Melting The Cold Female Duke

CHAPTER 33

It has been days now, since Lily had been check by the quack of a doctor. She was far more than furious when she saw his recommended medicine. The medicine that he brags all the time, saying it can make her in no time, along the effective effect it will cause on her skin, assuring her that it'll never leave a single scar unhealed.

She clearly remembers his funny beard and goofy attitude. Heh! One look, and she can guess the doctor is one hella fake as cake.

"Wait a little longer. I know the doctor will come here at any moment now."

I'm sick of hearing him repeating those words over and over again. It seems like patience is not my thing, past nor present. I became aware of my nature more and more as it's gradually revealing its color, my true colors, my nature.

"How many hours so I have to wait?" I asked Dandelion, annoyed. My facial expression and tone gave that away. I won't try to hide it and neither intend to do so.

"Just a little longer, just be patience. Okay?"

Really? Your face said otherwise. It doesn't look good, alright. I don't want to wait anymore. I want to hug my self-claimed pillow and lull myself to sleep.

Staring wide-eye, forcing yourself to be awake, waiting for the freaking doctor to arrive was a big deal for me. "I hope a bolder will smash his head."

I already curse the doctor many times as much as I can count, whether in mind or aloud. Because of my constant blasphemy, Dandelion would scold me non-stop as I keep on curing non-stop, sometimes in order to get my mouth to stop, he would stuff it with food.

"Stop cursing the doctor. Why don't you sleep first? I'll wake you up later. Don't push yourself too hard."

He gave me a great suggestion, while checking my temperature. We have been quite intimate these days, so I didn't mind him touching my head, in fact I kinda like it.

He's right, I hold the choices. It's up to me, if I sleep or not. Why didn't I think of it before? I guess I'm really excited…

But…

When I first saw the doctor, my expectation went to zero, drastically.

The outfit, the look and expression, the manner and voice. I hate all of it, it irks my nerves yet at the same time it made me want to laugh.

…

There was a knock on the door, Dandelion and I heard it clearly because we were too quiet. He walked over to the door to let the person enter the house. Of course, we were sure it was the said doctor, no one would come here as Dandelion said this town was rumored to be occupied by ghosts.

Creak…

The annoying sound of footsteps, boils my blood, I hate it! It grows nearer and nearer, louder and louder, my patience was gradually thinning as each step, it's annoying. The creaking sound almost made my ears bleed.

The sound stops, and I turn my head to the direction of the door, separating the room I'm in and the way leading to both kitchen and living room, where the sound stopped.

At the door's entrance, there stood a man with his tacky outfit, wearing a thick rimmed glasses with a long hat adorning his disheveled black curly hair, and his braided long beard. He's giving me the vibe that he was a clown. He looks funny.

He took off his long white hat, step a foot backward, waist bend forward and a hand on stomach. "Greetings, my lady."

"…"

His greeting was as tacky as his outfit. That smug smile he was showing me was creeping me out for real. "Give me my case."

"…"

I stared at him without rebouncing his greetings. I frown when I saw Dandelion handing the man his case from behind. Ehh? I stared at them amused, the man noticed it and spoke with his funny voice. "What's wrong, my lady?"

"…"

Does this man have a death wish? Stop winking at me and giving me smug smiles, and also don't flirt with me, goodness! Even if it's life and death situation and I will be safe only by marrying you, I think I rather die. Besides, I have a husband already and his right behind you, idiot!

"I'm fine, can you check my leg's condition?"

"Sure, my lady, that's my profession." He replied, moving his eyebrow twice. Creepy.

Without further ado, he grabs his case and checks my leg. Oh boy, I'm nervous at what's his findings. Of course, I should, in any case he would say it will take years to heal it normally without magic, I gave up on living.

After several minutes of observing my injured leg, he sat on the chair, and started writing something. Maybe, it's about my medication. He inquired me some questions and I honestly answered it.

Then after doing the inquires, he did some explaining to me and Dandelion. He said there shouldn't be a problem, I only have to wait for 3 months. It should be around 1 year, but he said that if I would to take his recommended medicine, it would only take 3 months.

I had my suspicion, but who knows if his really speaking the truth, after all don't know any medicine. "Can you show me?"

"Of course, my lady" urgh… Enough saying that! My lady, my lady, my lady, it's so corny!

When he showed me the medicine I should take and apply, I grimace. The pill was big as my nail, pure white and oblong, along with the circle object filled with green moisture cream.

"Are you sure it can really heal my leg for only three months of using these products?"

I caught him stiffening at my question, but when I blink I saw him smiling funny at me, relaxed. Was I hallucinating?

"Of course, my lady. These products will help you best!" He assured me. Oh! Really?
