Chapter 164: Good or bad news?
The storm in the mountains was not showing any sign of stopping any time soon. Being late to the winter prayers was the least of worries to the group from Cedric’s household.
Princess Abrielle had lost consciousness with no clue of what was wrong with her and the physician was taking forever. Zoltana was wracking her brains trying to remember if she had sensed anything wrong with the princess recently.
There was nothing in particular that came to her mind. Abrielle always had this strange energy around her Zoltana linked to being related to Cedric. She never understood why.
She felt Abrielle’s condition was related to Cedric, but she didn’t want to jump to conclusions yet. It was better to wait for the doctor.
The door finally opened its creaking sound drawing everyone’s attention. An elderly man with a short beard stepped out, and under normal conditions, Cedric would not have let him attend to Abrielle, but the situation did not let him be picky.
The physician walked up to the prince with a stoic expression, but from his calm eyes, Cedric knew something was wrong. He released a sharp sigh before his lips parted to speak.
"The princess’s condition is now stable, but I advise her to keep away from any situation that will cause her stress, anxiety or shock. Those were the factors that catalysed her condition.

"What is the true cause? This is the first time I have heard those factors causing someone severe abdominal pain to the point of loss of consciousness." Cedric might not be a physician, but he is a prince who was also a scholar and had an idea about several things that might even be irrelevant to him.
The physician cleared his throat, feeling nervous standing in front of Cedric. "Well, that is the bad news. Unfortunately, we were unable to save the baby. The stressful conditions led to a miscarriage that caused the princess to..." The physician felt his words go back to his throat sensing the atmosphere of the room.
