I happened to come across a young nobleman who looked like he had lost his way. Pretending not to notice, I turned away. I couldn’t afford to attract attention, especially since I was hiding.2991c6a50eec2590

The request to become a maidservant was absurd, but it was the word “prince” that really caught me off guard. Diana was already attracting a great deal of attention from the nobles, and her presence had distorted the judgment of many due to the constant flattery she received.11be93998c6c378a

I pushed Joshua forcefully as he clung to me, and naturally, he tumbled over. It wasn’t intentional, but the spot where he fell happened to be on a wide road paved with stones. A few drops of blood quickly formed on his delicate knees.8a728d906fec9609

No matter how much healing power I applied, the orange aura wouldn’t disappear. At that time, I didn’t yet understand that orange signified a chronic illness. As I puzzled over the tiny orange aura that remained, a voice calling for the young master rang out.17d7ab1fdd0a224c

With a bright smile, Joshua made the promise to me. Of course, it was a lie. I wouldn’t find out until three years later that as soon as he returned, he told my story to his family. I had lied to Joshua as well. I had promised to heal him swiftly but ended up fleeing when the maidservant arrived.e70fc4af5958b35b

It was a question 31d531bebd directed at the Duke, b3b58f4279 but he readily agreed, d141a52b7e allowing me to touch 1158c3f9a0 Joshua, despite the watchful 7a37c53612 gazes of those around 3340d636e9 us.

I felt perplexed. How should I handle this situation? To explain Joshua’s condition, I would inevitably have to mention my healing ability, but in this life, I had decided to hide it as much as possible. Moreover, even without revealing the healing aura, explaining the cause of death was a challenge.e9e31d5183b1c671

Joshua’s chronic illness was primarily the inability for blood to stop flowing from wounds. So, in the previous life, he most likely died from blood loss due to the constant open wounds.f14260d4000ba8bc

However, the actual cause of his death had been cardiac arrest. In this life as well as the previous one, everyone had probably focused on healing Joshua’s wounds to make him feel better, but it was not a fundamental solution.7a00df8d530a5005

Every time a wound occurred, 05060a9487 his heart had to work 657b20f46e excessively to supply the lacking d64837f961 blood, which resulted in the 2dfc334ae1 weakening of his heart.efeee622e6ee371b
