Chapter (37): Graze

The physician directed his hand to the door, "please close it! I must check in on her."

The man opened his bag and took out a glassy vial of extract, there was a yellowish clear extract inside it. He wore gloves and turned to Lisa, "Mrs. James, lay down and open your legs." His time was rough and serious, shameless.

Lisa blushed, she was lost in confusion. He was too straight and Lisa could not do that, letting another man see her spot wasn't something she could permit. Lisa peered at Margaret with widened eyes. Not likely to let this happen.

Margaret wore a wide grin, she slammed the door and got back to the bed.

"Calm down, daughter! That liquid will make us assured that you are pregnant but I have no skepticism." Margaret smiled kindly.

He took out a cotton pad and opened the cork. Pouring the liquid on it, he waited for her. The scent of garlic was spreading around, coming from the vial that contained, rarefied honey and garlic extract.

"Lady Margaret, I am sure you are right." The physician noted.

Lisa closed her eyes and opened her legs, the physician put the pad in her panties where the raw pinky flesh was and moved back to not put her in more discomfort.

"I am done," he smiled at Margaret, not pretending as a cold stick at all. It seemed he found out something that she did already.

Abruptly, Lisa straightened her legs, shutting her eyes open, and tapped on her skirt to be softened.

"You can remove it in ten minutes but certainly, you are pregnant milady! Your pulse is showing that and your vagina has gotten dry. I can say that it had two months past."

The physician kept his eyes down, taking off the gloves, but Lisa still was being shy.

They heard a rushing knock on the door and the noises announced who was there.

"Come in, Lady Elizabeth."

Margaret permitted, she knew that if she did not allow her then she would break that door.

Behind the door, Elizabeth was counting down to hear what the physician would say. As soon as she got the permission, with one hand she gripped Luna's wrist, and with the other one, she turned the handle, roaming inside as noisy as she could.

The physician was young, his eyes were blue and his hair was brown. His heart jolted as he saw Elizabeth again. He was one of her suitors that were rejected long ago.

"Physician Remington, tell me that she is pregnant!" Elizabeth uttered, her cheeks were flourished and now in this green dress she looked even more stunning. Her expression changed at the scent of garlic. She sniffed to be certain about the perfume that veiled the room.

She sneaked near the bed, following the smell, then she halted near Lisa who put her head back not to be touched by Elizabeth's nose.

"Sister, are you a pig?"

The physician was still shocked. He froze in his place, speechless, listening to his heart strokes.

"What is this? Gods! Why didn't I sense this last night?"

Lisa reached her forefinger out and pushed the small nose away from her sight.

"Are you a gull?"

She blurted, smiling, she entirely forgot that her spot was a bit burning.

Elizabeth drew back, folding her hands in her chest, she yanked a strand of her hair back, her eyes closed. "Ha ha ha, I hope this child takes after me because all of you have some cold nerves."

The physician coughed, revealing his presence.

Elizabeth held that posture but opened her left eye, gazing at physician Remington, "what is this garlic essence for?"

"Milady, tomorrow morning if you couldn't sense this scent from her gust from the nose then it means she is definitely pregnant."

He explained.

Elizabeth nodded, her figure dropped and returned to the shape that was more like her.

Luna strode to the bed, she sat on the margin, taking Margaret's place, she held Lisa's hand, "I am so delighted for you, you can't even imagine that how darling this child is to us."

"Thank you, sweetheart! I hope to see this child happy and healthy."

Luna turned her face to the quiet silhouette that belonged to the Physician, saying with concern, "what about the faint, was it normal?"

The doctor peeked at Margaret and she nodded.

"I believe that she needs more care, I suggest you not let her become exhausted, keep her out of anxiety. If she follows these tips, Mrs. James will be fine."

Luna turned her head, no one paid attention to how much pressure was on her according to what that wicked princess implored. This woman was fighting with her true emotions and it could give her a hazardous litter.

"Thank you, Physician Remington."

Luna noted and he bowed his neck but she just noticed the movement because he was standing down on the bed.

"I would come and check on her every month and it will increase in the last months."

He turned to Margaret, "please remove the pad within ten minutes."

He took out a pen and a paper, writing something on it.

"Please go to the alchemist and ask them to prepare these vials. They will tell you how to consume them. I also noted here."

He finished the writing and handed the paper to curious Elizabeth, avoiding his eyes meeting hers. She was trying to read it but that horrible handwriting was like doodles that she hoped the alchemist would understand.

The physician walked to the table, wrapping his bag, he picked his hat and waited for being dismissed.

Margaret was on her feet, leading him outside.

"I would like to see the Lord before I leave."

He noted and walked after the old lady.

Elizabeth flooded for the bed, taking Lisa between her arms she squeezed her.

"I love you so much, Lisa. I feel that you have a little boy but I love my new cousin either way."

Lisa coughed, "you are choking me, monkey."

Elizabeth laughed and released her.

Outside of the room, on the steps of the second floor, Miguel James saw the young Physician. He smiled at him but this man had always a blank face like his father. He could never read his face.

He halted before the steps, letting them come down.

"I hope you have good news."

Miguel could feel the heat inside his back. He just wanted to hear she was fine and no graze would harm her to give their child to be birth.
