My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories Chapter 68.2

“Miss, you don’t know how happy I am that you have been eating well and sleeping well lately. If you continue to work hard on health care like this, I don’t think I will have any other wish in life.”

“…Yes, I will try.”

“Great! There must be many better medicines than this in the eastern continent! I’ll do anything to get you there, just trust me!”

For some reason, it seemed like Charlotte could really do it. Charlotte always shows greatness beyond my expectations. I replied with a soft smile.

“Thank you. But don’t push yourself too hard.”

“It’s impossible, at least to get medicine… uh? Harriet! What is that?”

Charlotte found Harriet in front of the inn and ran out like the wind. She quickly snatched the box from Harriet’s hand, looked around, and after she exchanged a few words with Harriet, she suddenly turned happy.

“Miss! Miss Lily!”

Charlotte sprinted to my side with the box. When she snapped the lid of her box with a ‘tda!’, a very thick bitter scent hit me.

“…….”

“This is also medicine, but it’s even better, and if you take it together with what you took before, the effect is much better! Now, go ahead and take this too!”

“…….”

“Miss? Here you go.”

“…Mmph.”

I took the pill Charlotte offered me and quickly put it in my mouth and swallowed it without chewing. Then Charlotte looked at me while widening her eyes, and Harriet, who was watching us, burst out laughing loudly.

There were so many people waiting to board the ship headed to the eastern continent. There seemed to be a good hundred people.

It was amazing that so many people hoped to go to the eastern continent. Of course, about thirty of them were people originally from the eastern continent, perhaps merchants or travelers.

Some wore the clothes of Fraunces Kingdom, while others wore the clothes of the eastern continent.

Eastern clothing generally had long, wide sleeves. However, there were a few people who tied their sleeves with a metal or leather bow.

A belt made of leather or cloth was wrapped around the waist, and jewelry made of jade or coral beads woven with thread was fastened to the belt.

Unlike the people of the Fraunces Kingdom, who usually cut their hair short, men from the east generally had their hair long enough to reach their waists.

I was curious about them, but I tried not to stare too blatantly. Curiosity could come off as rude at times, too.

“It will be our turn soon. So, Harriet?”

After waiting for a long time, it was finally our turn to board the ship. With Charlotte’s call, Harriet grinned and held out his hand.

Charlotte took his hand and shook it roughly, and Harriet held out his hand to me as well, but she slapped it away. Harriet, with the back of his hand red, pretended to be hurt.

“Ouch, it hurts. Why can’t I even say goodbye? You’re overprotective of Miss Lily.”

Before I knew it, Harriet was also calling me ‘Miss Lily’… We had been staying together for a while now, and we had become quite attached to each other, too. It’s a pity that we had to part ways now.

“Charlotte, don’t cry even if you miss me.”

“Who would miss you? Geez.”

Incredulous, Charlotte snorted at Harriet’s joke. I let them both grumble and turned to Zen.

Zen didn’t say much today, so unlike usual, his presence was lighter. For some reason, my heart was troubled when I saw that the person who had always been like the bright sunlight had a slightly gloomy complexion. I said, patting him on the shoulder.

“Young Duke, is there something that bothers you? You don’t look well today.”

“No, that… It’s not like that…”

Zen opened his mouth and let out a deep sigh before speaking again.

“…I wish I could go with you.”

“……?”

Tilting my head to the side, I was unable to understand what he meant by that. Then, after a while, I suddenly realized, “Ah.”

And I said with a sad expression as if I understood everything.

“Young Duke said you wanted to travel around the world… Don’t be too depressed. The day will come when you will also be able to travel to the East, Young Duke.”

“…….”

Zen looked at me with a speechless look for some reason… Did I say something wrong? I paused for a moment to think, but Zen hurriedly opened his mouth while looking a little impulsive.

“It’s not like that, Lily…! Sure, I want to travel around the world, but what I’m depressed about is… Not because of that…”

“……?”

“You…!”

It was at the same moment Zen was about to say something serious.

“Move! Everyone, get out of the way!”

“W-What?”

“What’s going on?”

“Who’s that?”

“He’s kind of familiar… gasp!”

A man’s shout came, and people started to murmur and then split like waves.

I too was puzzled and looked in that direction. The man who broke through the crowd and appeared like a king…

‘…Theodore…’
