Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1637

Inside Northwatch Estate, Carissa held her mother's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. Even as Melanie scolded her daughter for being stubborn, she only smiled and cried without saying a word in reply.

Seeing her behavior, Melanie grew worried.

"Are you ill?" she asked, touching Carissa's forehead.

She turned to one of the servants and instructed, "Go quickly and fetch Sebastian."

Carissa's sisters-in-law gathered around, each one speaking with concern.

The servant soon brought Sebastian. When Carissa saw him, she couldn't help but cry again. She still remembered how deeply saddened she had been when the physician passed away, and how she had taken care of his funeral herself.

Now, she knew she wasn't in a dream. She had truly come back to life—back to a time before she married Barrett. Thinking about the many things she could change this time made her laugh and cry all at once.

Melanie and the other ladies thought Carissa might have lost her mind.

After examining her, Sebastian said, "Perhaps she hasn't accepted the fact that the Marquis of Northwatch and his sons have passed away, so her mind is confused for now. Since she doesn't want to marry, I think it's best to follow her wishes and not force her. This will prevent her condition from getting worse."

Melanie held Carissa close, tears rolling down her cheeks. The older woman knew her health was poor; she couldn't say how much longer she had to live. She only wished to find Carissa a good match soon, so she might rest assured knowing that her daughter would be taken care of.

But with Carissa's condition, it would be wrong to marry her off hastily. Besides, the girl herself kept saying she wouldn't marry, so Melanie agreed.

During the time Carissa spent "recovering", she lived as if in a sweet dream. She stayed by her mother's side every day, looked after her nephews and nieces, and talked with her sisters-in-law. Only then did she feel happiness.

Though her father and brothers were gone, they had died bravely for their kingdom. However, the fall of the Sinclair family was different. If Carissa had not gotten married and left home all those years ago, her family might not have been annihilated.
