The Beloved New Daughter-In-Law of the Wolf Mansion - Chapter 121

Kendrick stared blankly at Linsy, then carefully shut the door so the child wouldn’t wake up.

 

Then, he used his power to cast a shadow over Linsy’s room door.

 

Then, he used his power to cover the door of Linsy’s room with a shadow.

 

It was supposed to serve as a sound barrier.

 

‘The maids will go back and forth in the hallways all morning.’

 

Kendrick decided not to wake her up because it would be too noisy in the middle of the night.

 

Kendrick asked Ethan quietly as he walked down the aisle.

 

“Didn’t Linsy cry?”

 

Rinsey used to be sensitive when it came to Arsene.

 

She was especially sensitive to Arsene being sick.

 

Of course, everyone in Yeckhart Mansion was sensitive to Arsene’s illness.

 

‘Linsy is especially like that.’

 

Maybe it’s because she came to Yeckhart’s mansion to treat Arsene.

 

When Linsy was seven, she worried that she would be kicked out if she couldn’t heal Arsene.

 

‘As the years passed, that side almost disappeared….’

 

Still, she still took Arsene’s illness seriously as if it were her responsibility.

 

She seemed to be doing it even more because she knew that she couldn’t completely cure Arsene with her ability.

 

“I’m afraid she might have cried….”

 

Kendrick said, blurring the end of his speech.

 

He was worried about the sick Arsene, of course, but I was also worried about Lin Shi, who was surprised to see Arsene not getting better even after using her powers.

 

“I didn’t see the situation at the time, but… According to Mr. Hern, she looked surprised but didn’t cry.”

 

Kendrick nodded in response to Ethan’s words.

 

“The baby bird in our house has grown up.”

 

It seems like it was just yesterday that she always had tears in her eyes.

 

It is pitiful and admirable to think that a small child would have held back tears with dignity.

 

Kendrick promised to hug Linsy and comfort her when she woke up.

 

As he followed Kendrick down the spiral stairs, Ethan asked.

 

“Did you visit the Snake Territory safely?”

 

“Yes, I heard some unpleasant news.”

 

Kendrick said as he took his coat off and gave it to Ethan.

 

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he hadn’t even taken off his coat because he was checking on Arsene and Linsy’s conditions.

 

Ethan accepted Kendrick’s coat familiarly and handed it to the maid beside him.

 

“Do you mean there’s bad news?”

 

When Ethan asked, Kendrick wrinkled his face as if he was tired of talking for a while.

 

Ethan took a step back without asking further questions.

 

Kendrick tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth.

 

“When the day comes, we will talk. It’s too late now, and it’s not a problem that can be solved right away.”

 

When Kendrick gestured for him to step away, Ethan bowed deeply to him.

 

“Have a good night, my Lord.”

 

Ethan quickly disappeared from Kendrick’s sight. Perhaps he wanted to go to see Arsene.

 

Kendrick opened the door to his room. It was a neat and tidy room, as usual.

 

Kendrick loosened his tie and washed his face dry as if tired.

 

Was it because he was tired all the time, or maybe it was because Arsene and Linsy’s condition wasn’t as bad as he had feared, and he was relaxed?

 

Gray wolf ears rose above Kendrick’s head, which had been disorganized.

 

Unlike the bird clan, the wolf clan didn’t have much resistance to being incompletely shapeshifted, so Kendrick didn’t take it too seriously.

 

As Kendrick swept his hair, his gray ears naturally lay down.

 

“I must have been tired too…”

 

Kendrick murmured and sighed. It was understandable that he was tired.

 

He was nervous all the time because of Giles flowers, then the children’s first shapeshift overlapped, and when they said that Arsene was sick, he even used his powers forcibly and returned to the mansion in an instant.

 

But there wasn’t time to be tired, so Kendrick pushed his ears back even though he didn’t want to.

 

The gray wolf ears quickly disappeared, leaving only Kendrick’s gray hair.

 

‘When the day comes, I should look again to see if there are traces of Giles flowers circulating within the wolf clan.’ 

 

Of course, in the meantime, there was no trace of it being distributed within the wolf clan.

 

Now that it was revealed that Giles pollen was circulating within the snake clan, he couldn’t be relaxed.

 

After Kendrick changed his clothes, he immediately left the room.

 

He thought of going to Arsene again.

 

***

 

“What about Arsene?”

 

As soon as I opened my eyes, I grabbed Betty and asked.

 

Betty was up and making the bed and cleaning the room much earlier than I was.

 

After confirming that I had woken up, Betty brought me water and said,

 

“Young Master. I think he needs to rest today… Can you play alone?”

 

“Eung… Is Arsene still in a lot of pain?”

 

Betty said, wiping my face with lukewarm washing water.

 

“But don’t worry too much, Lady, because I hear his condition is getting better. Would you like to have breakfast in your room? Even the Lord doesn’t eat breakfast today, so I think it would be nice to have it in your room.”

 

“Is Father here?”

 

When I asked with my eyes wide open, Betty nodded.

 

“Yes, last night he got a call that the Young Master was ill and came back right away.”

 

“I see.”

 

I nodded. I had something to say to Kendrick, so it was a good thing.

 

Betty looked at me with a smile as if to answer where to eat breakfast.

 

“Then bring it to the room.”

 

“Yes, then please wait a little.”

 

Betty took the water and went out. I sat quietly on the bed and then ran to one side of the room.

 

It was the wall facing Arsene’s room.

 

I was about to guess Arsene’s condition by eavesdropping.

 

However.

 

‘…I can’t hear anything?’

 

I frowned and held my breath, concentrating on listening to the sound on the other side of the wall.

 

But no sound was heard.

 

It’s usually soundproof, but it wasn’t to this extent.

 

I soon gave up on eavesdropping, sat quietly on the bed, and waited for Betty.

 

I was thinking of asking to see Arsene after breakfast.

 

‘I… shouldn’t use my power.’

 

I made a promise by squeezing and opening my small palms.

 

I still couldn’t forget the red light that shimmered in my hand.

 

Come to think of it, I think the red light burned for a while when I filled out the marriage papers in the temple.

 

‘At that time, I thought it was a problem with the papers or the temple and moved on….’

 

I had a strong thought that maybe it wasn’t the temple’s problem, it might be my problem.

 

After waiting for a while, Betty came up with breakfast on a tray.

 

Today’s menu was a ham and cheese sandwich, fruit salad, and warm button mushroom soup.

 

Betty set breakfast neatly on the little table next to it.

 

I sat down and took a spoonful of warm soup first.

 

When I put it in my mouth and mumbled it, I felt as if the tension from the night before was relieved a little.

 

As I continued to eat the soup, I held the spoon in my hand and asked Betty.

 

“But Betty. Is Father busy today? You said he skipped the breakfast….”

 

“Yes, I think he’s busy. But what’s the matter?”

 

“Eung? No.”

 

I shook my head. If Kendrick was busy, I didn’t mean to take his time and say it.

 

“But Betty, if I have breakfast and wait… Can I see Arsene?”

 

Last night, I kept thinking of the little wolf that was in pain.

 

When I asked cautiously, Betty pondered for a moment before answering.

 

“I will ask Mr. Hern. Maybe just a quick look would be fine.”

 

“Ung, thank you.”

 

I nodded.

 

Soon after a simple breakfast, Mr. Hern allowed me to meet Arsene.

 

Knock knock.

 

I knocked on the door, and a maid from inside opened it.

 

“Lady, please come in.”

 

I took the maid’s hand and headed towards the bed where Arsene was lying.

 

Arsene was still in his wolf form.

 

On the large bed, the little gray wolf was still wheezing with his mouth open.

 

I asked Mr. Hern.

 

“Arsene… Is he okay? Because of me…”

 

“No, Lady. It’s not because of the Lady, so don’t think like that. Besides, he’s slightly better than last night, so he’ll be all right soon.”

 

Hern said while looking at me as if to comfort me.

 

I nodded and sat down slightly on the bed Arsene was lying on.

 

“Arsene, are you okay?”

 

Carefully stroking his little head, the gray wolf slowly opened its eyes.

 

I could feel the blue eyes staring at me clearly.

 

Arsene rubbed his head slowly in the palm of my hand.

 

However, perhaps because of his lack of energy, he quickly dropped his head.

 

I held back my tears and gently stroked Arsene.

 

“It will be fine, Arsene.”

 

You’ll get well soon.

 

I can’t cure you, but—.

 

I had to swallow the latter words behind my throat without being able to spit them out.

 

Just as Mr. Hern said Arsene should get some rest, I had to leave Arsene’s room immediately.

 

At that time, Betty approached from afar and said.

 

“My Lady, the Lord wants to see you, would you like to go down?”
