The Duchess of the Attic

"Beth? Beth!?

Worried for Beth, who had fallen into bed, Opal spoke out in haste.

I think I heard you shouldn't move it at times like this.

Just don't know what to do then, Naja came looking scared waiting in the next room.

"I just lost my mind, so don't worry so much. Probably because of the sudden excitement. You're not feeling well when you're pregnant."

"I'm worried because I'm pregnant. Is your belly child okay? I'm breathing, but I can't believe I'm unconscious..."

Unlike the upsetting opal, Naja was only calm.

Put your hand on your forehead, take a pulse with your wrist, and make a grown stomach.

"Didn't you get blood on your head? I don't have that much tension in my stomach, and you'll wake up soon. Oh, look..."

Beth blinked with puffiness as Naja held Beth's hands and rubbed them hard.

And slowly open your eyes.

"Wait, I'll get you some water"

Naja got up and went to the next room when she pounded Beth's hand.

In the meantime, Opal can't do anything, just sit back and watch.

I know we should talk about something, but I was scared if I lost my mind about it again.

Opal has never had a pregnancy or childbirth experience, nor cared for a sick person.

When my mother was in the hospital bed, she just sat beside me and read books and chatted, and that was almost twenty years ago, too.

So I was relieved when Naja came back.

"There's no water in the water bottle. I had no choice but to bring you the fruit water your wife brought."

Naja lowered her hips opposite Opal as she handed the glass to Beth.

The bed seems to suffer as soon as possible.

Beth was thirsty or exhaled deeply when she emptied the glass in no time.

"Calm down? Well, let me tell you something, but you're a good addition, aren't you? Thanks to your wife, you don't have to complain!

"Naja, that will happen again..."

Naja, who received a glass from Beth, scolded Beth in a tight tone.

Opal went in to stop Beth because she was worried about her body, but Naja shook her head with a resolute look.

"No, Master Opal is too kind. People like this, if you don't say Gatsun, how much do you..."

"No! I thank my wife!

"Become -"

Beth blocks Naja's words, which she tried to recruit further.

Pushed by the momentum, Naja clogged her voice.

"I... I had a seriously terrible attitude towards my servant the whole time his wife was married to Master Hubert. But I didn't doubt that I was doing the right thing to protect Stella from her reputable wife."

"Well, I guess so."

"We all tried to kick your wife out of the butler, Mr. Romit... and now we know how stupid that is. But at that time, I thought that was justice. That there's no way justice can beat evil. When Stella was to be transferred from her mansion, she was angry with her wife, and she was pleased that justice had finally prevailed when her wife and Hubert were divorced."

"Well, you're incredibly congratulatory."

"Naja"

If talking would make you feel better, Opal was listening without pinching his mouth, but Naja couldn't stand it.

She hastily embarrassed Naja, but Beth grinned bitterly and nodded.

"You're absolutely right. I'm really stupid. Sir Keymont's words were truly received because he was an irremediable fool. 'I never got married before because no matter what woman I met, my heart refused. But when I met you, I figured it out. I was expecting you. You're the man of destiny,' he said, 'and you're a fool."

Opal and Naja looked at each other when they heard Beth speaking in tears again.

Keymont's line stinks, but I couldn't even laugh when I think of Beth, who remembers it word for word.

"I believed in people I shouldn't believe in and I didn't believe in people I should believe in. So this is a natural reward. Mrs. Northam had laid me off, but I just didn't have any trouble with my immediate life. Pay me. But I'm anxious about the future..."

"Right. It's not easy to use when you think about raising a child in your stomach. But don't worry. As I said earlier, Sir Keemont gave me alimony. For one thing, I need to rest my body. Would that be a good place to feel safe?

"But I don't deserve your wife's warmth! So please, give that money to the other two!

"Oh, you knew..."

"Yesterday, when I went shopping, I saw the headlines in the newspaper..."

I've also learned about Keymont's arrest, so that would be a shock.

The other two are left to the director of the facility, and there are other inmates, so you'll be confused, but if you're alone in a room like this, you can't help but lose your mind.

Anyway, if we don't get Beth out of this place, Opal got up.

"Come on, I can't help but turn around forever. Beth is your mother, so let's move to a safe place for our belly child."

"No, I'll stay here. I have a wife."

"Oh, already! You..."

Naja tried to get annoyed by Beth, who refused so hard.

But Opal smiled gently at Beth as he raised one hand and took control of Naja.

"You know what, Beth? Would you stop being so stubborn about it? I'm pretty sure you're stupid, but I'm still trying to make stupid choices again. I'm not thinking for you. I'm worried about my belly child. I'll tell you what, Sir Keemont gave me alimony. It's that belly child's money. It's not something you can say you don't want on your own, and naturally, we're going through the process to make sure it's properly paid for by the trustee. Do you understand?

To Opal's spicy words, Beth blued.

Opal worried that it was too much, but to his surprise Beth nodded honestly.

"You're right. Just a moment, would you mind waiting? Pack your bags."

"All you have to do is use it right away, okay? You can have someone pack your bags."

Beth laughed with a crying face as Opal answered as she clapped out.

"Because I don't have that much luggage. It'll be over soon."

"I'll help."

When Beth gets up, Naja also gets up and goes back to the next room.

So Beth stopped and looked back.

"I really sincerely thank your wife. This is how you reach out to me for salvation without abandoning me stupid..."

"I don't think you're stupid right now."

As Opal smiled and replied to the words of gratitude, Beth smiled shyly small.

That was the first real smile Beth saw by Opal.
