Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 415: Substitute Bride of the Demon King (19)

Silas tightened his lips, and his face turned even colder. He rubbed his aching forehead, feeling the residual pain from last night. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This strange feeling that Yue Ran gave him made him feel uncomfortable, and what he hated the most was when things went out of his control.

Yue Ran saw him rubbing the area between his brows and thought that Silas had a headache again. Thus, she stood up from the chair and sat down on the edge of the bed with gentle and skillful movements, as if she had done this a thousand times and it had been ingrained in her bones. Her actions blatantly showed that she simply wanted to relieve the man's pain.

"You keep frowning; is your head hurting again?" Yue Ran asked, her eyes full of concern. "Then let me rub it for you."

The young woman spoke those words in a nervous and cautious manner. But before she could finish her words, her wrist was roughly slapped away, leaving her hand stung red.

Silas glared at Yue Ran, irritation etched deeply across his features as he spat out the harsh question, "Who told you to touch me?"

His voice dripped with annoyance, each syllable sharp and laden with accusation.

The young woman was stunned, frozen, caught off guard by his sudden hostility. She did not understand why the other party had turned so fierce just after sleeping, the complete opposite of last night. The warmth and intimacy of the previous night felt like a distant memory, replaced by this unexpected coldness.

Yue Ran lifted her head to look at him with a mixture of bewilderment and hurt. Her eyes widened in confusion, as if she were trying to piece together the sudden shift in his demeanor, and it took a while for her to return to normal.

After some time, she said, "Okay, if you do not want me to touch you, then I will not touch you. If Your Majesty, the Demon King, feels uncomfortable, you must tell me."

Yue Ran was not angry, her demeanor calm and composed; there was a clean and gentle smile on her face. However, no matter how one looked at it, there was a hidden sense of gloom and depression lurking beneath that smile.

Silas also caught the flicker of disappointment that sparkled in her eyes, and instinctively, a frown creased his brow. He did not know what was going on. This reaction made Silas feel, for the first time, that his attitude was a bit too much. He began to question whether his earlier behavior had been overly harsh or dismissive. After all, this woman had taken good care of him all night without enough rest and sleep.

He recalled the way she had devoted herself to him throughout the night, tending to his needs with unwavering care, despite her own exhaustion. She made him feel as if he had taken her kindness for granted.

But soon, he reacted again, and his eyes turned sarcastic. If this woman had not joined forces with the Tallis noble family to deceive him, the one who was with him at this moment would have been his sweetheart, Ellie. Right now, this fake was just making up for her sins. This fake should pay back what she owed him.

Yue Ran had calmed down as well. Seeing Silas frowning and feeling uncomfortable, her face showed a caring expression once more, as she resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She suddenly remembered something while looking at his face.

Silas had a severe headache last night, and the medicinal decoction that the doctor had instructed her to make had not yet been given to him.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Yue Ran said. "The medicine that Your Majesty should have taken has not yet been consumed."

Yue Ran knocked her head with a hand, as if she were a little annoyed that she had forgotten this.

"Wait for me for a while; I will get you your medicine," Yue Ran said. "Last night, the doctor told me that it can relieve your headache after waking up."

The young woman immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to get the medicine. The moment she rushed outside, she failed to notice that the way Silas looked at her had become increasingly strange.

The medicine in the kitchen was prepared by a special maid. When Yue Ran came back, she saw Silas resting on the bed in deep thought.

The young woman came over while carefully holding the porcelain bowl. Silas stared at the bowl of medicine and spat out, "What medicine is this?"

The tone of his voice clearly showed his suspicion of her.

Yue Ran did not mind his increasingly offensive behavior, as if she were a soft bun that could be bullied at will and would never retaliate. She simply explained softly with a faint smile on her lips, "The doctor said that the headache was caused by the chaotic clash of the energy in your body. An ordinary drug is not effective for your treatment. This medicinal decoction is made from magical plants that the doctor himself prescribed. It can suppress the chaotic energy in your body and relieve your headache."

Silas was still worried even after hearing the explanation. He stared at the bowl of medicine held in the hands of the woman with a flash of suspicion in his eyes.

Not caring about the man's reaction, Yue Ran carefully blew on the surface of the soup to cool it down. Noticing Silas appearing so reluctant to take the bowl of medicine from her, she seemed to think of something, blinked, and then pursed her lips to prevent a playful smile from threatening to appear on her face.

"Are you worried that the medicine is too bitter, Your Majesty?" Yue Ran blinked, and the smile in her eyes became more obvious. "It should be a little bit bitter. The herbs are boiled into juice like this, and it is…"
