Chapter 137 (2/2)
“If you go like this, I’ll feel like I’ve done so bad, My Lady”
“I-I’m fine…”
“Don’t say that Sit down for a second, let’s think about it”
After rolling her eyes around, Max faltered and sat back on the chair Ruth sat with his ar up at the ceiling for a long time
“Have you ever tried to fix your own stuttering?”
It was a very insensitive question to ask Max blushed and looked at hi this on purpose Do you think I like to ask this?”
Max was beaten to the point where her skin ollen and then healed, but as the days went by, the syot worse Ruth saw that Max’s face was distorted with embarrassment and raised both hands defensively
“I didn’tyou if your pronunciation and speech habits can be corrected to a certain extent by training”
“C-Correction training… Uh, hen I was a kid… I-I trained! B-but I didn’t feel any better…”
“What kind of training did you take?”
Max tre a book in front of her father Whenever she stuttered, her father would slap her on the back with a riding whip She tried hard to erase the frighteningonly a fraction of the truth
“Po-Poetry, or… re-read the Bible… Ro-Roem’s literature…”
“Oh,a conversation when you practice reciting old words?”
Max’s face got almost purple with disconored it, but whenever the topic of conversation was mentioned, she just wanted to iht up a useless issue and looked anxiously at the door with regret, but Ruth was not ready to free her
“Wouldn’t it be better to practice a routine conversation over and over again?”
“Th-that’s… I-I already d-did practice! Bu-but… My tongue is stiff, i-it doesn’t m-move”
“You seem to have i eyes with surprise and Ruth smiled bitterly at her puzzled expression
“Didn’t you realize that? You speak more comfortably these days, except when you’re very e slowly and clearly in a comfortable atmosphere, wouldn’t it be easy to fix it perfectly? I think it’ll be ic…”
“D-Don’t say it’s e-easy! I t-tried so h-hard b-but it didn’t work out so far!”
Ruth frowned at her rough tone Max shrugged her shoulders, she was embarrassed that she overreacted to what he said: he was only giving her some advice
“W-Well, whatever happens… t-thank you for your advice I-I’ll think about i-it”
Ruth parted his lips as if he was about to say soot up fro away
However, while she was running out like that, Max had a faint doubt in herit? Didn’t she think, talking to herself from time to time, that it see quickly across the hall, stopped in front of the stairs
Her father hated her opening her mouth in public: because of this, Max was confined to her room with a tutor Even after her liberation from such a harsh education, she did not open her mouth unless it was necessary It was because of the e look in people’s eyes, she was uncomfortable with their look of frustration
Max even thought of wanting to die if someone asked her to repeat what she said, since it was hard to understand Getting older, she did not say a single word forrecently didn’t feel so terrible Sometimes it was fun to have a conversation It was an unbelievable change
“Maybe the syet worse when I am silent”
She didn’t know Her memory was so distorted that she couldn’t even tell if she was the same woman who acted as the hostess of Calypse Castle Max bit her lips Perhaps while she ith her father, she had crushed all her possibilities Max told Ruth that she tried, but she wasn’t sure if she really did In fact, she’s had given up for a long time
“But… I can’t believe I-I can fix it on my own n-now”
She hesitated because she was afraid of fretting over useless hopes Then suddenly Riftan’s face caer because of her, Max heart tightened painfully She couldn’t let Riftan punch people whenever she was insulted A a stuttering wife
Max stared dirabbed her skirt
