My Crazy Lady's

Chapter 18 (MCL)

It was noon time when Hanna woke up the next day. He threw the blanket to the side and lowered his legs slowly.

Dizziness in his head still does not want to go away, although Mery has given a drink that he said can relieve headaches, but still his dizziness does not disappear, it is now getting worse with fever attacking his body.

"Are you awake, my Lady?" Mery, who saw her young lady coming down the stairs, immediately greeted Hanna.

"Mery, my tongue is bitter, now my body has a fever, too" he said. Usually if this pain, his mother will spoil him a little, take care of him with affection. It was then that Hanna could eat whatever she liked.

"You sick? you look so pale" said Ema, who had just walked out of the library with Stuart. The woman put her hand on Hanna's forehead.

"Gosh, you have a fever. Stuart, immediately ask someone to call the doctor," said Ema turned to her husband. Ema's worried face somehow made Hanna's heart feel warm. In the novel Lady Hanna never noticed her birth mother, now getting a little attention from the woman, it is reasonable to be happy.

With Mery and Ema, Hanna returns to the room. He was asked to lie down, and before long Mery came back carrying a soup containing a lot of spices. Despite the illness, Hanna was able to quickly finish all the dishes in a tray. Forever Hanna and food are a unity that can not be separated.

"Drink this." Ema handed me a cup of murky water that was still warm. The smell stung and really made the girl want to take out the contents of her stomach that had just been filled.

"I don't want to, Ma. It stinks," his whine refused.

"You must drink this, so that you will get well soon" said Ema forcing.

Seeing her mother's earnestness, Hanna was not up to heart, so decided to try drinking it. However, only a quarter landed on her throat, Hanna had already regurgitated the medicine as well as the food she had just eaten.

"Oh, how is this. Just hang on for a moment with the smell, this way you won't heal" said Ema stroking her daughter's arm. Love is real, not fabricated. Hanna could feel her mother very worried about her condition.

"But I can't stand it, Ma."

"Here you go, give him warm water and sugar water, to remove the bitter taste in his mouth" Ema told Mery.

The news of the eldest daughter of the Jhonson family who was ill reached the ears of the Duke of Claymore. The great lord who was in London immediately sent two reliable doctors to the residence of Jhonson. Alex has just arrived in London to finish his job.

One day passed, and finally the man received a report from the doctor who had examined the girl. "Miss Jhonson only has a fever, sir. I have given him medication to bring down his fever. Miss Jhonson must be cured soon,"

Alex should have calmed down after hearing Arnold's words, but before he could confirm the truth, he wouldn't have calmed down. His London affairs are over this afternoon, and he intends to return home soon.

"You're going home, this afternoon?" lady Margaret asked dumbfounded at her son's decision.

"Yes, Mother. I have to get there before it's too late."Alex's decision is final, no one can dispute it.

***

It was very late at night when the horse-drawn carriage with the Claymore family emblem entered the courtyard of the Jhonson Family home.

Without waiting for the horse to stop perfectly, Alex had already jumped out and rushed inside the house.

Stuart, who was told by his servant about the arrival of the Duke of Claymore, immediately welcomed his future son-in-law.

"What makes you come to these nights? is there a problem?" ask Stuart a little worried. The reason, the face of Alex at that time looked agitated.

"I. I just want to know, has Lady Hanna's condition improved?"

A little bit of frowning. However, Stuart did not dare to ask the reason Alex was so very worried about his eldest daughter, whom he remembered was his youngest daughter who became the fiancee of the angry man.

"Then I say goodbye,"

"You don't want to meet Catherine first? ema's voice echoed along with her new steps entering the living room.

"No need, I'm tired, the long journey from London today is only three and a half hours" he said, then left the house.

Stuart just stared in silence. His premonition said the storm would soon hit his family. There will be a dispute between her two daughters.

"Actually sir Alex came for what? it's a long journey just to come here, but not to meet Catherine?" ask Ema confused.

"He asked Hanna's situation."

Start's sentence managed to make Ema's face deathly pale. Her husband did not need to say anything more, he understood about this situation.

As a mother, she wanted to be fair, not taking any sides. Hanna was Alex's fiancee in the past, but because of Hanna's circumstances, they offered Catherine as her successor.

Now, the white equestrian prince actually wants to choose Hanna as the woman he wants to marry.

***

In the morning, Hanna was completely healed. His strength felt recharged.

Mery helped her to shower and shampoo that morning. Lying down for two days in bed makes his back hurt.

"What's Miss' plan today?" asked Mery who combed Hanna's long hair.

"I want to ride,"

"Gosh, Miss. Please do not look for trouble. You just healed. It's a pity that Mr. Claymore's doctor will come back here again" said Mery a little strangled.

"So the doctor's the man?" Hanna looked at her face in the mirror, but the reflection she saw in her eyeballs was Alex's face.

"That's what I heard, miss. How caring and very worried Mr. Claymore will be for your health" said Mery finished styling Hanna's hair.

Hanna was at a loss for words. She hated the man, obviously, but why was her heart so warm hearing Alex care about her.

"In fact, last night I saw Mr. Claymore coming in a hurry. He's coming straight from London. And you know, it's just to make sure your health has improved" Mery said. She had always hoped that her young lady would become the duchess of Claymore instead of the arrogant Catherine.

Almost every day, Lusi, Catherine's servant told her that she could not wait to move after Catherine to the Claymore residence later.

"Maybe he wants to meet Catherine. And reason wants to know my health, just as an alibi."

"But I heard it myself, Miss. Even the great mistress offered to call Catherine, but was rejected outright by Mr. Claymore,"

"That's enough, don't talk about that guy again. I don't want to get into trouble with Catherine" Hanna said seriously.

"Sorry, Miss. But I'm sure, the Duke of Claymore is already in love with you."
