Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law
Chapter 73

It was time for Evan to return to his room after concluding overpowering his employee with unusual requests.

Yo-Young Lord?

A startled, slender woman trying to get out of the Dukes mansion ran into Evan.

Hello, um. Good night.

What are you doing at this late hour?

Ah Im on my way home.

Why are you going home now?

Ah, Im a little late because I had time to meet someone for a while

It was Serena, Larias doctor, whom he didnt like. She, too, knew that Evan didnt like her, so she quickly tried to step back and walk away.

Then, Ill

Immediately, his brow frowned slightly as he was talking with her.

Did you drink?

Oh Can you smell it? Im sorry.

She looked fine on the outside, though the strong smell of alcohol made it seem like she had drunk a lot.

Bu-but Im quite conscious!

Silently looking at her, he pondered for a moment.

Today was his birthday and Matildas anniversary The day his mother died, giving birth to him.

Th-then, Ill take my leave.

Wait.

Evan stopped Serena before she completely disappeared.

I mean Laria.

Yes? Yes.

Is she recovering for sure?

Thats, thats right.

No one explained to him about Larias condition in detail. Both the Duke and Serena simply said that although it was a lung disease that needed recuperation, it was not a fatal disease.

In fact, Laria looked very fine on the outside. She didnt have trouble moving, she ate well, and, after that time, she didnt cough more blood.

Nevertheless, Evan was nervous.

He looked through medical books, though it was certainly difficult to understand the terminology and the progression since each complication was different, so even studying was difficult without professional knowledge.

But, you have to be very careful, and this is indeed a serious situation. If I, a skilled doctor, are not always with her? Her condition can get worse at any time.

I searched various books and found that there are cases where having children is not allowed.

At that, he stared at Serena and asked impulsively.

Id like to hear your opinion on Larias situation.

Serenas mouth opened slightly.

I dont want to let her go like my mother.

Matilda also had a chronic disease, so doctors were worried after she got pregnant.

Serena replied quickly.

Never, it never will.

Before shaking both her hands, It cant happen. She can never have kids with her disease. No matter what. It will be a big deal.

Right. I thought so.

Evan nodded slowly.

Dont tell Laria. Anything related to pregnancy.

If Laria ever heard it, she might be sad, saying that a prestigious family like Icard could collapse because of her.

Go ahead, then.

Serena hurriedly bowed and quickly escaped the mansion.

* * *

In fact, Serena was drunk.

However, even if she drank, she had the skill not to show it.

After she frantically left the Dukes residence, she slumped into her house. And after waking up on the floor late in the morning, she realized that everything had been erased from her mind.

Ummm It feels like I met a very uncomfortable opponent

On the way out after having fun with a servant, she thought she had a very important conversation, but she couldnt remember.

She continued to feel uneasy and headed to the headquarters of the Bestian Guild after a very long time. Originally, she had stopped by to report to Sven, but unexpectedly met a guild member and started counseling.

So, Miss Serena, did he just use me and throw me away when he got tired?

Serena was famous for her love affair within the guild, so there were quite a few guild members who grabbed her and asked for counseling.

I mean, the man said happy birthday twice when no one had ever wished me a happy birthday! It was sweet and cool.

The woman who asked Serena for counseling cried flatly.

Of course, I thought he thought I was special.

Um its ambiguous

Serena asked, frowned.

So you mean thateven though he knew you were touched he said happy birthday again..?

Yes! In addition, there was also some skinship.

Ah, then hes guilty. He cant just leave you after enchanting you like that.

Guilty, obviously guilty.

Really? Actually, I even received a thick handwritten letter.

Oh, my.

She sighed in admiration.

With such meticulousness, I dont think he can build anything other than a harem.

Pardon?

Im sorry. I think Im copying the way of speaking of the person Im serving these days. They talk rather Well, I can grasp what theyre thinking.

Serena spoke clearly.

Suddenly thinking about Laria, she felt puzzled for some reason and said goodbye to the guild members.

See you later. I have something to report.

Serena hurriedly finished the conversation and went inside to see Sven. He was lining up all kinds of toys while grinding Neos sandbox.

I think Sir Neo likes this toy.

Raising a mouse-shaped toy that made a sound when pressed, Sven said with a serious face.

Im going to make a custom order, which one would you prefer, yellow or green? What do you think?

I dont know. Isnt green a bit refreshing?

Thank you, Serena.

Sven replied with a smile.

What I really wanted was yellow. Ill order it in yellow.

In the end, it was a question to confirm his own thoughts. If you have an idea in mind, even if youre not conscious of it, no matter what someone elses response is, you wont be able to hear it. Same as Laria being faithful to Evan.

Laria dismissed it, saying that she wasnt interested in men, although Serena knew: she didnt realize it yet.

Larias taste seemed to be Evans.

Well, objectively speaking he will grow up well. Nevertheless, given the situation, catastrophe is expected.

Like that, she was worried about how Laria was going to deal with it, as Evans affection would continue to grow without her realizing it.

If she tamed him like that and then ran away, he would rampage and definitely turn black, but Laria gave a strange comment about it last time.

Evan told me directly. He will obey Fathers will unconditionally. And, father will surely marry Evan and Princess Elanie when I disappear.

Of course, Sven also predicted such a future.

Yet Serenas hunch continued to send warnings without any specific reason.

Uhmm Was Lord Evan the person I talked to last night? Why cant I remember? Anyway, why does Laria only think of Evan as a child?!

Evan was young, that much was true, but if he grows up, the relationship between the two would definitely be different from what it was now. However, it was impossible to bring up the talk about men to Laria, who had clearly drawn a line about the subject by mentioning her father.

I do not know. Its a distant future, so you should think about it then.

Serena eventually stopped thinking and started telling Sven what had happened.

Sven exclaimed slightly when she reached the point where she used Princess Elanie to capture the assassins.

Ha! Shes a great person, too. How the hell does she know and act like that?

Serenas eyes shook slightly at those words.

Well, I dont know I asked how she knew, and she said she heard it from another source.

Another source?

Sadly, Sir Seymour and her are close these days. I heard that some kind of jewelry-related investment was made with that person, not us.

Svens expression hardened immediately

That stalker?

Laria says hes not a stalker, but a partner, though Anyway, we cant relax either. What if Miss Laria likes Seymour more than us?

Thats impossible.

Sven snorted and continued.

Larias most competent subordinates should be us. We should do our best even more.

I havent been able to talk about black magic these days either.

She replied with a sigh, I cant help but be nervous about it. What if she chooses to leave us? But

She added, shaking her head.

There was only one thing that Miss Laria was interested in.

What?

The magic of bringing people back to life. Thats the only thing she asked.

Ah

Its so tricky to explain that I couldnt do it at all.

I see.

Sven nodded.

I need to learn more about that magic too. Starting today, I have to study hard so that I can answer all of Miss Larias questions.
