Relief filled him, and he returned her smile. “Alright.”
Vetta did not like the look on Monah’s face at all. The healer had finished examining her. She walked to the inner room, cameout carrying a glass of water, and gave it to Vetta, who looked at her suspiciously. “Tell me what’s going on, Monah. I do not like the look on your face at all.”
“Drink the water first. It will alleviate the pain for now. I will get the herbs you need ready very soon,” the older woman instructed.
Vetta opened her mouth to protest, but she felt the familiar sharp pinch on her belly. She took the water from Monah and downed it in one shot.
“Done. Tell me what’s wrong? Am I pregnant?” she asked with barely concealed eagerness….
Monah took the cup from Vetta and looked her in the eyes. “Few weeks ago was it your first miscarriage?”
She wondered what that had got to do with anything. “No, it wasn’t.”
“And you didn’t think to mention this when you came to take the flushing herbs, Mistress? I asked, and you told me it wasn’t important!” Monah cried, stricken.
Vetta arched her brows, sitting up on the table. “That was because it wasn’t. You just wanted a reason to gossip with your friends. Tell me what’s wrong with me and give me herbs for it! Stop wasting my time,” she responded through gritted teeth.
“There’s been severe damage to your womb,” Monah breathed out slowly.
The mistress blinked twice. No, she didn’t hear that clearly. “What did you just say?” Vetta demanded.
“The pains, the cramps, the pinches, the bleedings….all of it wasn’t from Door-ga or because you’re pregnant. You have severe damage to your womb, Mistress.”
Vetta’s mind went blank. The words kept whirling around in her head, and it was as if a blockage kept them from penetrating. For a full minute, she stared at Monah, her head blank. Her mouth opened and closed wordlessly. Repeatedly.
When the meaning of those words finally penetrated, Vetta was absolutely devastated. “No. No, Monah, there must be some kind of mistake,” she whispered.
But Monah shook her head. “You have been here for more than three hours of the clock, Mistress. I checked and rechecked.” She shook her head sadly again. “There is no mistake; you have a damaged womb.”
“No…” Vetta couldn’t believe this. All her dreams…her world came crashing around her. Her womb was damaged.
“You said it’s not your first miscarriage?” the woman inquired softly.
Vetta nodded slightly, her head filled with words she wished were never true. Her body trembled dreadfully.
“That’s your second?”
“The third,” she admitted reluctantly. “First was the first few months in slavery. The other was the last few months of slavery. Then this recent one.”
“Oh. That will do it.” Monah dropped the cup and sat down beside her. “If I’d examined your body when you came for Door-ga, I would have found out about this on time and prevented it. I wouldn’t have given you a drug as powerful as Door-ga.”
Vetta remembered vividly the way she refused all examinations. She’d been in a hurry to get to Karandy and make the plans of how to ‘kill three birds with a stone.’ Her eyes closed in sheer misery. If only she’d let Monah examine her on that day!
“So what’s going to happen now?” she asked, turning to stare at Monah. “How much will it cost me for you to repair my womb, Monah?”
“Mistress—” Monah began.
“You don’t understand. I have to get pregnant for him. I have to carry his child!!!” she burst out.
“It’s not possible, Mistress! It’s severely damaged, and nothing can be done about it. The only thing to do is to give youan herb that will flush your system completely-flush out the remains of your womb so that it won’t result in a more terminal problem for you!”
“There is no problem more terminal than what you’re telling me now! I need to have my womb! I need to give the king a child!!”
If she wanted a child so badly, why did she flush out the previous one? Monah pursed her lips, unable to understand her patient.
Vetta lowered her head and began crying her heart out.
Danika stayed with Sally all day. It was one of the best days of her life.
Sally’s company has always been the best company ever. Danika was supposed to wash clothes today, but Baski was adamant that she was to do nothing but rest and recuperate.
She’d heard from Baski that Angie examined her body while she was asleep, and he’d already told the king the results of his check-up on her. She wasn’t particularly perturbed because she still felt pregnant. Her child-her son-was still inside her. It gave her immeasurable joy, coupled with her relationship with the king, and kept her smiling all day.
Danika had done nothing all day, only resting. And more resting. It was exhausting. But Sally’s wonderful company made everything so beautiful.
“And that’s how they lived happily ever after,” Sally concluded as she closed the book and kept it aside.
“You improved greatly in reading. Oh, Sally, I’m so proud of you,” Danika gasped excitedly from the bed she lay.
Sally grinned, her cheeks glowing with a blush. “I made sure to dedicate most of my daily time to reading, my princess. Just the way you taught me,” she answered radiantly.
“Tell me how you’ve been. How’s life with your husband?”
Her eyes glinted brightly. “So beautiful, my princess. I couldn’t have wished for a better man than Chad. He treats me so right-like I’m more than I am.”
“You’re so much more than you are, Sally. I’m so happy Chad is treating you right. You both have been married for two months now.” She felt so happy for Sally but also a little bit of envy for her best friend.
Sally only smiled at that longing in her princess’s eyes. “You might never know, my princess. Look how far you’ve come. From being a monster’s daughter to a hated slave. And now? Now, you’re the woman the king wants and cares for. You just might never know what tomorrow will hold,” she concluded with a smile.
Danika dipped her head, sadness crossing her eyes. “It’s because I’m carrying his child. It’s not really because of me.”
“You and I know that you don’t believe that either. He only learned about your pregnancy yesterday, but he has been changing towards you for ages. Am I wrong?” Sally asked curiously.
Danika didn’t need to think about it because she knew Sally was right. She nodded.
Sally took her hand into hers. “All will be fine. No, all is already fine. I’m so happy you’ve been exonerated from those awful charges.”
That brought a smile to Danika’s face. “I’m so happy that I was exonerated too.”
