Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Mrs. King's miraculous medical ability quickly spread throughout the Highlands, especially at Grant's festival, the story of Gus' resurrection was even more colorful. No one from the Mai family attended the feast because their lord's only son, who was only three months old, fell ill and everyone believed that the child would die because he seemed to have inherited his father's stubbornness, and the little doll severely rejected his mother's The vomiting after each feeding made him lose weight and weaken quickly, making him unable to eat. The grieving Lord Mai sought solace alone in his beloved wood, where he wept aloud where no one saw him, for he was convinced that by the time he returned home his child would be dead.

The Fei family and the Mai family are an alliance, but the feud between the Mai family and the Luo family has been going on for generations.On the other hand, however, the Jin family has been an ally of the Luo family since one of the Luo family's warriors rescued a Jin family girl from drowning in the river.In the name of honor, the Jin family naturally had to join the Luo family to fight against the Mai family. However, when it comes to her precious son, Mrs. McNair throws Highland conventions aside, knowing only that she must find a way to use Mrs. King's magical medical skills to revive her son.

Mrs. Mai took her young son to Fei's house to ask Mary for help.At this time, Danny and Ariel were still chasing the bandits who injured Gus, so Mary decided to send the child to her sister. All the soldiers of the Jin family knew whose child Mary was carrying, and everyone knew what happened on the high ground.But no one mentioned to their mistress that the infants of the enemy were in her care.They understood that Mrs. King would not care; after all, she was English and knew nothing of feuds in the Highlands.Besides, with her gentle nature, even if she knew, she would not refuse to save a dying baby, and they had all seen her stubbornness in insisting on treating Gus in front of Ariel, they would not Will try again.

But Gavin knew very well what would happen to the Mai family's children if they died on the Jin family's land.He glanced at the emaciated baby and decided that war was inevitable.He ordered the soldiers to start preparing for battle, and sent two other men to chase Ariel back and wait patiently for the Mai family to launch an attack. Four days later, the baby was taken care of by Jie Mi so that he could eat and sleep, and then the whole family of the Mai family came outside the city, demanding to take back the body for burial. Gavin only allowed their lord and two warriors to enter, and he and Marco waited in the courtyard.

Just as Jie Mi put the baby to bed, she heard shouts coming from the courtyard.She ran out to see what was going on, and when she saw the three men with fierce looks on the horse, she immediately stopped in her tracks.She knew they were not from the Kim family because they all wore black cloaks. I'm coming for my dead son, growled the burly man in the center.And when I come back again, this place will be splattered with the blood of the Xuejin family. Did someone die, Gavin?Jamie asked. Gavin didn't turn his head when he answered her.Jamie could forgive that vicious stranger who looked like the type to sneak up on people in the back.Mai Shijie came for his son.

Jamie also felt the tension in the air, and she noticed that the stranger was glaring at her fiercely.She straightened her shoulders. She is Jin Yalie's woman?The stranger in the middle yelled. Yes.Gavin replied. Then she is the one who stole my child! Does this person have to yell every word?Jamie couldn't believe that such a cute child had such a vicious father.The lord of the Mai family is not young anymore, but he is still very big and strong. Marco turned his head to look at Jamie, his face showed no emotion at all.Go get the kids out. Hurry up, woman! Just as Jie Mi turned her head, she heard Lord Mai's rude order. She stopped and turned to face him slowly.

I just want to take my time.she said. I want my dead child!Jie Mi suspected that she was going to be deafened, and this stranger was like a big black bear that was wounded.She tried to control her temper, telling herself that he was just overwhelmed by sadness. Jie Mi came out with the baby in her arms. Because of the cold weather, the baby was tightly wrapped in a blanket.There was no emotion on the old lord's face, and Jamie walked up to him and lifted the blanket over his head. give him to me! Stop yelling at me now, she ordered.I don't allow you to wake this child up after I managed to put him to sleep. Is that clear enough?

wake him up? I just told you not to shout!Jie Mi also raised her volume, and regretted following her, the child in her arms woke up and began to make noises uneasily.Jie Mi lowered her head and smiled at the child, so she didn't see the fleeting surprise on Lord Mai's face. Jamie looked up at the child's father.Look what a good thing you have done!You woke him up!Jamie patted the child on the back, and he hiccupped.Oh, this is a good boy.She murmured and pressed a kiss on the child's forehead. She turned to Lord Mai's expression to become stern again.God knows how God gave you such a lovely child, I really don't understand.Reluctantly handing the child back to his father, she noticed that his hands were trembling slightly.Lord Mai did not comment on her words, but she continued: Before you take him away, I must give you some instructions.

The old lord still didn't speak, and didn't dare to show his excitement on his face?Because doing this is tantamount to weakening your position in front of the Jin family.But his eyes almost popped out, and at that moment, the baby in his arms hiccupped again. He is not dead? If you keep shouting like this, sooner or later you will kill him.Jamie said.Now, listen carefully, sir, you must tell your wife to feed your children only with goat's milk from now on. I will not say. Jie Mi's reaction was as if she had been struck by lightning, and her movements were even faster. Before Lord Mai realized what had happened, she had snatched the child back and hugged it to her chest.Then you'd better keep your child, Lord Mai, I won't let you kill him with your ignorance, and pick him up when he's old enough to defend himself!

Lord Mai's eyes were as big as copper bells.He looked at Gavin, and then back at Jamie.give him to me! You must first promise that you will feed him goat's milk. He will drink his mother's milk, woman. He doesn't like his mother's milk. Are you insulting my wife? Jamie really wanted to knock some reason into that stubborn head.I'm just telling you how to keep this kid alive, she growled.He was too ill to survive another bout of vomiting.She walked up to Mai Shijie's horse again and said: Promise me! He nodded stiffly, and Jamie happily handed the baby back to him, and she walked over to Gavin and Marco, muttering, "You're the most ungrateful person I've ever met."

Not grateful? He was yelling again, and Jemi turned her head and gave him a sharp look.Yes, without gratitude, she yelled back. You should be expressing your gratitude, not yelling at me, Mais! The lord's eyes were slit, and she knew he felt a major blow to his pride, but she couldn't understand why.I want you to apologize to me for stealing my son!the man yelled.If I hadn't heard, we'd be talking about war. All you really need is a good kick, you old sheep!Jamie called back.If you don't show a little more respect, I will literally kick you! You stole my child. Jamie couldn't believe the man's stupidity, and his horse seemed as vicious as its owner.As soon as Mai's lord let go of the rein for a bit, it tried to bite Jamie's shoulder, and Mai's lord didn't seem to have any intention of controlling his horse. You have to apologize!he yelled. Jie Mi opened his horse with his hand and replied: How dare you ask me to apologize?You know I didn't steal your baby, and you can stand here as long as hell freezes if you like, but you'll never hear me apologize! Jamie's concentration was interrupted by the child's wailing.Oh, take your son back to his mother.she ordered.Also, don't set foot on Kim's soil again until you've learned manners. Lord Mai's expression seemed like he wanted to slap her, and then he let go of the rein on purpose.His horse immediately tried to bite Jamie's shoulder again, and this time Jamie slapped it hard. The Mai family lord roared angrily: She hit my horse!he shouted.You all saw it, Kim Ayeol's woman hit my horse, it's one thing to insult a man's wife, but to hit his horse oh god!Jamie interrupted him.Get out now, or I'll hit you next! The soldier on the left side of Lord Mai family stretched out his hand to draw his sword, Jie Mi drew out her dagger at the same time, aimed at the soldier and said: Take your hands off the weapon, or this dagger will be in your throat the next moment.And when I hit someone, she threatened.I'm not in charge of tinkering! The soldier hesitated for a moment, then did as she was told.Jamie nodded.Now, leave my land!She said, turned and left, and put the dagger back into the scabbard. Suddenly she felt extremely tired.She hadn't lost her temper for a long time, and she felt a little sorry for her behavior just now, especially when Marco and Gavin witnessed it. But all this is the fault of Lord Mai.The man probably lived in a cave, and his manners were like those of an animal, and he could drive even a saint mad. Jie Mi decided that retreat was the best strategy, she turned around fiercely, and didn't even look at Lord Mai's family anymore, and then she saw a whole row of Jin family soldiers blocking in front of her, and she was completely stunned.They were armed and ready for battle, but the worst was not this, but Ariel standing in the center of the soldiers. Oh, he must have seen it all.Jamie's head was hurting, and she suddenly wished she'd escaped back to England. The expression on Ariel's face was enough to scare the hair off the goat. Compared to him, the Lord of the Mai family was almost like a saint. But even if he wanted to kill her, he wouldn't do it in front of so many people!Jamie thought anxiously.No, he thought she was too insignificant to deserve a scandal over her.He'll wait, maybe a week or two later. He didn't say a word as she walked past him.He just pushed her to his side, and then took a step forward, his men followed suit, and the wall of soldiers surrounded her completely. Jamie stood on tiptoe, trying to see over the shoulders of the soldiers. Ariel spoke to the other lord in a stream, angry words flying between the two men.And when Jamie heard that he was actually defending her, she almost froze.Ariel was very displeased that the members of the Mai family used swords in front of Mrs. Jin, oh, in fact, you should say that he was furious. His temper was indeed astonishing, and Jamie couldn't help but feel glad that his anger wasn't directed at her. Then she heard the hateful word war again.The Mai family demanded war, and Ariel expressed emphatically that he couldn't agree more. God!What did she do? Ariel would never believe that what happened was not her fault. If she could control her temper, maybe the war could be avoided! It wasn't until Mai's family was escorted away that the wall of people around her retreated.Jamie decides the best course of action is to leave before her husband notices her.She told herself she wasn't running away, no, she just needed some time to sort out the mess, and with luck, it might only take a day or two. She turned around and walked up the stairs.But just when she thought she had escaped from Ariel's attention, he suddenly grabbed her upper arm, and the force with which he forced her to turn to face him was anything but gentle.Since both Gavin and Marco were present, she decided to smile at him, but Ariel frowned even more. can you explainhe asked, his voice languid like a yawning lion. No, Jamie replied.And I don't want to explain either. She could see that he didn't like her answer, because the muscles in his jaw were twitching again and gripping her even tighter. Jie Mi decides to meet his gaze and let him know that she is not afraid of his gaze.But she found that her decision could not stand the test. The child is sick.she told him. Then what? I take care of him. How could a child from the Mai family come here? I'm guessing too.She answered evasively. answer me. He didn't raise his voice, but she knew he was furious.She decided to soothe his anger, but avoided actually answering him.Aleigh, I'm just doing what I think is right, and even if I knew that kid's father was such a cranky old man, I'd still take care of him.Can you tell me to die? I just want you to answer my question.He reminded her. You will blame Mary. Mary is also involved in this?He raised his voice, and then he shook his head.I shouldn't be surprised. Mrs. Mai gave the child to Mary, and Mary handed the child to me. Ariel finally let go of her arm, and Jamie resisted the urge to rub the swelling on her arm.You don't resent Mary for meddling in this matter, Aleigh? Mary is Danny's problem, Ariel said coldly.God knows he should have locked her up properly when he got home and found out. Mary has a kind heart, Jamie said.I'm sure Danny doesn't blame her for helping a sick baby. You can go back to the house now.Ariel said, he didn't want to talk about his troublesome sister-in-law. Ariel's cold attitude stung Jie Mi.God knows, she should have gotten used to this man's unpredictable attitude.But it has been four days since he left, and God is my witness, she never missed him during these four days and four nights. I'll go in, Jamie turned and said.But I have one more question for you. Ariel sighed resignedly.what is the problem? Did your hunt go well? Great, I found the one I was looking for. So how many people did you kill?I want the correct number. Ariel froze.
