Marigold fell into the Yandere's arms

Chapter 8

While coming to terms with the embarrassing way he treated me like a child, Seth came in with food.

"How are you feeling?"

He watched me meticulously while the other servants filled the table with an assortment of food.

"Um...fine....."

I started to speak, but quickly decided against it in fear of being scolded by Edwin for not speaking with the confidence of a Duchess.

"Nonetheless, I think you should see the doctor after eating, as a precaution."

When I nodded in agreement, Seth left the room with the other servants after stating he would return with the doctor.

"Today, I had the chef prepare easily digestible foods for you."

The table was filled with various soups, porridge, scrambled eggs, and fruit juices.

'Oh my god, is this your solution for a digestion problem? I will have indigestion if I have to eat all of this.'

Whether he saw my irritation or not, Edwin simply smiled and started feeding me.

Fortunately, when I finished my meal, I was only moderately full. If I had eaten anymore, I probably would have collapsed.

"Now it's time for you to take your medicine. There's even chocolate here."

It made me feel so angry and emotional to see him shaking the tin of chocolate like he was waving a rattle at the baby, but I held it in.

'Regardless of how much he insists on treating me like a child, at least I'm still alive.'

With that in mind, I silently comforted myself, accepting the medicine and chocolate that Edwin pressed to my lips.

As the sweetness drifted into my mouth, even the uneasiness I felt in my heart faded away.

"It must be delicious."

Edwin pushed another piece of chocolate between my lips and smiled contentedly.

"Madam, would you like to visit the garden?" Jenny asked cautiously as I sat in a chair and stared out of my window blankly.

Edwin had been with me all morning and had recently returned to his office after lunch.

"Is that okay?"

Through the large windows in my bedroom, a well-kept and beautifully decorated garden could be seen.

"It's a warm day, but since you haven't fully recovered yet, I think it would be best if you wore a shawl."

Jenny carefully wrapped a thick light-purple shawl around my shoulders and secured it in place.

"You haven't explored the mansion or the surrounding grounds yet, have you?"

I shook my head in response. Since the moment I possessed this body, I haven't had any spare time at all.

"The garden isn't the only thing worth seeing. There is also the exhibition room, which features many great works of art that have been passed down from generation to generation."

Once we left my room, Jenny started pointing out and explaining many of the impressive amenities of the mansion while walking at a leisurely pace.

When she opened the front door, my heart fluttered as I was greeted by the warm sunlight and the fragrant scent of blooming flowers carried by the gentle breeze.

"The path to our left leads to a vast flower garden, and the right path is a scenic forest trail, which will lead us to a picturesque lake. Which way would you like to go?"
