My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 184: "I hope Sir Asher Won’t Die."

Chapter 184: "I hope Sir Asher Won’t Die."

As they had discussed before, Soon, Asher moved to Lucas’s place which was a little far away but very peaceful.

Asher felt comfortable enough as only Lucas was living there and none around was coming to bother them.

During this time, Felix couldn’t stay with Asher all the time. He would have gone to stay with Asher at night but because Asher himself and Felix felt he should not leave Anne all alone for months straight, it’s decided that Felix would go and visit Asher whenever he can, also with Anne sometimes.

Since Lucas was at home most of the time and he wasn’t careless enough to leave Asher all alone by himself, Felix knew he really didn’t have to worry. Asher was at the right place.

Asher did miss Felix a lot during the months away from Felix’s mansion. No one could fill the emptiness that only Felix could fill. But Asher endured it. It was all for the best of them.

It was actually the best thing they did because very soon, Asher’s stomach got very big. It was concerning and Lucas can’t even count how many times he had to console Felix explaining it was fine and normal to get his stomach stretched that much.

It was safe to say, everything was fine.

Other than the fact Felix had been suffering during his heats alone.

Asher did not get his heats during the pregnancy. Maybe they stopped mid pregnancy. But Felix’s ones came like usual. Obviously...There was no reason for his heat to suddenly stop.

He had been relying on Lucas’s pills for all these seven months, almost eight.

He could endure it even though it’s not the best feeling.

But it feels unfamiliar to him now when the body aches and the discomfort linger in his body for days. He was used to getting help by Asher. So, guess that’s why.

"Karl said he will come and visit Asher too. I think he has a pre-birth gift for Asher."

Lucas said with a chuckle to Felix when he came to visit Asher.

"I see. It better not be gold."

Felix groaned and Lucas Laughed.

"I explained to him that he doesn’t have to spend a lot of money to gift someone. He is on the mindset that the more expensive the gift is, the more valuable the gift is. He’s not wrong though.

He doesn’t understand he should get a gift according to the situation. Maybe it’s because he never got gifts like that. He always got gold. His father thought he was spoiling and loving him...when actually gold could not please that little child. But he still follows that same tradition. I need to stop that bastard."

Lucas said.

Listening to how Karl is thinking, it actually surprised Lucas how Karl looks joyful all the time. Because it all just sounded depressing. His father might have actually loved him by pampering him. But it was just...like...it seemed like a very effortless attempt to show him love.

Lucas didn’t express this straight but he did explain how it will be better to think about the ceremony or situation when he thinks about a gift.

The good thing is Karl isn’t greedy. He would spend a lot of the money mostly for other people. Lucas can’t even remember how much Karl had spent for him. That one good thing from Kalr.

’Other than that, he doesn’t have anything good. That bastard is a monster.’

.....

Under the care of Lucas, another two months went by.

As they discussed further steps, Lucas recommended delivery surgery on the first day of the tenth month.

Actually, he did go back to the witch to know what will be the best.

And, how exactly he should lead things so nothing could go wrong.

It wouldn’t have been bad to ask the witch herself to help Asher but Asher when heard that, somehow didn’t want that despite wanting the best option, the best one to operate on him, the one with the experience.

Asher begged, refusing to let her do that which surprised both Lucas and Felix.

So they understood maybe he wasn’t very comfortable with the witch operating on him.

’Maybe he just wants it to be done by a person he actually trusts...’

Lucas was advised regarding many things and Lucas remembered it all, ready for the big day as days passed.

Felix, on one hand, was really really nervous. Sometimes he panics thinking he is not ready. But then sometimes he gets excited knowing he will be a father...again.

He was confused but also excited and anxious. Still, he had his mind focused.

He knew he needed to stay calm and strong for Asher.

He knew he couldn’t panic.

He knew he had to hold himself together.

’I am excited. Really Excited. But I’m also worried. Then, again...Happy. but then...scared.’

Felix always ended up feeling grumpy as he found himself on a loop thinking which distracted him from even everyday tasks.

Actually, for a few days, Felix had not been doing great at his job. Bill handled most of the work as he was unable to focus and do it right which he felt ashamed of but not too pressured.

Maybe having Bill, who definitely would be solving all for him, relieved him.

So because of this, Bill got a big raise too. He didn’t understand why the duke was suddenly so generous and weird. But, Bill wasn’t curious. He just wants to work, get his money and leave.

However, the maids were a little different.

They had not really caught onto Felix’s behaviour as they rarely saw him. But they did feel sorry when they found out sir Asher was nowhere to see.

It didn’t seem like sir Asher d-died...as some predicted...

The duke looked normal so it can’t be that happened.

Maybe sir Asher went away to get treatment for his sickness...

"He had a big appetite too."

"Yeah, he looked swollen. It’s a sudden change."

"Maybe it’s not anything serious."

"I don’t think so. Did you not see? The duke was paying more attention and being very good to sir Asher. And, he sometimes looked worried too. That’s why I thought and still think there is something big happening"

"Whatever...I just hope sir Asher won’t die."

"What are you saying?! Thu! Don’t even say such a thing!"

"I am sorry!"

"By the way, what do you think Nala is doing now?"

"Heh! I guess she must be eating mud cursing Asher. It’s her bad luck that made Sir Asher sick!"

"Sigh...Stop talking. We have work here."

One of the maids jumped to disturb the group of maids murmuring and as they realised they had work, they went on their ways after the third round of the gossip time for the day.

Actually....Where was sir Asher?

They are really curious.

And...was worried for him.

Sir Asher was such a nice person.

So they really wished he would get better.
