Chương 86: No. Just No.
Lucy stared at the letter on her pillow as if it was a snake. She pouts. I won't go! Hearing footsteps Lucy jumps off her bed, shoving it in her skirts. Concubine Kelani walks in, her blouse untied, allowing Emma to feed.
"Mommy, where is Brynn?" Lucy asks, looking behind for Misty or Breeze. "Edith took her to bathe. She spat up again" Mom says gently. "Have you finished copying your Zilic script?"
Lucy grimaces. "Yes, Mommy. Selena went to send to Master Gavin for review." Lucy answered mostly honest. Mom nods and adjusts Lucy's headband, causing her Yearbells to chime. "Do you want me to tie your hair up with ribbons?" Mom asks. Lucy shakes her head. "I like my hair loose" Lucy answers.
Emma snorts, her magic tumbling, and spitting within her magic pool. Lucy frowns, watching Emma's magic bouncing back, caged within her magic pool. Odd. My magic was never so obedient, not even I was a real baby. Will Emi and Bri be nulls like Mommy? Why is their magic closed off like this? Lucy pokes Emma's cheek, causing her sister eyelids to flutter.
Using Meng Long as a reference, just made Lucy anxious. His magic never left his body as hers constantly did, but it danced within him. From his toes to his ears, Meng Long pulsed with magic. It wasn't trapped in his magic pool like the twins. Should I try to coax their magic outside their magic pool? Lucy wonders. What if I mess up? Everything Aunt Thea taught me was how to shield my future children from their powers. Not strengthen it.
"Come out for tea," Mommy says. Lucy feels the letter in her skirt and resolutely ignores her empty tummy. Tea was code for a table laden with fruits, veggies, cheese, flatbread, nuts, cream, and all kinds of desserts. The entire meal disguised as a snack. Lucy shakes her head. "I'm not hungry," Lucy says. I need to read this letter from Grandmama before Selena gets back. Lucy's cheeks puff out in irritation. I don't have time to waste on magic. I need to observe the twins. Concubine Kelani frowns, feeling Lucy's forehead. "You don't have a fever. Does your stomach ache?" Kelani asks, her eyes darkening. Before Lucy can answer, Concubine Kelani crouches, seriously checking Lucy's eyes. "You skipped your mid-morning second snack. Are you dizzy? Can you see clearly? Does your skin itch?" Kelani asks. Lucy opens her mouth, but Kelani scoops her up and strides to the door. "Edith! Call for Physician Liu!" Mom calls, not bothering to let Lucy answer.
"Mommy! I'm fine!" Lucy says, her stomach roiling at the thought of drinking more medicine. He was always stuffing her with some yucky brew that did nothing! "No, your not. My poor baby is so pale. I can't believe I missed it" Concubine Kelani says, her brows furrowed.
That's only because Physician Liu is coming! HE's the BANE of this LIFE! Lucy mutters silently. Besides I'm not the baby anymore. Brynn is the youngest. Unfortunately, no one cared what Lucy thought about seeing the doctor. She was placed on a daybed, and covered head to toe with blankets, as Concubine Kelani paced. Lucy didn't bother to protest, seeing how Miss Edith and her Mom, were. They even had Misty and Breeze take the twins to the nursery. Both women stared at Lucy as if she would disappear at any second. Within minutes, Physician Liu strode into the courtyard to take Lucy's pulse. "She's lightheaded and pale. She needs more time basking in the sun, and feed her more often" Physician Liu says. What? More food! I don't have any time to paint as it is! "Also some exercise should be helpful" He adds. Lucy scowls at him, touching his mind. {Nothing wrong with children playing in the sun, and this girl is still underweight. Didn't they follow what I said to give her rich foods?} Physician Liu touches his chin, looking to be in deep thought. "I suggest recording her meals, and snacks, along with her mood and health each day. Within a month or two, you can see what foods don't give her enough energy" He says. (What prescription should I give this time? Hmm, maybe something to boost her appetite, or should I give her a supplement brew) Lucy resists her urge to slap him. If he feeds me something that makes me hungrier, I swear I wipe his memories! We'll see if anyone allows him to pass out medication if he doesn't know his own name!
I'm so hungry I wake up crying! I refuse to drink! No way!
