Phoenix Tears

“Is this really okay? Doing something like this for me.”

Watching the doctors and priests board another carriage, Morick became conflicted again.

Mobilizing the Crown Prince’s exclusive therapists from the mansion to help treat his sister was an immense favor and honor.

Morick was naturally moved to tears and eternally grateful.

However, he worried that such special treatment for him alone would displease his colleagues and affect the Crown Prince’s work.

“It’s normal for you to have such concerns. But like I said before, look at it the other way: doesn’t it show that as long as you’re loyal and make contributions, you can receive such great honor? That way, everyone will work even harder.”

Flora smiled slightly.

“Everything has two sides, good and bad. We can’t just focus on the bad and stop moving forward.”

Of course, blindly pursuing benefits and ignoring the drawbacks was also wrong.

So, Flora had already discussed with the Crown Prince last night what kind of treatment and benefits to give to his subordinates.

Seeing that the assistant still wanted to say something, Flora quickly said, “Alright, get in the carriage quickly.

The most important thing now is to treat Mr. Morick’s sister.”

“Thank you.”

The assistant nodded gratefully, but he quickly turned back from the carriage door.

“His Highness Ryan wants you to go too.”

“Ah? Okay.”

Flora was slightly stunned, but she didn’t refuse.

The carriage was spacious enough to carry the three of them without any problems.

However, the Crown Prince and the assistant remained silent throughout the journey.

Flora also suddenly remembered to maintain her “natural” persona, so she fell asleep unguarded in the carriage.

Upon reaching their destination, Flora quickly woke up and hurriedly followed the two who had already gotten out of the carriage.

Morick didn’t pay much attention to his surroundings.

After the initial excitement and panic subsided, his mood actually became increasingly bleak.

About half an hour later, the facts proved tragically that he was not wrong.

“I apologize, Your Highness. This young lady’s condition is not a curse, but a terminal illness… We are truly unable to help.”

The doctors and priests pleaded guilty to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince’s therapists were definitely more skilled than the folk doctors Morick had hired, but that didn’t mean they could reverse fate and defy the heavens.

Morick immediately knelt down to the Crown Prince.

“Thank you for Your Highness’s kindness to me. I will never forget your great favor!”

This was what he had already planned on the way, the action he would take immediately if this situation occurred.

To show his magnanimity about the matter and to prevent the Crown Prince from feeling uneasy about it.

The black-haired youth, however, snorted coldly and walked unhappily outside.

Ryan saw through his assistant’s plan.

That’s why he was angry.

“Does Your Highness feel that your arrival has destroyed Mr. Morick’s last hope?”

That annoying maid was here.

And as always, she lacked etiquette, was uninhibited, and spoke recklessly.

Ryan decided to ignore her.

Flora also knew that what the Crown Prince needed at this time was not comfort, but a practical solution to the problem.

So—

“Your Highness, can you let me have some time alone with Morick’s sister?”

The black-haired youth paused, turned his head to look at her, his usually calm and indifferent eyes filled with disbelief.

After a long while, this expression turned into scrutiny and incomprehension.

Flora also knew that her request was a bit rash and inappropriate.

But since she had come.

Since she had seen it.

There was no reason to stand idly by.

(Ah, I’m really hopeless.)

Gracie Morick, lying on the bed, thought apologetically.

Although her brother always comforted her, saying that her illness would get better sooner or later, that she would regain her health sooner or later… she didn’t remember how many doctors and priests had come to treat her.

She only remembered that everyone was similar to those two gorgeously dressed gentlemen just now, their eyes full of helplessness.

She only remembered that the light in her brother’s eyes was disappearing little by little.

Until just now, it had completely disappeared.

Honestly, she really wanted to touch her brother’s head and praise him for having done enough, that it was just her who was useless.

But she found that her hands, like her legs, had little sensation.

She felt very uncomfortable.

But not because her body was getting worse and worse.

But because she didn’t want to see her brother so painful anymore.

She didn’t remember what her parents looked like anymore.

But she still remembered her brother studying and working hard to earn money to support her.

If it weren’t for her, her brother wouldn’t have to work so hard, right?

She still remembered when he found a new job and moved here, the rare joy and happiness on her brother’s face.

But after she fell ill, all of this vanished.

And she even made her brother spend money to hire a nanny to take care of her.

This time too… hiring such good doctors must cost a lot of money, right?

She was really useless.

She didn’t want to be a burden to her brother anymore.

But she couldn’t do anything anymore.

She could only ask the blonde sister who was coming in now.

Hoping that she could free her from this.

“Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”

The blonde sister agreed to her request.

This was really great.

Since she got sick, this was the first time she felt so happy.

She closed her eyes contentedly.

For some reason, she felt her body become warm.

Like bathing in the sunlight.

She gently opened her eyes.

She found herself in heaven.

Everything in her vision was shrouded in golden light.

A divine bird, shining with brilliant light, floated gracefully above, its eyes mournful.

As if crying for her.

But she was very happy.

Because her brother could finally live a happy life…

Gracie closed her eyes happily and fell asleep.

She didn’t know how long had passed when she was awakened.

“This is not just a simple recovery from illness, the already withered muscles have also regained their health… This is incredible!”

“God is above, this is simply a miracle!”

Eh, were they talking about her?

Wasn’t she already dead?

Gracie opened her eyes, tried to move her body, and found that, as they said, both her limbs and waist had regained the vitality they had several years ago, even surpassing it.

However, as soon as she sat up, she was hugged tightly.

It was her brother.

“That’s great, Gracie, that’s really great…”

It was her brother, crying his eyes out and extremely excited.

It was her brother, afraid that she would disappear.

At this moment, Gracie completely understood.

If she really died.

Her brother would definitely not be happy.

Let alone happy.

Sorry… No.

That was not right.

“Brother, thank you.”

She wanted to make her brother smile happily.

Flora had returned to the carriage before Gracie woke up.

Not long after, the Crown Prince also returned, and without any intention of waiting for anyone else, he had the coachman drive off.

Flora couldn’t help but feel uneasy and quickly pretended to be asleep, hoping to muddle through.

“Thanks.”

After a while, the black-haired youth turned his face away and said softly.

Other than that, he didn’t seem to intend to say anything else.

Nor did he intend to ask.

And he didn’t intend to use his special abilities.

Flora quickly opened her eyes, moved to the front of the black-haired youth, and shook her finger.

“Your Highness Ryan, that’s not right. When thanking someone, you have to look them in the eyes, you have to use a more emotional tone…”

“Scram.”

A vein popped on the Crown Prince’s forehead.

He wanted to pick up Flora, but he immediately remembered that he was in the carriage, so he quickly changed to flicking his finger, hitting Flora’s forehead hard.

“It hurts, boohoo…”

Flora covered her little head and cried hypocritically.

“Shut up.”

The Crown Prince said with a look of disgust, turning his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

That’s good.

Flora secretly revealed a gratified smile.

She was just a despicable person who came to break the engagement.

She didn’t need thanks.

And she didn’t deserve happiness.
