Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 636

Carissa stayed awake the entire time to watch over Leona, while Violet pulled up a chair to sit outside the room. No one dared enter.

Abigail sent meals for them, but Carissa couldn't eat a thing. Violet managed a few bites, but the image of Leona's body contorted in pain haunted her and made it hard to swallow.

In the middle of the night, Leona woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze and called out for Carissa, who had been holding her hand the whole time. When she heard Leona's voice, she squeezed her hand tightly. "I'm here. It's okay."

Ivy took the chance to feed the duchess some medicine. Leona took it obediently, but her eyelids grew heavy after a while and she drifted back to sleep. Yet, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. Carissa gently wiped them away. "It's okay. You've made it through the worst of it. It'll be fine now."

Leona's exhaustion was obvious from her complexion. It would take three doses of medicine for her to regain even a bit of strength. She woke up briefly to take the second dose, but quickly fell back asleep. Ivy rested for a while, then approached Carissa and whispered, "Lady Carissa, why don't you take a break? I can keep watch."

"No need. I'm not sleepy," Carissa replied, shaking her head. "You worked hard during the day, so you should get some rest. You'll still need to administer the medicine one more time before dawn."

"Yes. Prince Harvey has left, but Lady Heather is staying in the estate. She's just in the next room. She probably wants to stop you from taking Lady Leona away," Ivy replied.

"She won't be able to stop me. I'm determined to take her with me," Carissa firmly said.
