"Madam's mind and body are quite weak. She seems to have suffered a great psychological shock."

After the examination, Henson stepped away from the bed and mumbled a diagnosis.

"And her heart?"

"What?"

Startled by the sudden question, Henson reluctantly raised his head.

But faced with Edwin's strong expression of displeasure, he quickly bowed his head again.

"She complained about chest pains and had difficulty breathing properly."

"That...would require a more precise examin-."

"You are incompetent."

Henson inhaled sharply at the cold words that were thrown his way.

He really wanted to cry.

'With the Duke holding her so closely, is it even possible to conduct a more thorough examination?'

But Henson knew if he didn't provide a proper explanation at that very moment, he would soon find himself in the afterlife.

"Yes, she seems to have experienced a tremendous shock. Her pulse is weak, however, there is no damage to her heart. She will be fine after resting and taking the prescribed medication."

Fortunately, the Duke seemed satisfied with his answer and didn't make any further remarks against his credibility. Instead, another question was directed towards him.

"When will she wake up?"

'How exactly am I supposed to know that? I don't even know what the hell happened to her!'

However, if he answered vaguely, the Duke might be killed for being incompetent.

On the other hand, it would also be dangerous to answer with an exact time.

If the Madam didn't wake up at the time he stated, he would surely die.

Henson instantly broke out in a cold sweat and forcibly bowed his head.

"She can make a quick recovery if you allow her to sleep as much as possible."

After he answered in a way that he barely considered to be safe, the Duke waved his hand to indicate the end of the conversation.

Hoping that was his cue to leave, Henson glanced at the butler, who nodded and led him to the door.

Once they exited the room, the butler quietly closed the door behind them and then gave Henson a look of indifference.

"Please prepare the medicine right away," the butler ordered coolly.

"Yes...yes. I will go down now and prepare it," Henson nodded with a pale face. He was visibly shaken if he had just narrowly escaped a meeting with the angel of death.

"There is one thing you must keep in mind."

Henson swallowed hard as he listened to the butler's eerie tone.

"Everything about the Madam is to be kept confidential, especially her appearance. You know what will happen if you disclose anything, right? Do you need me to remind you?"

The dimly shining brown eyes were inferior to the Duke's terrifying glare, but it was enough to send you his heart racing in fear.

"Yes, I will keep that in mind." Henson managed to suppress the urge to cry and nodded earnestly.
