blood so easily? Her condition seemed even more serious as the blood poured out at once.
"Sometimes this happens when I use my mana. It's not a big deal."
"But before I actually came in, I heard Sarah-nim muttering to herself 'When can I die'…..."
"You have a talent for eavesdropping. It would have been very useful if I had raised you as a spy."
Sarah interrupted May's words and waved her hand as if annoyed. May quickly realized that she had to shut up here and stepped back. However, looking at her complex face, it seemed that she had already misunderstood. Sarah wanted to clear up this misunderstanding, but she didn't know where to start and how to touch the subject. There seemed to be a rush of fatigue over her.
'......Is it a good choice to bring May in?'
After the death of the nanny character 'Sarah Millen', May Chenblun stayed by Claude's side until just before the heroine appeared. Although she was an extra character, she was still on the side of the male protagonist, so there were incidents and situations that were caused by her. Rather than throwing her away, it was Sarah's decision to teach her straight up, scold her, and put her next to Claude.
"I'm really tired now, so will you go out? Decorate the flowers so that Claude-nim can see them right away when he wakes up."
"Yes."
May bowed her head and went out of the room holding a basket with traces of Sarah's vomiting. Looking at her cautious attitude and walking, it seemed like she would handle it well without getting caught. This was to her liking. We would see if she had really reflected on herself.
'I think she misunderstood that I was dying soon, I wonder if it doesn't matter?'
Sarah was bothered by May's look at her with a complicated face. However, in order to explain this situation, Park Hyeyeon's existence must be explained first, which broke the magician's oath she shared with her disciples. If she broke this oath, she would lose all her mana.
So even if she wanted to explain, there was no way to do it. She explained that the reason she vomited blood was because Park Hyeyeon's body was dying, but even the disciples didn't believe it and were worried. It was probably harder to explain to others.
"Ah, I don't know."
Without further ado, she decided to go to sleep. Rest was the best way to soothe an upset stomach.
***
When she closed her eyes, her body, which had sunk heavily, suddenly became as light as a feather. When she felt as if her consciousness was being sucked into something very deep and dark, Sarah opened her eyes wide. It was the same feeling when Sarah woke up in Park Hyeyeon's body and Park Hyeyeon in Sarah's body.
'......Heok.'
Park Hyeyeon was seen breathing hard with a respirator in front of Sarah's widened eyes. She was relying on an oxygen respirator with a lot of machines that would prolong her life.
'This is me, right?'
Sarah unknowingly reached out to the other her. However, Sarah's hand passed by Park Hyeyeon's body.
'Don't tell me this is……!'
Only then did Sarah know the identity of the sense of incompatibility she felt when she faced Park Hyeyeon. 'She' shouldn't be able to see herself closing her eyes. But Sarah was looking down at 'her' right now. As if her soul had left her body.
'My hands are transparent. Mana is…..., I can't use it, so this is Korea.'
It was too vivid to be a dream, and it could not be explained as a reality. Sarah looked at Park Hyeyeon's face with her eyes closed. With a pale face and a frown on her forehead, it was safe to say that her skinny body was now nothing but bones. She didn't know she would lose weight like this, which she couldn't even lose in a diet. In the midst of this, Sarah smiled bitterly at the thought of this.
"Doctor Jung, did you get the results of the patient's test for Park Hyeyeon?"
At that time, the two doctors opened the door of the hospital room and walked in while talking. Sarah's appearance was also invisible to their eyes.
"The results came out......, it's really crazy. She not only had a heart attack during the night, but it also happened twice."
"I heard that. It's a simple contact accident, but how can it be that bad? Did you take a good picture of the head?"
"Of course. She has never shed any blood, but did you know that she even had a blood transfusion due to excessive blood loss?"
"I heard that."
A slight pulse of vein appeared on Sarah's forehead as she listened to the doctors' conversation.
'The fact that I vomited blood when I was in Sarah Millen's body also affected Park Hyeyeon's body. That's why now, even if I spill blood with this body, I only lack stamina and am fine.'
She felt that she was gradually dying, but when she realized this, she felt complicated. Even though the results of the research she had done with her disciples were being carried out successfully. Sarah looked down at Park Hyeyeon with an uneasy face. The doctors who could not see her like that continued the conversation.
"But what’s even more strange is that there is nothing wrong with her according to the test results."
"Really? No, it can't be."
"I know. Everything is fine except for the loss of heart function. Why can't she recover her consciousness……"
The doctors looked at Park Hyeyeon's condition with a frown on their faces and then went out of the hospital room with a deep sigh. As she listened to the story, she could see that Park Hyeyeon's condition was gradually getting worse, as intended.
'There is still a lot of magic remaining in that body.'
Only when this body died could all the remaining mana come over to Sarah Millen. If that was the case, it might be possible to completely seal or hopefully eliminate the curse-like power of Ethan and Claude. Since she didn't have to draw her mana through the soul that connected with Park Hyeyeon, she wouldn't have to vomit blood when in Sarah Millen's body.
Sarah raised her transparent hand and touched Park Hyeyeon's face. Then, she slowly lowered her hand and tried to grab the body as if she was trying to strangle Park Hyeyeon.
'I hope this body dies soon.'
A transparent drop of tears flowed from Sarah's eyes. While flowing along her jawline, the tears dripped down Park Hyeyeon's cheek. Then Sarah's eyes widened.
'I couldn't make any physical contact, so why the tears…...'
As soon as she was about to put her hand away, thinking like that.
'......!'
Park Hyeyeon opened her eyes.
***
Sarah opened her eyes as if she just awoke from a dream.
"Heok!"
She took a deep breath and lifted her upper body. Sarah grabbed her chest as her heart pounded and tightened in pain.
"Nanny!"
Her white vision gradually returned to Claude's voice. When she turned her head, Claude, who cried with a distorted face, held her hem tightly. As the pain in her heart subsided, it was tightened again in a different sense this time.
"Ah….. Claude-nim?"
"Are you completely awake? Are you okay? Are you still in pain?"
Claude poured out the questions without giving Sarah a chance to answer. Tears welling up in his big, round eyes ran down his plump cheeks. Sarah smiled slightly as she looked at the child's tear-filled face.
"I'm fine, Claude-nim."
She raised her hand and wiped away the tears flowing on Claude's cheek, rubbing his cheek against her palm. When the child's soft and moist cheeks were felt on her palm, a red flush came up on Sarah's cheeks.
'So cute. I'm happy……'
Sarah closed her eyes tightly and covered her mouth with the other hand. She felt like her troubled heart was purified by Claude's cuteness. However, Veron and Ronda, who were watching Sarah from behind Claude, looked different.
"Are you okay? I'll call the doctor right away."
"Even so, Duke-nim had been staying here and left just now. Since he hasn't left the mansion yet, I will inform Duke-nim right now."
Veron opened the door and ran out without Sarah having a chance to stop him. Then Ronda, who became pale, followed after him.
"Ah……"
Sarah looked at the door where the two of them had left with a troubled expression. With such an open door, she could see the faces of the servants sneaking into the room. And when she saw May, who was hardening her face to the fullest in that gap, Sarah beckoned quietly.
"......!"
May rushed into the room after being called by Sarah. She didn't forget to close the open door. She was a really quick-witted child.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay. But why is Claude-nim like this and why are the butler and the head maid like that?"
She just simply woke up from sleeping, but everyone reacted as if they were seeing a person who has died and come back to life.
"Does Nanny know how scared I was thinking that Nanny can't wake up!"
Claude cried and shouted at Sarah's words. It was Sarah who was embarrassed by his terrified voice. May, who was standing behind Claude, smirked at her as if her confused emotions were all showing up on her face.
