Chapter 33: 33

No matter how much she tried to huddle herself up, he still took a seat next to Vivian—in the end.

“Why are you crying over here?”

Vivian was still unable to utter a single word. She then looked at the physician with her face that was still wet with tears that hadn’t even dried yet.

Both of them were a bit suspicious as Vivian was already there at such a time when the physician had run into her by chance. Nevertheless, neither of them were being wary towards one another.

“Are you one of the maids employed for the county?”

Startled by the physician’s shocking words, Vivian’s eyes immediately opened wide.

Vivian was about to exclaim before she hurriedly turned her head—quite belatedly. Nevertheless, her expression was already reflected clearly in his keen eyes.

“There aren’t a lot of families that could provide maid uniforms for their staffs around here. So, I just made a random guess, but it turns out to be that I was right after all.”

He observed through Vivian, who was still keeping her mouth shut—albeit her continuous trembling.

When he saw her disheveled hair, coupled with the apparent marks of footprints, he started to get an inkling. Besides, those imprints are from a woman’s shoes.

The physician then immediately recalled the rumors, which he had recently forgotten.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to tell others.”

He reassured her before catching a hold of Vivian’s hand. Unlike the frightened Vivian, his hand compassionately lifted her clothes to reveal the affected area.

“Did you receive this wound from the hits by the Young Countess?”

Vivian’s head immediately turned away in response to the physician’s words.

Even though he was absolutely right, Vivian just couldn’t bring herself to agree with him.

She wouldn’t like to leave a bad impression on the Grand Duke. At the very least, she didn’t want any vicious rumors to spread while she was masquerading as Alexia herself.

“Then, who was the one that hit you?”

Vivin didn’t answer at all—just like how she had been responding up till this moment.

“Sorry. I’ve been asking you something that’s too personal it seems. I’m just wondering because my friend is somehow related to that family—which was the main reason I asked about it.”

Does he not feel embarrassed at all? He was being excessively chatty while opening up his bag at the same time. Then, he began to smear some medicine over her wounds. He looked very serious when he was tending her as he had to rely simply on a sole lamplight.

“Don’t worry. I’m the only one who is here right now.”

He kept on talking to Vivian, just like he was trying to soothe her. Only after he had seen all of her wounds meticulously, did he finally pull away his face that had been incredibly close to hers.

He eventually wore a content expression, but the moment he glanced at Vivian’s face, his face immediately turned stiff.

“Your eyes have become red now, due to the tears you shed. You poor thing.”

Vivian quickly moved away as soon as his hand had touched her eyes. At that moment, her hair  had just passed through the opening of his fingertips.

Thus, making Vivian’s gaze to be properly intertwined with the physician’s for the first time ever.

“It’s somehow peculiar. Why do you remind me of the Young Countess whenever I look at you?”

He gently grabbed her flowing hair with his fingers before touching it. His eyes gradually deepened at the moment he had stroked her hair that seemed too soft for a mere commoner.

“Is it because of this similar hair color?”

Once she heard those words, Vivian reckoned that she couldn’t stay any longer as she hurriedly stood up. Her hair was tugged by his hand a little, but it only lasted for a while.

As soon as he let go of Vivian’s bright red hair, she immediately moved away from the physician.

“Are you leaving now?”

Vivian finally showed her intent to him for the first time. The physician immediately drew a bright smile while waving his hand when he saw how Vivian had given a slight nod.

“Good bye. I truly hope we’ll meet again next time.”

She was really thankful for the treatment, but she never wanted to see him anymore. Soon after, Vivian was already busy running out from there before she ultimately arrived at the county.
