Chapter 246 The Hot-And-Cold Princess

“Oh, what I mean is, take care of Daddy. I’ll head out first!” Hansel smiled.

Mark immediately rolled his eyes. This brat almost ruined his plan.

Lyla nodded. “Don’t run around, understand?”

“Okay, I’ll go see Lola!” After saying that, Hansel smiled and immediately walked out.

Lyla looked at Mark and saw him sitting with an expression full of pain. “How is it?”

“I’m fine!” he shook his head.

He said he was fine but still looked like he was in pain. Lyla looked at the doctor, who immediately went up to check.

Mark knew that refusing to see the doctor at this time would definitely arouse Lyla’s suspicion. She was smart so it was difficult to fool her, so he had to bite the bullet and let the doctor check on him.

The doctor could not find anything at all.

In the end, the doctor opened his mouth. “There’s no big problem, no wounds, no tears. Remember to not make large movements and there should be no problem!”

Mark nodded, and he went out.

Hearing that he was fine, Lyla also felt relieved.

After the doctor left, Lyla looked at him. “How is it, does it still hurt?”

Mark leaned against Lyla’s chest. “As long as you stay by my side, I'll be fine!”

Lyla’s mouth hooked up in a smile. “Really?”

“At the very least, seeing you can help distract me!”

Lyla laughed. “What a glib talker!”

“I really mean it, so could you stay by my side?”

“Am I not accompanying you right now?!” Lyla retorted.

Mark leaned against her. “It’s been so long since I saw your smile. I haven’t felt this relaxed for so long!”

Hearing this, Lyla realized that the atmosphere was not that tense anymore and that heart-wrenching feeling was also gone.

Thinking of this, Lyla’s heart felt much steadier.

The two of them chatted inside, and time passed unknowingly.

“Alright, I’ll stop talking for now. It’s quite late now, I want to see Gretel!”

“I’ll go with you!”

“No, your injury hasn’t recovered. You shouldn’t move!"

“I want to see Gretel!”

“You can see her after you’re better!”

“Am I not able to see her as long as I’m still injured?”

“You still shouldn’t be moving around at the very least!”

“But…”

“Tomorrow, you can go after you get slightly better!” Lyla understood that he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal, so she could only delay him instead of stopping him.

Mark nodded, “Okay!”

He agreed for the time being.

“I’ll be going now!”

Mark then nodded reluctantly.

Lyla smiled and extended her hand to pat his head. “Good boy…”

Mark enjoyed it very much.

Under his gaze, Lyla left.

When she left, Mark’s gaze gradually dropped.

Everything seemed to be getting better for now, but he knew that there was still a storm waiting for them.

……

Soon, Gretel’s medicine was completed.

As she was about to deliver it, Lyla and Mark arrived at Gretel’s ward.

Seeing her, they could finally see the lively Gretel again.

Without her, life seemed to lack a dose of flavor.

At this time, Felix and Lola walked in.

After seeing them, Felix lowered his eyes and ignored the tall figure.

Lyla and Mark turned to look at Lola. “How is it?”

“We can inject it now, but…”

“But what?”

“I think I must talk about the consequences of this matter!”

“Consequences?” Lyla and Mark looked at each other. “What consequences?” Lyla asked.

“Since she has been injected for a long time and she has already gotten the first dose of medicine, although I’ve stopped it for you, the medicine is already in her body. It’ll be a bit dangerous if we want to clear it completely!”

“Why didn’t you say this earlier?”

“Saying it early or late won’t change anything. You can choose to inject it or not, but I believe that no matter what, it probably wouldn’t change your decision!” Lola replied.

They kept silent.

Even though that was the case, it would still be unbearable to suddenly hear such bad news.

If they knew of it beforehand, they could have prepared for this in their hearts, but they had not.

“Do it!” Mark spoke.

Lyla looked at him.

“This is the only way now. There’s still a chance if we try, but if we don’t, she’ll eventually…” Mark did not finish his sentence. He anxiously decided because he did not want Lyla to blame herself if anything happened to Gretel.

If something really were to happen, Mark was willing to take responsibility. Even if he had to blame himself for the consequences for the rest of his life, he did not want Lyla to bear such a burden.

Lyla glanced at Mark, then looked at Lola. “What are the odds?”
