Chapter 144
Proofreader: somnium
At Artizea’s brief remark, the doctor panicked.
He thought she would be delighted to have been given the news.
Or, she could have panicked. She married at a young age, and even if she didn’t, she didn’t have a family of her own, and he thought that she might be sad because of the current situation.
Then he thought hard about how to comfort her.
Although she has a weak constitution, he was trying to reassure her that she could give birth healthily enough if she nurtured it from now on.
However, Artizea didn’t make any facial expressions that the doctor anticipated.
Her cold face, as if she was wearing an ice mask, did not reveal the reaction that a sick person should naturally show.
“Go away.”

Artizea spoke again.
The doctor dared not linger any longer. He could not even talk about meals or medical care.
So he politely bowed his back and walked out of the room.
Thud.
The door is closed.
Artizea’s body began to tremble as if it had waited. Alice quickly closed the door tight and ran to the front of Artizea.
Her expression remained suppressed, but she couldn’t suppress all her emotions.
Alice pressed Artizea’s shoulder between the cushions. It was because she was afraid she would fall again while trying to get up.
“It’s okay, miss.”

“I’ll have to get an abortion medicine, Alice.”
Artizea whispered in a low voice so that it could not be heard. Her hand, holding Alice’s wrist, trembled like a tree.
“I think Rye knows a pharmacist. Oh Rye’s not here. Then another way…….”
“Don’t, miss!”
Alice said firmly.
“Your doctor said it, too. It’s a baby who had come with difficulty. He said you might never get a second chance!”
“Bu, but…….”
Artizea looked up at Alice with a terrified face. Tears streamed down from her blue eyes.
“How can someone like me become a mother?”

“You can do it, it’s okay. The doctor said you could give birth to a healthy baby.”
“No, I… I, you, you know, Alice, how I grew up.”
Artizea stuttered in a trembling voice.
“I don’t know what a proper mother is.”
“No one knows what being a mother is before she has her first child.”
“Bu, but, this one has a high likelihood.”
“You can’t do that. You don’t hate the baby, do you?”
At Alice’s question, Artizea trembled astonishingly.
She had never even thought about it. She had never thought of such a possibility in her life, so Artizea could not even imagine herself raising a child. She never thought about likes or dislikes.

“I, I am not a complete person. You know that, don’t you?”
One day, a flaw will pop out of nowhere.
Artizea knew that she did not know how to love properly.
If it’s against adults, she’s fine. It would be over when she was abandoned.
But if it was her own child, it was different.
She wasn’t sure that she could be a different mother than Miraila. Miraila didn’t even give birth to her because she hated Artizea and wanted to beat her. She had a heart to love.
But in front of Artizea, Miraila just can’t handle herself.
How can Artizea herself guarantee that she is not the same?
Artizea knew that she was a person who could be much more ruthless and cruel than Miraila.

“I’m sure I’m going to mess up the child. I, I’d rather it not be born…….”
“I will raise it!”
Alice screamed out loud.
Artizea looked at her in surprise. Alice hugged her tightly.
“I will raise it. If you are not confident, I will raise it for you.”
“That, but…….”
“I wasn’t a very educated person who learned a lot, and our house was not that harmonious or anything like that…….”
“Alice…….”
“But I can still raise children. Do you know that I raised my youngest brother?”

Artizea nodded her head as Alice made eye contact with her.
“I can’t make the baby a noble or raise it to be as smart as Miss, but I can love it. Sophie is here too.”
“However…….”
“I think Sir Marcus will be able to help with the teaching.”
A light returned to Artizea’s eyes.
But her trembling did not stop. Cry leaked out of her throat like a painful scream.
“But, still, what if it looks like me? What if it resembles my mother? What if it resembles my older brother?”
“What’s wrong with you, Miss? And you’re not the only child!”
“Even more so, I can’t let it be the child of a woman like this……!”

Artizea said desperately.

At that time, Cedric was at the Chancellor’s residence.
He felt like he wanted to be by Artizea’s side, but he had too much to do.
There was a meeting with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Home Affairs early this morning today.
He had rarely been involved in internal affairs until now, but he suddenly intervened in the name of the imperial family, so it was difficult to coordinate.
