His Daughter is His Wife’s Formidable Nemesis
“Leah! Leah!”
Anna anxiously sat down next to Leah. She grabbed a tight hold of Leah’s hand. Leah weakly lied on her bed and tightly bit down on her lip. She looked as though she was in immense pain. Anna had no clue what happened. Leah looked ill when she turned in last night, but she didn’t look as though she was in such excruciating pain. Upon checking in on her, Anna found Leah squirming as if she was going to pass out.
Angelina sat down and checked on Leah. Angelina passed out due to lack of oxygen from being too aroused last night, but she still had her memory intact. There was no way a human would do that at night, and elves didn’t get aroused. The only possible culprit left was Leah, who happened to be a succubus. Angelina couldn’t determine if Leah assaulted her, but she also didn’t know if she should tell her daughter. On top of all that, she didn’t know what to do about Leah’s current condition. The worst part was that she couldn’t take Leah to a doctor, for Leah was a succubus. Not a human. Humans couldn’t treat Leah.
Anna worriedly exclaimed, “We need to quickly take Leah to a doctor. If we leave her in this state, something might happen to her!”
Angelina didn’t respond. She gently touched Leah’s trembling arm and finally replied in a soft voice, “Anna, we can’t go. Human doctors can’t help Leah. Leah is a succubus, not a human.”
“A-A-re we just going to just watch Leah suffer, then?! C-Can’t we do anything? Elves… the elves… the elves are skilled with medical practices, so they must have a way!”
Anna was genuinely worried. After what happened last time, she felt apologetic and guilty. She was also fond of the young girl. Her heart genuinely ached when she saw Leah in so much pain. If she could, she’d shoulder Leah’s pain for her in a heartbeat instead of letting Leah suffer so miserably.
“The three elves aren’t Lucilia. By the time they call Lucilia over, who knows what would’ve happened. Moreover, I don’t think elves have a wealth of information related demons…”
Angelina stood up. She pinched her chin, for she had no direction, either. She had a faint feeling that Leah’s condition was due to Lin Dongqing having left for too long. Angelina pondered, “Leah should be fine if he comes back. Where in the world is he right now, though?! What do we do if he decides to spend some time holidaying with Veirya after he finishes work? Do we need to go and find the two? Where in the world would we search, though? The city is massive. It would take a day to get there if nothing else. Nobody can say for sure what condition Leah will be in by then.”
“Papa… Papa… Leah… Leah wants Papa…”
Leah’s sobs reached Anna. She looked at Anna as her tears coursed down her face. Heartbroken, Anna bit down on her lip and revealed an expression that looked worse than crying. She shakily responded, “It’s okay, Leah. Your papa will be back soon. He’ll be back today, Leah. Don’t be scared.”
“Papa… Papa…” Leah began to cry.
Angelina froze for a moment before coming up with an idea. She went to the cupboard and went through it. There weren’t a lot of clothes inside. She found a familiar piece of clothing. It was clothing soldiers wore in winter. By the looks of it, the owner must’ve cherished the clothes, as the clothes were carefully folded and placed. Lin Dongqing hadn’t worn it since the weather began to warm up. Nonetheless, Angelina didn’t recall Anna washing it before.
Angelina took out the piece of clothing and handed it to Anna: “Cover Leah with this.”
Anna dallied because she didn’t know what function it served. Anyhow, due to Angelina’s absolutely serious demeanour, she covered Leah with the piece in the end. The shirt was the one Veirya, personally, adjusted for Lin Dongqing before Anna came into their lives.
Leah grabbed the shirt and held it up to her face. Leah instantly began to go a little crazy. She tightly gripped the shirt and tugged it, sniffed it, licked it and even ripped it with her teeth. She looked as though she wanted to eat it. Her behaviour startled Anna.
“Papa… Papa… Papa… Papa… Papa… Papa…”
Leah seemed to mumble instinctively. All she made out was a single simple word. She tightly gripped the shirt and bit it. The shirt was sodden in her saliva. Anna wasn’t sure if she should take the shirt from Leah or not, but, as soon as her hand touched it, Leah shrieked as if she lost her mind and starting swinging her arms and legs in a frenzy.
“What… what…” stammered Anna, backing off frantically and looked to Angelina.
Angelina gave her a small nod: “Leah is a succubus. She probably cares about her father; that’s his shirt. Her father’s scent should still linger on it. He’s not back yet, so I hope this can ease her misery little. By the way, has he worn anything else?”
“No… I’ve washed everything… Additionally… Sir Lin basically doesn’t have any smell on him… That shirt was worn long ago, so I would presume that his scent is no longer on it…”
Angelina softly sighed: “That’s true for us, but Leah is a succubus. She needs him. It’s not just because he protects her, but also because she sees him as her food now if I’m correct. He needs to always be with her. Leah will be awfully unstable without him. Who knows what she’ll do…? Unfortunately, he definitely won’t try to lay his hands on his daughter. He’s completely devoted to my daughter, and Veirya likes him, too. If they continue to progress, get married and have a child, I wonder what will happen to Leah…”
“W-Would Leah not let them get married…? Sir Lin and Lord Veirya are in love with each other. If they can’t get married due to Leah, it would be such a pity… Leah will grow up sooner or later.”
“What’s most frightening is when Leah grows up and comprehends what love is. If Leah considers her feelings to be romantic love, what will Veirya do? In the past, I never thought about what was most frightening in their relationship, but I finally know now. Leah, who brought them two together, is the most frightening individual in their relationship. If this is how Leah acts now, I don’t even dare to imagine what would happen in the future… How is he going to choose between Veirya and Leah…?”
