Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 628

Leona's maids, Hazel and Kate, were also crying in sorrow at Dorothy's words.

When Hazel saw Carissa preparing to head outside, she hurriedly spoke up, "Your Grace, Mr. Samuel was trying

to convince Lady Leona to speak on his behalf to the king. He hoped to restore his position and title. Lady Leona

refused, saying he didn't deserve it. In a fit of rage, he pushed her-it's not Lady Leona's fault! Madam Dorothy's

words are deeply hurtful to Lady Leona."

Carissa was furious. She pushed aside the curtain and stepped out, her cold gaze landing squarely on Dorothy's

face.

The older woman was momentarily taken aback by the sharpness of Carissa's eyes, but she quickly straightened

up, reminding herself of her seniority and status. Even as a princess consort, Carissa had no right to meddle in

the affairs of the Earl of Gracehold's family. "What do you intend to do, Your Grace?" Dorothy asked in a

defensive tone.

Carissa fixed her with an icy stare. "If | hear one more word from your mouth that insults the duchess, | will have

you arrested for disrespecting the royal family."

"How dare you-"

With a swift kick, Carissa sent a chair flying. It crashed against the door, splintering into pieces on the floor. The

sound of the break echoed ominously alongside her cold voice. "Just watch me. If anything happens to Leona,

your precious grandson will follow her into the grave."

Her words silenced everyone in the room. A chill ran down Dorothy's spine, and she found herself unable to scold

Carissa for interfering with the affairs of her family.

Abigail sighed. "Right now, we need to focus on Leona. Your Grace, please calm down."

Kate had finished brewing the labor-inducing medicine and brought it over. Carissa took it from her, turned

sharply, and reentered the delivery room.

Violet followed her inside and glanced at everyone present before addressing Abigail. "Your daughter-in-law is

inside giving birth. Aren't you going to support her as her mother-in-law?"

Abigail had initially hoped to keep Dorothy calm to prevent her from saying something that would further

provoke Carissa. But upon hearing Violet's words, Abigail instructed her sisters-in-law to "look after" Dorothy

before following Violet into the room. Though Abigail had indulged her son, she had genuinely cared for Leona.

Seeing Leona in such agony brought tears to her eyes.

"I'll help feed her," Abigail said, taking the medicine from Kate.

She sat beside Leona and began to spoon the medicine into her mouth, tears dripping down onto her wrist.

"Leona, listen to me, okay? Don't think about anything else. Just focus on bringing this child into the world."

Leona gritted her teeth, and forced herself to drink the bitter concoction.

After finishing, the pain intensified. She cast a pleading glance at Carissa, her tears soaking the pillow beneath

her. "Cari, help me."

Carissa felt a sharp pang in her heart as she grasped Leona's hand.

"How is she doing?" she asked Ivy urgently.

Ivy peeked beneath the quilt, and quickly removed all the needles. Then, she sighed and said, "Give her an
