"It must have been hard on you to take care of me all this time. What was your routine like? " I asked Daisy.
"Don't even think about saying that, my lady; I will always be happy to assist you. Actually, I used to wake up, clean myself, and go straight to your room, where I'd open the curtains, wash you up, and then move your legs, hands, and waist as the personal doctor taught me. At the end, after finishing taking care of you, I clean the room or do some chorus."
"Why did you call him a personal doctor?"
"He is very devoted to the family; when you joined the Dukedom, the Duke brought him especially for you, and he has been living with us since then. I performed these exercises for you so that you would have good blood circulation, avoid becoming numb, and be able to move without difficulties. He even came to check on you when you first awoke yesterday."
She must have worked extremely hard and passionately for me because I can see it in her eyes as she speaks. However, the doctor's story got me wondering what the Duke's motives were for bringing someone just for me.
"Were you doing this all by yourself, with no one helping you?"
"No, from time to time, Madam Leola helped me. We were the only ones allowed to enter your room."
Why though? This was unexpected. I will confront him tonight and ask him if he is keeping me as a secret wife from other people.
" I see. So, how was it when you arrived here? "
She looked down at her left and interlocked her fingers as if she wanted to cry, so I held her hand to comfort her, which allowed her to confess, "Actually, my lady, it was really terrible after you went into a coma. Your family kind of sold you to the duke through this marriage to address their financial problems. "
" What?!?" I yelled and rose from the chair, but she grabbed me out of my hands and forced me to sit.
"Y-your grace, please calm down and lower your voice. No one should hear us." She continued, while turning her head left and right to ensure that there was no one there. "At that time, the Duke was looking for a wife to marry, and he came directly to your family I don't know why he chose you from all the noble daughters, but your parents didn't hesitate to give you when he suggested money, and then the duke took you directly to the mansion after signing the marriage documents without any ceremony. "
So she also had toxic parents, like I did, and everyone treated her like an object; even in this period, people could be ruthless and cruel. "At this point it looks like our marriage was hidden from everybody"
"Only Leola, her husband, and I knew that you were in a coma or that you had been sold when the duke brought you. Until he announced that you were ill and had fallen into a coma two years ago. Because of the Duke's influence, no one knew the truth until today about your marriage. "
" I didn't expect him to be like that, I mean how could he buy me and-"Daisy interrupted me and corrected me, stating,
" My lady, Actually, when the Duke took you, I was thrown into the streets by your family because I argued with them about what they could have done to you. Until, at night, while I was walking in my dirty clothes, a man approached me, and he was the duke. He told me that he needed me since I was the only one who could take care of you and keep this secret. Then he immediately took me to the mansion and gave me good pay for an entire year. So I have been really grateful to him since then. "
What's this? He is really confusing me. I don't know if he is the bad guy or the gentleman. I still can read his intentions because he seems to be hiding too many things, or as if he is protecting something.
Following our conversation, I made the decision to return to my room and practice yoga in order to relieve some of the stress I was feeling. I believed that things would be different in this world; I would have people who loved me, but I think I was wrong I 'll be the only one who will still give love and support to others. In my modern life, I used to be a psychiatrist, and I did that just to understand my toxic parents and treat them, but they still did not want to change. I was single my whole life and fell in love with others in secret while they didn't even look at me. Everyone seems to avoid me, especially since I became a psychiatrist, because they believe I am a crazy person dealing with crazy people. Even though I went through all that, I decided to live happily and to not care because that was the only solution to survive.
