The Exhausting Reality of Novel Transmigration

s better, and overall, her condition won’t deteriorate quickly.”

Though in other words, her condition was still steadily worsening.

Diana already knew this, but she thought about why exactly it was like that.

Her younger sister had been administered some strange medicine all this time, and just recalling that fact made Diana’s blood boil.

And in the end, the worsening of the disease couldn’t be stopped.

All that could be done right now was to make the deterioration slower.

“One of the medicinal herbs that Her Ladyship told me to use in the formulation is good for detoxification.
Thanks to that, the effects of poisoning from those illegal medications have been reduced a lot.”

Logan said this as he rummaged through his coat pocket and took out a notebook, where he jotted down some notes with a pen.

Diana paused and looked back at Logan.
Then, she closed her eyes and smiled.

Beneath the closed lids, she could see Rosetta’s face.

A roof over their head, walls surrounding them, a floor beneath their feet, and food provided for them.
What came to Diana’s mind was Rosetta’s face when she said that she would become anything for the two sisters.

“As expected, Lady Rosetta is…”

Diana murmured faintly as she opened her eyes once more.

“Zobel has worked very hard on creating the medicine, too.”

Logan, too, added with a murmur.

Diana’s eyes widened, then she gave Zobel a smile.

“Sir Zobel, thank you very much.”

“No, I just… I only did… did it as it was written.”

It’s been a while since his voice broke out into a stutter, but it was because he was still not familiar with receiving compliments.

Turning his back on the sight of those kids, Logan compiled the data.

A bit later, Diana left the clinic with Ria in her arms.

She was here thanks to Rosetta’s kindness.
She allowed Diana to leave work early today because she knew that it was Ria’s check-up day.

After the child and her older sister left, the clinic was left with silence.

Zobel helped Logan until late that day, then he turned in for the night.

That is, Logan made Zobel stop working with a sharp shake of his head.

One would instantly think that Logan was being cold, but Zobel wasn’t hurt by this at all.

Logan was acting cold, but Zobel knew that his teacher was a warm-hearted person.

A while ago when Lady Rosetta’s name was mentioned to credit Ria’s medication, didn’t Logan bring up Zobel’s name, too?

Zobel liked how Logan showed subtle acts of kindness, and for that, he looked up to Logan a lot.

He was the opposite of David.

Right, the opposite of the kind of person Lady Rosetta was.

Someone who looked a bit difficult to gauge and seemed very cold, but nevertheless treated people they regarded as ‘my people’ with kindness.

Suddenly, he recalled the day that the ducal lady said that she’d support him.

When he asked why she’d go to that extent for him, she just said that there was a medicine that she wanted him to make.

‘It’s not some strange drug—my person’s family member is sick.
I need you to make medicine to cure that illness.’

When the ducal lady said ‘my person’, her expression was difficult to describe.

At first glance, what flashed across her features to be along the lines of kindness, coldness and pity.
However, there seemed to be a hint of anger as well.

Seeing her show those kinds of emotions, Zobel felt that he wanted to be one of her people, too.

“Her Ladyship asked me to deliver a message.”

While Zobel was praising Logan and Rosetta inwardly, he blinked up at Logan the moment he heard the word ‘lady’.

Somehow, just like a man who’d been caught doing something wrong.

Seeing the unnecessary reaction from Zobel, Logan raised one eyebrow, but he continued speaking.

“She said that she’d get the ingredients for you in a few months at the latest, so right now, you have to start preparing to research how to make Ria’s medicine.”

“Ah, the ingredients.”

His carrot-colored eyes brightened up at the mention of ingredients and research.

Logan stared at the younger man wordlessly, then he asked a question that he’d been wanting to ask for a while now.

“By the way, what are those ‘ingredients’? I don’t think I’ve heard exactly what they’ll be.”

Gulp.

Instead of answering Logan’s question right away, Zobel held his breath anxiously.

Zobel looked like he was being extremely careful about this, so for a moment now, Logan slightly regretted that he asked for no reason.

However, the answer that was returned to him was far from the cautious answer he was expecting.

“I don’t know.”

“Hm?”

The hum that passed through Logan’s lips was not unjustified.
That’s how incredulous the situation was.

Even the main pharmacist in charge did not know what the ingredients would be.

“All I heard is that one of the ingredients is something that hasn’t appeared in the world yet, that’s why it’ll take some time to get it ready…”

‘An ingredient that has yet to appear in the world, huh…’

Logan silently brooded over what Zobel said.

It was something that he couldn’t comprehend, but strangely, he also understood it.

‘No wonder.
Is that why she didn’t put in a request with the Madam?’

Then, he speculated.

She commissioned the Madam to procure all the ingredients for the elixir, but oddly enough, she didn’t request any medicine or any ingredients related to Ria’s disease.

He wanted to ask just what kind of undiscovered ingredient it was and how exactly she knew about it if it had yet to appear in the world, but Logan shook his head without hesitation.

Given his long experience of working under Blanca, he knew that the easiest way to handle this was to bury these questions.

She always denied it, but in many aspects, Rosetta really did resemble his master.
