[Side Story] Lizzy Paul Liana Luerg – Love and Hate
After returning to her room, Lobelia sat on a low chair and wrote a diary before going to her mother Lizzy’s room. Unfolded.
Her hands were still too small and weak to hold her pen, so her handwriting was crooked and her sentences were short and concise……
This was Lobelia’s way of relieving her own solitude and loneliness.
And Lobelia, having finished writing her diary, got down from her chair and went into the room where her mother, Lizzy, was, lost in her thoughts.
What should I do to improve the relationship between her father and mother?
Even though Lobelia had developed a way of thinking that was not appropriate for her age, she was ultimately a child and could not think of a suitable solution.
She only comes up with intuitive and simple methods, such as giving gifts at best.
Lobelia also didn’t think that the relationship between her father and her mother would improve that much, so her cute and lovely face had already learned to frown.
However, in a relatively short period of time, a moment came that gave Lobelia an answer that was not her own.
Her older sister, Carla, was sick with a cold.
* * * * *
Knowing that children have weak immune systems, Ferzen took care of them by feeding them a decoction of proven medicinal herbs.
But her efforts were in vain, and when she saw Karlea lying down in pain, she could hardly take her feet off.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with trying to build her immunity.
However, living in a cold region, isn’t it greedy for her to hope that she never catches a cold?
Since she had such a high immunity in the first place, isn’t it proof that she had to have such a strong cold that she could get through it and get sick?
“I was like this when I was young. “In Luerg, it’s practically no different from a native disease, so don’t worry too much.”
“…… Okay.”
Responding briefly to Euphemia’s words, Fersen changed her cold cloth and placed it on Karlea’s forehead.
Antibiotics such as penicillin, painkillers and fever reducers such as aspirin.
Why am I so grateful today for this clumsy world where such op-parts exist that do not fit the civilization of the times?
And Euphemia, who was standing next to her, felt as if she was a bad mother when she saw herself taking it relatively less seriously, but her heart was touched to see Fersen showing such deep paternal love. I took her chair and sat down next to her.
With this man’s personality, he will definitely stay up all night.
Since I have a second child, I can’t match his stubbornness, but I still want to stay by his side for as long as possible, so I rest my head on his.
‘…… ‘
At that time, upon hearing that Carla was sick, Lobelia, who had brought her high-quality gin candy that she had been saving, watched Euphemia and Fersen through the slightly open door and turned around to walk.
The moment she watched that sweet and happy figure, her feelings of envy bloomed strongly, and at the same time, there was only one thought that passed through her young mind.
‘Me too…… ‘
If she gets sick, will the relationship between her mom and dad get that much better?
Although he was relatively mature compared to his peers, he was still a child.
Unspoiled purity with a clear purpose…… I didn’t even realize it was self-harm.
Especially the next day, Lobelia’s thoughts became stronger when she caught up with one of her maids and asked her how her cold was.
“Hmm. If you are tired or cold, you will catch a cold. I have a sore throat, runny nose, and fever. The more you do not receive treatment in time, the more it hurts…… It is a disease that usually gets better naturally. However, if you get the injection and take the medicine, you will get better quickly without waiting, so you don’t have to worry.”
In response to Lobelia’s question, the maid explains in detail that she is worried about Karlea, who has a cold, because she is worried about her.
She said, “After talking to her, it doesn’t seem like she has a serious illness, but they say that cold is the root of all diseases, so it’s not good for her to catch it. So, she should wear tight clothes when going outside, don’t eat too much cold food, and it’s okay to study or play, but don’t overdo it. She has to go to bed early at night too. You knew. Miss?”
“Yes.”
Lobelia nodded her head in response, but her thoughts were already focused elsewhere.
* * * * *
Do the opposite of what you asked.
Lobelia, thinking that she would catch a cold if she did so, continued her erratic steadfastness.
Since the eyes of the maids and her mother, Lizzie, were stationed in the outbuildings centered around the long corridor, it was easier than expected to commit a deviation that was not a deviation.
Eating cold food was very difficult, but if you wanted to get it, it was easy to find in Ruerg.
All she had to do was play outside, hide some of the snow, and sneak it back to her room.
Of course, Lobelia was taught that her eyes should not be eaten just by themselves, but boiled or melted before feeding, so Lobelia melted her eyes in a brazier.
It was truly absurd that even though she was struggling to catch a cold, she did not forget about this and observed it……
A contradiction in childlike thinking that can be seen because it fails to connect the act of eating snow with a cold.
After boiling the snow and making it into water, Lobelia left it on her window sill to cool, and when it was lightly frozen, she sipped it or gently licked her ice.
She doesn’t forget to take off her warm outerwear and face the cold wind.
In the end, Lobelia succeeded in catching a cold, not only through her own efforts, but through her own efforts.
‘Ah…… ‘
Jureuk.
Runny nose running down.
Tingling sore throat.
It was a cough that would come out reflexively when she took a breath, but she tried to suppress it and tried not to be noticed by Lizzie when she woke up.
Whether or not she had a fever was also important, so Lobelia placed her hand on her forehead to check.
However, unless she has a fairly high fever, it is difficult to directly check her temperature using this method.
In fact, because she had a mild fever, Lobelia did not feel relieved, but rather showed disappointment.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Uh, huh…… “
At her mother Lizzy’s question, Lobelia was startled and shook her head.
It is said that if you get an injection and take medicine, you will get better quickly.
In that case, shouldn’t it at least hurt enough to heal as slowly as possible, rather than getting better right away?
This will increase the time between her mother and her father.
So, Lobelia’s strong belief that she should not be found out now that she had a cold made her hide the look of pain on her face and put on her lovely smile.
* * * * *
If you do not receive treatment in time, it becomes increasingly painful, but eventually gets better on its own.
All Lobelia could do, having pondered her maid’s words at the time, was to continue her poor efforts despite her cold.
It was difficult for her to be treated suddenly, and she had to have a fever as well.
Of course, it was relatively easy for her to achieve that goal.
Children’s body surface area is larger than that of adults, so they already lose a lot of heat, but it is strange that they are not able to achieve any results as they repeat the vicious cycle while catching a cold.
The problem was that at this point, no matter how hard Lobelia struggled, she was bound to catch a cold, but the day she got quite feverish was the day Fersen and Lizzy slept together.
Thanks to this, Lobelia, who was especially nervous and refused to let her maids touch her, wrote her diary with difficulty and lay down on her bed.
When you place your hand on your forehead, you can clearly feel the heat.
However, because the heat in her small palms was that high, contrary to her body’s abnormality, Lobelia took it relatively less seriously.
That’s why she didn’t bother to say she was sick today.
I thought it would get better quickly if I get an injection or take medicine.
‘Just a little more, just a little more…’ … ‘
Then, when you say you are sick, your mom and dad, who are not on good terms like today…… I wonder if our relationship will get better soon.
The day her older sister, Karlea, was sick.
The affectionate appearance of Fersen and Euphemia that I felt particularly envious of.
Lobelia closed her eyes as she pictured her mother, Lizzy, there.
* * * * *
“Ah…… “
The next morning, when Lobelia barely woke up, she realized that her burning sensation was gone and she looked dazed.
Other symptoms were still the same, but suddenly no fever was felt.
It brought about a considerable sense of loss in Lobelia.
Rather than being hot, the feeling is rather cold.
Lobelia, who was trying to get up from her bed due to the faint dizziness mixed in with it, stumbled and fell down.
Actually, the fever didn’t go down, it just felt like it was due to the chills……
For Lobelia, it actually feels like a natural healing process.
Squeak.
First, Lobelia had to give her sick mother her medicine, so she moved her trembling legs to the front of her cabinet.
Then, she suddenly felt thirsty and drank her water, but her stomach was having a hard time accepting even that, creating a bloated feeling.
But Lobelia, who patiently endured even that, went down the hallway and entered Lizzy’s room.
“Um, ma…… “
A clear cracking voice.
But Lobelia herself was not aware of it.
She just looked at her mother looking at her with a bruised face, where she had been stabbed by her hand, and her face started to tear up.
Is that why?
I hated my feverish body so much.
“Lobelia?”
But Lizzy immediately noticed that her lobelia was not in good condition.
The mild fever has spread to a high fever, accompanied by chills, so no matter how much Lobelia wants to hide it, she can’t.
Pale complexion, pale lips, blooming red spots.
Something tells us that the child is not normal.
“No, it hurts. It doesn’t hurt…… “
However, Lobelia shook her head at Lizzy’s expression, as if she had noticed that she had a cold.
The fever went down.
In this case, if she gets the injection and takes the medicine, won’t she get better quickly?
Such fear came over her, but Lobelia, who felt extremely dizzy just by shaking her head left and right, ended up vomiting on the spot.
“Lobelia!”
Lizzie hurriedly gets off her bed, crawls in front of her, and hugs her collapsed daughter.
The high body temperature can be clearly felt even while wearing her clothes.
When I stretched out my trembling hand and directly touched his cheek, it felt like a ball of fire.
Tuk.

Lobelia lost her mind, dropping the container of ointment she had brought for her mother in her tiny hand……
“Ah. Ah…… “
Early in the morning, the pitiful screams of an ugly, crying mother spread out.
Poor Lobelia
