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.61346c7d32d8c93e

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.8fbab7d256ec9279

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.729f993b479710f9

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.9343b2686164f2f1

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.6c6172bae1f0f23e

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.e5198d0922c2b86d

Every time a 9724c2b2bb wound occurred, his 22f870073a heart had to a7c4716cc4 work excessively to 473cffa193 supply the lacking dde29fb866 blood, which resulted 19ad0234cd in the weakening 08d252abb9 of his heart.b17817517f9fd4ff
