Count Lockwood has been suffering from a rare disease that is caused by exposure to Lavaborne, a kind of moth-like creature that releases a scent that can be fatal for many.
Although he survived, he had been suffering from the illness for the past several months.
His skin has turned red because of inflammation, and his body barely works. He could barely eat anything and needed support to do the basics of things.
During his tough times, the ones who stood beside him were his wife and a few servants. While it was the duty of the servants to help him, Melissa wasn't bound to do those trivial things for him.
From feeding him food to helping him bathe, she has done it all without a complaint for the past ten months.
Although the Count was sick, he realized who stood beside him all this time.
And thanks to her care along with the medic's support, Count Adam Lockwood could finally move around and talk, albeit not regularly.
