Neverending Abyss

CHAPTER 4

---

_Husband?_

_I have a husband?...._

Before she could know her body already crash at the near cabinet, every maids who's walking behind her immediately got alerted and assisted the Senora.

_**"Madame, you should take a rest first let us help you"**_ the concern voice of Lily feels so distant.

But why?

Her body feels strangely strange today... but for what reason? Why all of a sudden? She was still after the shock of her having a husband so why of all times her body feels so heavy.

_**"Lily..."**_ she whisper weakly as if she was put of breath.

_**"Yes Madame, what is it?"**_

Lily's hand touches her to prevent her from falling but her touch feels so light, no— she didn't feel anything when Lily touch her as if she never touch her at all.

The surrounding started to melt in her eyes and everything is turning upside down, even the worried faces of the servants that was looking at her was unrecognizable at her point of view.

For the first time of being reincarnated in this world she felt scared, scared for her life once again.... the same familiar feeling she always felt before was once felt again.

A pang of pain hit her that made her lips parted, it was a pain that she never felt before, a pain that hurts more than she had before.

Without knowing, her hand unconsciously squeeze her chest really hard for her to be conscious that she cannot breath anymore.

_**"Madame!!! Madame!!!"**_

_**"Immediately call the together!!"**_

_**" The Senorita is convulsing again, immediately prepare her bed"**_

Her pale small body fall into the faller and it was Lily who supported her with panicked.

_Lily...I...can't see your face .._ god knows how she badly want to utter those words but not sound would come out from her mouth.

The voice of panicking servants slowly became distant as if they're so far, and also Lily who was just in front of me.

Her hands reach and hold Lily's maid dress.

_**"I'm.... scared"**_ she lastly whisper before losing her consciousness and let her body fall in Lily's arms.

---

_**"Doctor, how was the madame's condition?"**_

Her eyes feels so heavy when she slowly open it to see Lily talking to a middle age man.

_**"The madame already collapse 3 times this month, and no matter how long I've been here in the field of medicine, I see no medication that can treat her."**_

Lily can't do anything but to hopelessly nod.

_**"For now on, all I could do was to gave her first aid paramedics, but just like before it won't last long, as much as possible the Madame should be consulted to higher doctor or a healer if possible... excuse me."**_

When the sound of the door locked heard was the only time that Lily turn around to look at the Madame only to know that she's already wide awake.

_**"Madame?"**_

Aurea raised her hands to stop her before she could even ring the bell and send other servants inside her room.

_**"I want to relax for the time being so don't"**_ she said as her words sounds like a threat that Lily immediately put the bell back down.

Minutes of silence win between them, all Aurea did was stare at the ceiling cluelessly and think of where should she start.

_**"Lily?"**_

_**"Yes Madame!!"**_

_**"Since...when have I started fainting like this?"**_

Lily's lips parted at the question of her master, she stare at her who's still staring straight at the ceiling.

The Madame was once in her old self again...and that alone scared her.

_Why now? When everyone thought she already change._

_**"Just months ago Madame!!"**_

Months ago? Isn't that the day she came here? Or earlier than that?

_**"I see..."**_

_How dumb for me to think that this life could be different from my previous...even in this life I'm sick and weak—_

_**"Madame!!"**_ she was taken back at the sudden out burst of Lily that it made her look at her. _**"I...no! We... We will make sure that the Madame won't die, we won't allow it!!"**_

Aurea found her lips slightly open after hearing what Lily said, she pressed her lips together as she look down and chuckle, and that alone made Lily really embarrass.

_**"Don't you think that dying is too soon?"**_ she said with a smile in her lips.

_**"But...the doctor....the doctor said that your disease is something that he cannot cure"**_ Lily said as small liquid of tears started to form in her eyes that made her look more funnier.

Aurea can't help to smile, not even once in her previous life she could remember someone so eager for her not to die like this.....

Or maybe there was someone....

_(“I'm hoping that you'll take your medicine regularly Belle!")_

...Ofc, how could she forgot that someone?

_**"Lisa..."**_ she whisper.

****

_**"Madame??"**_

_**"Forgive me, you made me remind of someone"**_ a smile was struck in her lips as she said those.

Lily unconsciously clench the edge of her clothes, little did she wonder if the Madame smile like that before?

No. She didn't. Not even once...

_I made the Madame smile like that..._ and that thought alone warm Lily's heart for the first time.

_**"It seems like that someone is dear to you Madame, I'm glad that I resemble that someone in the littlest way!"**_

She nodded as she remove the blanket away from her body and sat at the edge of the bed. _**"Yes— so can you help me dress now? I feel uncomfortable with this dress I'm wearing you see.”**_ she said smiling.

**************

I stood in front of the tall mirror in front of me and let Lily undress me, this situation use to make me awkward days earlier when I came in this body, but it seems like I'm slowly using it by now.

Staring at my reflection now made me realize how lucky am I now, a beautiful and adequate body, not quite a bad face, money, and people who seems to care for me a lot. It was something I long in my previous life.

It almost feel like I'm inside of a story even if I'm really am.

_**"Hooo..."**_ a deep sigh finally escape from my mouth as soon as the tight corset in my waist finally loosen up.

It was dumb of me to think that wearing a corset like those books I read was good and magical, but screw my mindset back then, cause corset really is killing me, it so hard to breathe with corset, it's annoying and very frustrati—

**BLAAAGGGGG**

My attention was instantly dispatch to Lily when I heard something fall, as I look by a flabbergasted face of Lily made me wonder why she unconsciously drop my corset.

_**"Lily..."**_ i call out for her name, wanting to know why is she looking at my back with eyes of someone who saw something hideous.

My voice instantly raised when Lily didn't reply. _**"Lily what is it?!!"**_ I yelled.

_**M...madame...your back...”**_ she even hardly form words to say.

What is it in my back that made her react lile that.

I turn around and face my back in the mirror and twist my head a little in the side to see what's is it in my back that made Lily like that...

My eyes incontinently widen, and later on understood why Lily was in that reaction.
