Chapter: 992
“At first, the morning sickness was so severe that she couldn’t even eat and just lay without energy. She was sick, but I couldn’t call a doctor.”
“It was like that……?” asked Fritz.
Because during her second pregnancy she was having a hard time, Fritz thought that the first one was easy.
The Marquis replied, “A twenty-year-old is pregnant for the first time. Do you think it’s that easy?”
Kaizen’s expression grew sadder and sadder.
The Marquis was exaggerating on purpose, but Astelle’s pregnancy was really difficult.
It was because her morning sickness was severe and she was getting weaker day by day.
However, it was also a surprisingly simple and enjoyable period.
At that time, the Marquis was wealthy in his own way. Because he had a lot of money saved up, he could get anything for Astelle.
The granddaughter he cherished was hiding in the woods with her baby. Without his savings, he would have sought a loan at all costs to provide for his granddaughter.
The Marquis spent his savings on decorating Astelle’s hideout and buying all kinds of rare foods and medicines good for pregnant women.
So that Astelle did not feel any inconvenience, the interior of the house was decorated with luxurious furniture, and everything from tableware to bedding was of the highest quality.
In order to give only good meals, he contacted the guild of each region to bring all the best ingredients and medicinal herbs to nourish the body.
Of course, the Marquis said he would eat it himself. He had the maids cook the food as if it was for himself, and secretly brought it to Astelle.
It was a series of precarious moments as if walking on thin ice, but fortunately, it was handled so carefully that no one noticed.
The servants who were watching whispered anxiously instead of doubting.
“Could it be that the old Marquis have done something wrong because he was shocked by what happened to his grandson?”
They were very worried that it might be something big.
The Marquis listened to the whispers of the servants but said nothing.
Rather, as if confirming that the rumors were true, he would sit in the house and spend money without meeting anyone.
If you were to play the role of ‘an old noble who lost his one and only heir and spent his fortune recklessly’, no one would suspect why you suddenly spent money like water.
He contacted the guild every day and had them buy medicines and high-quality ingredients.
Astelle also looked worried as she watched her grandfather buy things too much.
“Aren’t you spending too much money because of me?”
The Marquis dismissed his granddaughter’s worries with a light laugh.
