I really like this story. I can't wait to see the male lead recover so they can live happily. It really sucks that the the side characters want to kill the male lead for such petty reasons. I am looking forward to seeing them get caught and disposed of one by one. Please 🙏 post the next update soon. 😊 thank you ❤️
At first I liked the story, nice and fluffy. But as it went on it got more and more ridiculous. ML, FL and ML's family are all too nice and far too forgiving. Far far too overly forgiving.
Wow. Literally zero consequences for trying to murder ML, just a finger wagging and telling them they better not try to murder him again!
"We changed his environment and suddenly he's suffering from new symptoms? What could possibly be the cause?"
Yes the ex-fiance's parents are incredibly rude (and stupid) to yell about all this stuff in the courtyard, but of course that's why the engagement was changed. Literally everyone involved should already know that, even if its not spoken out loud. The engagement was originally arranged to the heir of the household, then he became terminally ill. Of course the engagement would be altered. Frankly its silly that they were even trying to find a new engagement for someone with a terminal diagnoses.
Dayum
I hope Lionel will completely heal. So Edith and Lionel can have a long life together.
Hot long-haired shady eyepatch character?? I'm in.
Bro how did the guy suffer no consequences??
I’m not really blaming Eugenie with her decision But I can’t really say that she’s completely innocent in all of this. She is absolutely right to say that she should’ve been honest about her feelings before the ML got sick, And not mention it when the poor dude is on his sick bed. I’m not saying that she needs to stay with the ML even though the ML wouldn’t reciprocate her feelings for her. She have every right to be happy with who she wants to be with. I just would’ve wanted her to be brave enough to admit her feelings when the poor dude is they still healthy.
I mean, just think about it what if after she said what she said to the ML his health turns for the worst and unfortunately died. I’m very sure she wouldn’t be able to recover from all the guilt, and she will continue to blame herself for the death of the ML then. And then Craig might even blame her for what happened even though he loves her. Because grieve is something that is not easy to handle.
Hmm I feel like this relapse arc could've been written a bit better
More please 🙏
I still think Lady Eugenie has done literally nothing wrong. The timing might not have been great, but she shouldn't have to stay engaged to someone who wouldn't return her love, even if they are sick.
wasn't Craig (the ML brother) holding the food, why did he return it to the FL😂
I fully do not understand why FL was even living with her paternal family. They hate her, she doesn't like living with them, her parents had a home and business which she is apparently old enough to run....so she'd be able to take care of herself better on her own. Even with the incredibly stupid grandpa forcing her to be adopted by people who resented her, I don't see a single reason her Aunt and Uncle would have stopped her from just walking away and going back to her own home.
