Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1625

This was the first real trial in Thomas and Rosalind's marriage.

The sweet days were suddenly mixed with bitter medicine.

Such a matter required Thomas to make a decision. When he received the news, he hurried home without delay. He didn't even stop to greet his mother and went straight to Rosalind's room.

He came back cold from the snow, with flakes resting on his shoulders. After shivering for a moment outside, he warmed his hands by the fire before daring to hold her.

His voice broke as he said, "Why didn't you tell me you were ill? You must never do that again. If you feel unwell, you must tell me at once."

With his return, Rosalind felt steadier and more at ease.

But when Thomas saw how thin she had grown, tears filled his eyes. "I've let you suffer. It's my fault. I have not taken good care of you."

As she laid her head against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat, the worries and sadness of recent days slowly began to fade.

"I'm the one who has troubled you. You are so busy, yet I made you come home," she said.

"No matter how busy I am, someone else can take my place in the army. But no one can take my place by your side." Thomas gently stroked her back. "I understand everything now. Let me speak with the physician again, and then we will decide. Is that alright?"

She nodded. "I'll follow your lead."

They held each other for a while before reluctantly letting go.

Looking at her pale, thin face, Thomas felt nothing but deep sorrow. He didn't rush to see Sebastian right away but stayed with her a while longer before heading to Arcane Sanctum. There, Sebastian repeated what he had said before.

In short, falling ill had left Rosalind very weak. Terminating the pregnancy now would harm her health and might make it hard to conceive again. If they kept the child, she would need attentive care, but the baby might not survive. If the pregnancy was terminated later, that could harm her too. As for whether the child would have defects, Sebastian said it was possible but not very likely.
