[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Let Me Hold You A Bit Longer.

Lady Bianca, having returned with special news that granted her the privilege to visit Xion, frowned.

Outside the window, the blossoms of snow drifted.

Even heaven looks angry, she mused, her fingers gripping the armrest.

"Nature is mourning," Lady Bianca said too quietly before turning her attention to the person sitting on the sofa beside her.

The Archduke had carefully wrapped his beloved before stepping out.

"Your Grace, how are you feeling now?"

There was an unnatural flush on Xion’s cheeks, sweat coating his back.

The heat seemed to settle between his ribs. In desperation, he had tugged the duvet down until it pooled around his waist.

"Better than before." His voice had a slight drawl in it, like he didn’t even want to utter anything. Yet he was being so polite to her.

Was this not the reason why she had fallen for him in the first place?

She had no intention of getting between Xion and that devil, but she still was selfish enough for him to at least remember her.

Even if it was in such a despicable way that she had to blackmail the Archduke with Xion’s safety, it was fine.

If only the divine healer could see, he would have noticed the poisoned mark on his own skin.

With no fabric to block, she traced the purple veins spreading all over the pale chest and on his neck, almost like holding him in its deadly grip.

"Don’t worry, Your Grace. We have found a way to heal you perfectly. We just have to wait for the full moon."

Xion hummed lightly, resting his head on the back of a cushioned backrest.

It disgusted him—this weakness, especially in front of his family.

So the best option was to always hold it in.

Don’t show any weakness. Don’t show pain. Don’t show fear...

He felt like he had been set on fire.

Yet his teeth chattered as he spoke, "What is this method?"

How could there be a method when even his system had nothing to help him? Not to mention the utter silence in his mind.

His system had disappeared once again. But why?

However, he didn’t have another chance to ponder it, as the burning sensation started to spread toward his temples.

"Are you in pain?" Lady Bianca asked anxiously, "Wait, let me call the Alchemist."

"No —" he hesitated.

The pain wasn’t as unbearable as it had been the past three days. He was even able to walk on his own.

Instead of Allen, he wanted Darius by his side.

The Archduke hadn’t left him alone for long. Darius would stay by his side, and even the court work had been transferred to this room. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The only time he would leave was when he needed to bring new medicine.

Strangely, his aunt had only visited him once, and if it wasn’t for his system telling him, he wouldn’t even realize it.

She was far too silent.

That was also the last time he had talked with his system.

[Don’t worry, host,] the system sounded panicked. [I’ll definitely bring Panacea, which can heal any wound. We just need to unlock a new stage of the VIP program.]

But there were no other stages in the VIP section.

Was his system trying to console him by lying? However, the system was essentially an artificial intelligence. It simply couldn’t lie.

So, was there still the slightest hope for him?

All for my sake. For my useless body.

Ah, it will be a hassle to clean this up.

No wonder I couldn’t hold the cup. The silly healer blatantly realized his entire body was shivering.
