Summary
“Alive?” She asks.
“Yes, my lady.”
She hums.
“How unfortunate.” She says, finally, under her breath, and Minho risks a glance at her expression. “Is his situation dire?” She raises her chin slightly, still examining the body of the man on the cot.
“My lady, he is strong. He will be awake in a couple of hours. Just… in pain.”
She takes another long onceover at him, before fixing Minho with a tired expression; “Ensure that he stays asleep until midnight. If he continues to cling to life until then… We will transport him and you to… a residence. Further uphill. Then I will decide what to do with him.”
Minho nods; but in truth, dislikes that he is now tasked with the stranger like a servant would. He did disclose that he is educated with herbs and medicine, but he didn’t explain to what extent, and couldn’t help but wonder if she knew more about him than she led on.
The mistress stands up to leave, but then pauses lightly, a small smile gracing her lips. “Rejoice, child. Your dead husband has returned alive from the war.”Or, the one where Lee Minho, an omega on the run, accepts a ghost marriage to a dead great nobleman for coin.
