I Bought the Villains With Money - CH 16.1

“It’s so distracting.”

Cassion pushed my hand away. Anyway, I trembled next to Cassion.

I was so glad to see the brusque Cassion. I was just happy that he woke up.

It was painful to see a child who was supposed to be cared for was unconscious for a long time.

I even felt worse because I felt guilty for Cassion.

In the past, I turned a blind eye to Cassion.

I didn’t turn a blind eye on purpose, but I couldn’t help feeling guilty when I saw Cassion’s condition.

I came to Cassion to propose marriage, but there was also an apology for my wrongdoings behind it.

‘It wasn’t a situation where I could confidently say that it wasn’t intentional either.’

I knew that Cassion was in the palace and that Julia and Dyson didn’t like him.

‘I was the same.’

I also used violence against Cassion.

It was in the form of overlooking violence.

“How is your body? How do you feel?”

I asked while changing a wet towel that fell off Cassion’s forehead.

He didn’t say anything.

Did he fall asleep again? His eyes were tightly closed.

I carefully reached out and removed each strand of hair attached to Cassion’s forehead.

He flinched his eyebrows every time my finger touched his forehead.

“It’s obvious that you’re pretending to sleep. Should I stop talking? Are you feeling sluggish?”

“…No….”

Cassion replied late.

“Have you been here long?”

Cassion, who finally opened his eyes properly, asked in a hoarse voice.

I sat straight in the chair and smiled.

“I guess, half a day?”

The sun was already rising. It was night when I came.

Somehow, I spent the night in Cassion’s palace.

“Are you nursing me?”

“I changed the wet towels and gave you medicine. So, you can say I’m nursing you.”

“Medicine?”

Cassion was immediately wary.

If you come back to your senses after taking medicine, you would know that it wasn’t poisoned; however, he was like a cat who met a stranger setting up a boundary.

“It’s a medicine to lower your fever and protect your organs. Seeing that you are awake, I know for sure that the medicine works well.”

Cassion was surprised to learn that there was a medicine that worked for him.

Therefore he muttered with a strange expression.

“Thank you.”

“Pardon?”

What did I just hear?

“I won’t say it twice.”

Looking at Cassion’s reaction, I heard it right.

“Did you just say thank you?”

He closed his mouth tight while his ears went red.

So cute.

Did you say thank you to me even though you were so shy that you didn’t want to say it twice? Now that I had seen the whole picture, I could say that I passed with full marks to be a good mother by taking care of a helpless child who was on the verge of dying.

Oh my, what a friendly kid. Should I pat your head?

I reached out my hand, but soon I put it down.

Cassion was different from Rupert.

Unlike Rupert, who liked to be cute at times, Cassion made an expression of swallowing a glass of rotten milk whenever I thought he was cute.

“I did something praise-worthy. I hired an incredible doctor for Your Highness, and I also stayed next to Your Highness all night changing wet towels.”

“You didn’t sleep at all?”

Cassion glanced at me.

I smiled at him, slowly showing worries.

I was two years older than Cassion, but I was also a child.

Such a child stayed up all night; it was natural for a conscientious person to worry and feel sorry.

“No. Beauty sleeps a lot. I planned to stay up all night, but I couldn’t. I slept from time to time. Next to Your Highness.”

“What? Next to me? On my bed? Here?”

Cassion quickly sat up.

It was quite an energetic move for a sick person.

“No. Here.”

I pointed at the chair I sat on with a straight face.

Cassion’s bed was spacious, and there were many empty spaces, but I wasn’t that shameless to covet a sick person’s bed.

Cassion exhaled deeply as a significant relief washed over him. Did you hate sharing a bed that much?

Surprisingly, he must be territorial with his stuff.

“Anyway, are you feeling better?”

I had to ask the question again.

Cassion, who leaned against the bed head, touched his body here and there and nodded slowly.

“You’re right. Surprisingly.”

Rupert’s medicine worked very well. I would tell him when I got back.

“Can we talk?”

“Sure.”

Cassion drank some water.

He asked for cold water because he wanted to wake up entirely, but I told him he could only drink lukewarm water.

“Your Highness, do you usually lose your consciousness like this?”

“Sometimes?”

Cassion said insignificantly.

“Sometimes, you collapsed for more than a day?”

Cassion nodded and affirmed my suspicion.

It was not a trivial problem!

“Even if I am being careful, if something unexpected happens…”

“What happened?”

The fact he collapsed when something unexpected happened meant that just before I arrived, something did happen.

I needed to know what had happened.

“Why did you take care of me? If I was sleeping, you could just leave.”

Cassion secretly tried to change the subject.

That wasn’t the problem here.

“How could I leave someone sick alone? What if you die? Last night, it would be weird if you didn’t die.”

“What’s wrong with dying?”

“Oh my gosh! You should hear what you said. Death is a natural thing that everyone will go through, but isn’t it a terrible thing to go through at our age? Your Highness, think about your age.”

An 11-year-old was talking like an old man who had seen the world.

I didn’t think I was in the place of scolding a 13 years old boy either.
