Swan was eating her breakfast slowly because she didn’t have an appetite after vomiting her guts out at dawn. It had been a week since she got morning sickness, and she still hadn’t recovered yet.
Swan didn’t understand what was wrong with her body. She followed all the usual routines that could strengthen her body. She drank ginger tea every day, drank medicine from the palace doctor, and had a good night’s sleep for the past two weeks, but still nothing changed.
’Should I call that old doctor, Matoa?’ Swan asked herself. She looked at the window and sighed, ’Maybe when spring comes. It’s still winter, and this year’s winter is especially harsh. Matoa would have a difficult journey just to reach the castle.’
Swan decided to toughen herself and continued eating her breakfast.
However, she was met with another problem that made it difficult for her to be at ease; Lady Jade and that bunny maid, Alice.
Swan glanced at the drawer where she kept the small bottle of colorless and odorless poison that she confiscated from Alice. She had enough evidence that Lady Jade was trying to poison Long Xiurong, and possibly, to poison Swan as well.
She was just waiting for her husband to come home, so she could report everything. Unfortunately, nobody in the castle knew how long it would take for the Beast King to return.
"Come on, Gale, please come home. I miss you, and I need you," Swan muttered as she was just expressing her worry.
"I heard that."
Swan turned her head, and a cold gust of wind from the opened window made her shiver.
"G-Gale?!"
"Miss me?" Gale smiled as he jumped into the room, and quickly closed the window to make sure that his wife wouldn’t get cold. He shook off the snow from his body, then lifted Swan from the chair before carrying her to the bed. "I heard everything, Sweetheart. I also feel the same. It’s been five days since we got separated, and I already crave for you."
He pulled her dress and began burying his face in between her boobs, taking a sniff of her unique scent which worked like a drug and instantly made him at ease.
"G-G-Gale, it’s still too early..." Swan reminded.
"I know, Sweetheart. I won’t do anything. I’m just burying my face in the best place on earth to rest," Gale mumbled, still sniffing on her cleavage like a dog.
Swan’s cheeks reddened as she got embarrassed, but she was happy that Gale finally came home. She caressed his hair, allowing him to sniff deeper into her cleavage and asked, "You’ve worked hard, husband. Do you want something? I mean, something other than sex, that is. W-we can do that at night."
"Nothing in particular. I’m not hungry since I’ve hunted a deer on my way to the castle," Gale replied. "Just let me rest for a while like this. This is truly heaven for me, wife..."
Swan finally understood what Gale meant the moment he said ’dangerous’. She was thinking about letting Gale rest first, but since he already sensed it, she decided to point at the drawer, "There is an odorless and colorless poison in that drawer." freewēbnoveℓ.com
