I was possessed and it turned out to be a villainous sub dog?! — 6.7

“For putting you through this. For being born into that damn Arteon family or something.”

“…”

“But I will make sure that this never happens again”

“Huh…”

“I’ll do something. I’ll do anything, so you…”

“huh”

“Just don’t think about anything, eat lots of delicious food, get plenty of sleep, and have fun. Just be yourself.”

“…okay”

As I answered, I got the feeling that I was just saving that he only eats, sleeps, and plays and doesn’t think I was going to give him a good slap on the back of his head, but I felt sorry for his hunched shoulders, so I decided to just let it slide this time. Instead, I tossed his nice hair in the air and said something playfully.

“Don’t be sorry. It’s not Chase’s fault, you didn’t meet good relatives.”

“…huh”

“It’s not your fault you didn’t have good parents”

Chase said that to me one day.

So, the things that Vice President Kaisa, or Executive Director Arteon, or the Chairman did were not our fault. I wish we could stop apologizing to each other today. There were some people who did wrong. From now on, I wanted to pay them back for what they had done so far.

…It’s not me, it’s Chase who’s busy. Chase said that puppies just need to eat well, sleep well, and play well!

Since I got sick, I’ve been just lying around the house, leaving all my work and investment to Chase. But after being officially told to stay still through this incident, I’ve had to lie still even more intensely.

However, no matter how much I like to play and eat and enjoy lying around, it was not as easy as I thought to lie still in bed all day. As a result, after a few days of being hospitalized, I couldn’t overcome the stuffiness and wanted to jump out of bed.

In fact, even if there was a risk of premature birth, it would have been okay to at least move, but I literally just lay there in the attention position without being able to move a single finger.

So it was all Chase’s fault that things got to this point.

“I can wash my face myself…”

“How do you know that, puppy?”

“No matter how much you told me not to move, did you really mean not to even blink?”

“So you’re a doctor? Close your eyes. There’s an eyelash here.”

The problem was that I had heard that if I were to give birth prematurely, not only would it be dangerous for me, but it could also be dangerous for Yeontan. Chase, who had been cautious when he was first admitted to the hospital, completely changed after that, and he would act so strangely that he wouldn’t even let me wash in the morning and would act like a fuss, saying that he would wipe his face with a warm towel himself.

He must have had a lot of work to do, but it seemed like he was staying up all night in a corner of the hospital room to take care of it while I was sleeping. During the daytime that he secured that way, Chase would stick close to me and really nag me.

“Is there anything you want to eat? Hospital food doesn’t suit my taste. I’ll go home and make some.”

“Um, not much right now.”

“Ha… What should I do when it hurts so much? There’s no way around it.”

“…”

Isn’t it because it hasn’t even been an hour since I had a sumptuous breakfast? I’m still so full that I’m barely able to catch my breath, but the black panther is suddenly treating me like I’m sick because I said I have no appetite. I got a little sullen and started complaining.

“I’m not a pig.”

“Piglet…”

“What did you say?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Moreover, I heard it clearly, but I kept ignoring it. That handsome man who was smiling with his eyes closed… No, I wanted to slap that mean face of his. Whose fault is it that I became a pig? When he would cook mouth-watering dishes one after another just by smiling!

“I feel like I’m being farmed because I just sit there and eat. It’s so frustrating”

“I told you not to move as much as possible, so you did that.”

“Does that mean Chase has to feed me until I eat?”

“Even spooning is bad for your health.”

Now they say that spoon-feeding is harmful. This is the first time in my life that I’ve heard that.

This time, let’s really look at Chase with amazement. Chase, who seemed a little embarrassed, mumbled and added. ‘Let’s look at Chase with amazement.’

“…If you really can’t stand it, should we go for a walk?”

“Really? Can I go for a walk?”

“It’s gotten a lot better now, so that’s okay. I got permission from Jeffrey.”

“What, you should have told me earlier!”

“Oh, what! Am I locking you up right now? Isn’t this a crime?”

But as I was about to jump up excitedly, I was quickly stopped by Chase who came running towards me. Then he frowned and clicked his tongue, saying that it was bad for my health to move violently, so can you change your words like that in a second? Who the hell said I could go for a walk?

“Who is imprisoning whom… Puppy, can’t you speak nicely?”

“Isn’t that a crime?”

“Using honorifics to criminals doesn’t make them look good.”

“Yes, yes…”

I couldn’t say anything. Because of Chase, who wouldn’t say a word, I just fell back to the bed. My ears, which had been sticking out excitedly at the idea of going for a walk, were now folded in half and hanging down. Meanwhile, the black panther was holding my ears and stretching them out diligently.

“Why are your ears folded? I can’t see the pink”

“That’s not it. Giving and taking is bad, really bad.”

“What did I give you or take away? Who said you didn’t go for a walk?”

“Then are you going?”

“I’m going. I’ll get ready, so just wait a moment.”

huh?

I was going for a walk, but I didn’t know that I needed to make any grand preparations. Since I was going to go for a walk on the hospital trail anyway. I didn’t need to change out of my hospital gown, so I could just put on a jacket. No, it was so hot that I didn’t even need a jacket, so I could just go out…

But that was an underestimation of Chase.

“What is this… Why did you bring a wheelchair? You want me to ride in this?”

“So you were going to walk? Come here. I’ll give you a ride.”

“I have legs too!”

I struggled and cried out, but Chase ignored me and picked me up. Suddenly, I was carried to the princess’s arms and sat down gently in the wheelchair. I was speechless. Am I some kind of mermaid princess who lost her legs?

“It’s okay to take a walk!”

“Yes. It’s okay to go for a walk in a wheelchair.”

“Oh. I got completely fooled. What is this…”

I had heard that I had to stay in bed the whole time, but it seemed strange that I could go for a walk instead of anything else. As expected, the black panther had cheated. As I rode the wheelchair that Chase pushed toward the walking path. I kept my mouth shut with my cheeks puffed out, thinking that it was a good thing.

Still, after a few days of being outside, I felt much better. When I first met Chase, it was the middle of a cold season, but now spring was well past and we were heading towards midsummer. If the baby was born as scheduled, the heat would ease up a bit. I hope I can hold out until then. “It’s been stuffy.”

huh?

I was lost in thought, gently stroking my protruding belly, when suddenly a voice came from above my head. I looked up in surprise and saw Chase with an embarrassed expression. Even the tips of his ears were red, and he looked embarrassed. What did I just hear? Did the black panther eat something wrong?

“…I know it must be hard, but thank you for enduring it”

“What did you say…?”

Chase keeps saying things that are not typical of Chase, and I am the one who is losing my mind. A few days ago he said sorry, and now he is even saving thank you. No, is someone possessed by a black panther?

“Chase, are you okay? Are you sick? Do you have a fever? Are you terminally ill? That’s not right. How can I raise a child by myself?”

“…”
But… Judging by the pitiful expression that quickly appeared in Chase’s black eyes, it seemed that his soul had not changed. Then why did he surprise people by doing something he had never done before?
