Episode 195

Elisha stopped by the drug store to get antipyretics. As expected, the fever went up that night. Elisha lay on her bed with the blanket wrapped around her.

And in the early evening she fell asleep without eating.

'My child. Give the child back…….'

And she had the nightmare she always had.

Cellars made by Lucerne. Trapped there, Elisha was interrogated and forcibly recalled her memories. From the next day she suffered from nightmares.

The day she became convinced that she could move Lucerne to some extent,

Since then, the fear of confinement itself has diminished. However……. Her memories of her past life that came to her mind drove Elisha mad.

'This bitch, where are you running away!'

Past life memories.

Elisha was accused of drug trafficking by Jacob and fled. As she fled, Elisha fell to the floor and hit her head on her pointed stone.

There was too much blood, too much blood. She thought at first she thought it was all over then she ever since she thought it was all over.

'I must have thought I was dead then.'

But she said she would die like Lucerne the day she kidnapped him.

Her memories of that time came back a long time later. From that point on, more painful memories came to mind one after another.

'At that time, the day I ran away after being accused of drug trafficking. I didn't die then.'

Elisha survived. And when she opened her eyes, she realized that Elisha had been unconscious for several days.

She had to live with a bandage around her head for a month or so. But she luckily tripped her foot the moment she hit her head. It left a big scar on her forehead, Elisha, but that was it. Half of her face was distorted with burns anyway, so her scars were barely visible.

'A person's vitality is absurdly strong.'

Elisha thought. Her doctor also clicked her tongue.

'Look at the health chain. He recovered surprisingly quickly. Actually, this is a wound that should have killed her concussion or suffered more.'

Jacob snorted at the doctor's opinion.

'Even if you die, you can't leave this family. You stupid bitch Soon the gallows will be ready for you. When the trial starts, say it's all your fault. Got it? You'd better be gentle. No one will listen to you anyway.'

Lucerne was again on the fence. He hid himself like a hermit and slowly prepared his revenge.

No one was by Elisha's side. To anyone……. He couldn't ask for help. She had to fend for herself.

*​ *​ *​

It's been a month since I was imprisoned by Jacob like that. Elisha's body was strange. Her stomach felt nauseous and she vomited up anything she ate. My fever rose and I fell asleep a lot.

And she didn't moon.

There were two or three months until the trial. From then on, Elisha went in and out of prison for her investigation, but her recruit was still with Jacob.

It was common for security engineers to detain a person for a day or two once they started an investigation. Elisha then became more and more mentally shaken and went mad.

Meanwhile, a woman in her prison saw Elisha. She was a woman who worked at a drug store in a back alley nearby, and she often went in and out of the detention center to see if she was doing something illegal.

She said, 'No matter how much you treat a pregnant woman like this, you're doing too much.'

'Yes?'

Elisha doubted her ears.

'You are pregnant. Ruler. Just look at Mac. I see many of these symptoms, so I know it when I see it.'

There was only one man she had slept with in her entire life, so it was obvious whose child it was.

Unfortunately, Elisha's feelings at that time bordered on her despair. Elisha found her book about her seeds.

Elisha had to make her choice.

*​ *​ *​

Two or three cortisans went out laughing loudly.

Elisha gave them a hefty tip with her money set aside from her. As they went outside, Elisha covered her face and got into Jacob's bed.

It's okay, because last night she put sleeping pills in Jacob's glass. Elisha closed her eyes.

It wasn't difficult to pretend to sleep with a man like this. She could have done more than that.

“Jacob, you can't kill me. Because I have their child.”

Elisha looked at Jacob and Carola expressionlessly, she said.

“So if you want to send me to the death penalty, send me. I'm going to get out of here somehow and let the headmistress know that I'm pregnant with your child. The head of the family is very obsessed with his offspring. Should I just leave you alone?”

Okay. The doom so predestined has come.

*​ *​ *​

'Do you think Carola doesn't know? Do you think I will just leave you alone? I won't let you go That child is Jacob's child. Really. What a scary year! How can I repay the kindness you have taken care of and taken care of? You're a bitch with no conscience. She hurt Carol like this, how much, how much…….'

'I guess it doesn't matter. The madam tried to steal Lucerne's seed. I remember that very well.'

'…….'

'This is Jacob's child. If you don't cooperate……. I will tell Jacob everything the madam has planned for that day. I know Jacob's personality. I have a strong sense of self-esteem, and when it comes to Lucerne, I am conscious of everything and have an inferiority complex.'

'…….'

'Jacob will never forgive you if he finds out what you did. I don't even know if they really want to kill me. You know how crazy this family is.'

Elisha spoke calmly and calmly.

'So, make Muto shut up. Persuade or not, that's up to you. If Jacob doubts the bloodline of this child. At that time, the madam will also be finished. You will have to protect this child.'

Elisha said then that she learned how to be just like them and she learned to be evil.

But she didn't feel guilty at all. Elisha could intimidate anyone. She could do anything

She never had a family of her own. She was always alone.

After her disastrous crush, she almost killed her only loved one. As a result, she was left with a child in her belly like a bee.

However……. She only wanted to save her child.

At the end of her life, Elisha met despair paved with hope.

But I will never let go. I will protect this child. I thought so.

Elisha thought Carola was a woman who was playing around with her life. Carola lived her life in her greed, but she did it not because she lacked it, but because she had nothing she didn't have.

Carola then looked at Elisha with an eerie expressionless expression. It was Carola's most unfiltered emotion that Elisha had ever seen, and it was hatred.

'Let's see. I will chase you to hell and take revenge. What do you think would happen if someone like you cheated on me? Carola will definitely punish you…….'

But Elisha was already well aware of her own destiny. She was so she wasn't scared at all.

*​ *​ *​

The child thus born was the child Carola had longed for. Red eyes in her dark hair. Her face revealed the characteristics of her family.

Jacob's mouth fell open.

'So this child……. A guardian deity dwells there?'

'Yes. The fortune teller Muto even fainted the first time he saw him. She will make her Carola's child. She said great powers will bloom, I can't believe it. We did it! She's not Lucerne, you gave birth to the child of prophecy!'

'It's a bit unfortunate that she's a daughter. She's good She did well to give birth to a child. Hey Elisha. You. I'll save her life because she made a contribution!'

'What are you doing? Just kill it Jacob. If you're going to raise Carola's child anyway, that bitch is a hindrance. Phew, she's worth pretending to have a baby for ten months. That's fine now. Everything went well.'

And Elisha was imprisoned again.

Until the birth of her child, her memories were a series of sorrows.

But her memories after giving birth to her child……. There were really few. It reminds me sparsely, and even if it does, it seems like a very distant thing. It touched me faintly, as if looking at a distant painting.

It was as if he was observing himself through someone else's eyes.

*​ *​ *​

The child Elisha gave birth to was the child of Lucerne. But stupid Jacob was tricked. And Jacob started behaving strangely.

'Crazy guy.'

Jacob entered the room where Elisha was locked up and started talking about various things. It was mainly appeasement, but if you wish, you can make her a concubine. It was like that.

'Hey. My biological mother is a genius. She said she was an idiot. I've lived my whole life being compared to Lucerne. It's strange. Even for Marco, people don't compare him to Lucerne. But compared to me. They say I'm stupid and stupid compared to him.'

By that time, Jacob was a bit unstable in his mind. It was after everyone knew the secret hidden in Undine's coffin.

'Haha, can you believe it? That guy Lucerne That hateful bastard has everything. Her real mother is the great Saint Undine. My father was such a beautiful, perfect, terribly clever man. Everything would have been different if he had been alive. Then I might have grown up resembling my father even a little bit, right?

Anyway, Lucerne is a monster. He said he did great things all by himself.

How do I beat that?

It's all because of my mother's bad bloodline.

Besides, my mother died at will. After all, nobody loved me.

Okay? You and I have children too……. Who will he look like? What if my poor birth mother's lineage is transferred?

The head of the household said you were an outstanding woman. You were so pretty when I first saw you? Would it be different if she married you and not Carola?'

Jacob often talked about his bloodline morbidly and was obsessed with Stevan. He gathered any information about the dead Stevan and he tried to resemble him.

Elisha was in no mood to accept Jacob, and whatever he said sounded like a dog barking. But thanks to that, Elisha heard the information when Jacob and Carola stole Undine's body. She heard imperfect things in that part. About the twisted fate of the family and the stigma imposed on Lucerne.

The complete truth I came to know. It was so shocking that I remembered it clearly. Even though Elisha at the time was half out of her mind, so she couldn't be.

'Even a photon becomes sane if it gets involved in a crazy family.'

Around that time, Elisha had thoughts like that.

*​ *​ *​

Jacob is a child whose family power is manifested. He is credited with giving birth to a child with Ramun, and he is designated as the next heir to the Cartier family.

Fortunately, Jacob was no longer interested in women. And Jacob's personality has also changed a bit, so he stopped slapping Elisha. And since he had lost interest in women, he never laid a finger on Elisha.

'My. What if I give birth to an idiot who looks like my mother? Isn't that right?'

After giving birth to the perfect daughter, Jacob seems to start having some strange thoughts. His second child is my biological mother. He feared that he might give birth to an idiot resembling Effie with freckles.

He naturally didn't even sleep with Carola. He even seemed to be taking pills to suppress his libido.

Her Carola wanted to have a child of her own, but her pregnancy didn't go well either, and when Jacob started to shun her, she turned all her arrows on her Elisha.

'Huh, that fortune teller was right. From the moment he first saw you, he was on fire. You're here to take everything from Carola to her. You're such a bad bitch.'

*​ *​ *​

But Elisha didn't even suffer much at that time.

Elisha was insane most of the time. Giving birth to her child was thanks to her wisdom that bordered on madness.

By that time, she remembered mainly her appearance as she sat there idly by.

'Abu, ah. Boo.'

However……. There was a moment she remembered vividly.

She had never hugged him.

The child was small, pretty, and gentle. She looked at Elisha and she smiled and her cheeks were white. He was warm and small. It smelled like warm milk.

Weird. You are so pretty in my eyes

What is Ramun? What does it matter if there is such a thing or not? Why doesn't everyone talk about important things?

My hands are so small, but my body is warm. The whole body is so lovely.

'I miss you. My daughter How big was it now? Do you still have small hands and wiggle your feet? Will he still smile when he sees me?'

They didn't show Elisha her daughter…….

That was so painful I lived madly in longing for a long time. I wanted to hug my baby one more time. That was his only wish.

During that time she kept a journal and wrote letters.

It was mainly a letter to her daughter. She never once told me she loved me.

She was so helpless and powerless that she didn't even deserve to hold her beloved daughter. But she loved him so much…….

*​ *​ *​

Bang bang.

Someone knocked loudly on the door. Elisha didn't have the strength to open her door and put a blanket over her head.

'Who……. Annoying…….'

She continued to dream, then came to her senses for a while before falling asleep again. She was so sick that she woke up at dawn.

'…… I'm hungry. I need to take medicine.'

In the morning she will have to ask Mrs. Seton to call her doctor. She thought so But she really couldn't budge.

'Being alone when you're sick……. It's a little tough.'

At that moment, I thought of it without realizing it. I just want to drink a sip of water. It was really annoying and difficult. There was no strength at all at her fingertips.

I was so sad that I burst into tears.

I hated this moment. Once the body is at its limit and her mind sinks to the floor. The memories she kept in her box kept coming back to her.

Bloody red cloth.

It will definitely appear in my next dream, so I didn't want to go back to sleep. Tears flowed helplessly from my eyes.

'…… Lucerne.'

You know nothing The little life that existed between us. How pretty was the boy she had never seen before in her life. It's white, soft, and warm. How cute she laughed.

Are you smart enough to recognize a mother who has only hugged you twice?

But she had to make him the child of her enemy. I had to watch Jacob use that child to become the head of the household.

The wheel of life of Lucerne and Elisha did not fit in the first place. Lucerne may have had no intentions……. Always out of sync

Perhaps it was because he was too high up, and Elisha was too easy to trample down.

When Lucerne acts to her own advantage, Elisha is crushed.

It was the same in her previous life. When Lucerne showed her interest in her Elisha, her Carola bullied her with her more ruthless behavior.

After Lucerne accuses Jacob of drug trafficking, Elisha is forced to take the blame. This is because the store Jacob used to traffic in drugs was opened in the name of Elisha.

But the foolish choice was up to Elisha……. Elisha unreservedly loved Lucerne and she approached him, and she almost ruined his life.

'I……. You must be really stupid. Why am I thinking of him even at this moment?'

Maybe it's the wrong relationship at all. In the first place, Lucerne didn't even know of Elisha's existence in those countless moments.

In the end she was alone.

Even when she had children, even when she gave birth to them the hard way and was taken away.

Even the moments when she married Lucerne and fell in love with him……. He didn't know that Elisha's mind existed.

And so it will be in the future. He doesn't know if she should let go of her mind now she has to move on. He has to accept that he is alone so there will be progress in life next time.

There will be no reversal.

Maybe. I thought so.

“Don't move. The fever is high.”

Elisha felt her large hands caressing her own forehead. Her hand felt very cozy and trustworthy.

'Lucerne?'

If I hadn't heard it wrong, it was definitely his voice.

“Yes.”

He replied. It was a silent answer, and it was a very feminine woman.

Throughout my past and present lives, there were many difficult moments in life. There was also a psychological ordeal. But, when……. It was the first time he had been by my side.

The wheels of the cart came together for the first time.
