I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 24

Chapter 24

“Emma, stop the carriage!”

After Charlotte’s cry, Emma opened the window connected to the driver and stopped the carriage in a hurry.

Charlotte grabbed Theo’s hand and patted him tightly.

However, no matter how much Charlotte patted his back, Theo’s condition did not improve, it only got worse.

“What’s going on ?”

Carcel opened the carriage door and asked before the slow carriage came to a complete stop.

“I think Theo swallowed the cookies wrong.”

Carcel hurried outside with Theo in his arms.

Charlotte followed him out of the carriage.

The knights gathered around them,and Charlotte felt bad.

She grabbed his hands tightly and watched Carcel hit Theo on the back.

However, Theo was still struggling and showed no sign of spitting out the biscuit that was blocking his airway.

The red face started turning blue.

‘This can’t be happening.’

There does not appear to be another way to treat airway obstruction.

Charlotte approached Carcel, who was struggling with shaking feet.

“Please, let Theo stand.”

“What ?”

Carcel seemed surprised by Charlotte’s sudden request but put Theo up.

“Please step away for a moment.”

Charlotte pushed him aside and stood behind Theo.

She wrapped her arms around Theo’s stomach.

Heimlich maneuver(first aid)

Since Theo was still young, she thought that she might damage his internal organs if she did it wrong, but she couldn’t wait any longer.

Internal injuries can be treated with magic, but if he dies of suffocation they can’t help him anymore.

‘Please ….’

She remembered the way she had seen it in Korea, sweeping Theo’s belly from the bottom up with her hands.

She hadn’t done it before and was worried that she couldn’t do it right, but it seemed like she had no choice but to do her best relying on her memory for the time being.

Once .

Theo was still choking.

Twice .

Still unsuccessful .

Cold sweat was running down her forehead to the corner of her nose, whether it was from stress or from exertion.

At that moment, she pressed Theo with all her might.

“Cough !”

Theo coughed and extruded something, a saliva-soaked cookie fell to the dirt floor.

Theo breathed and panted at once, and at this moment Carcel grabbed him.

Carcel hugged Theo and gently patted his back.

Charlotte saw this scene, but her feet became weak, and she fell to the ground.

After confirming that Theo was breathing normally, she burst into tears like a child.

***

Theo was crying and Charlotte was crying while she took him in her arms.

Similarly, after crying, Charlotte who had barely calmed down patted Theo on the back and spoke somewhat harshly.

“Theo, didn’t Sister tell you to eat slowly? I told you not to eat that big!”

“Yes .”

Theo looked at Charlotte and lowered his head, grimly.

Instead of hating being reprimanded, he seemed frightened because Charlotte, who had always been so nice to him, was scolding him

Charlotte can’t be nice to Theo.

She knew now that she couldn’t get angry at a three-year-old, but that was because her heart was pounding every time she thought about it.

Only after she saw tears form in Theo’s eyes pouting did the corners of her mouth lift and smiled.

Children are quick-witted.

Knowing that she smiled involuntarily, Theo did not think to reveal his facial expression.

When she usually smiles at him, he smiles too.

Instead of vaguely scolding Theo, she decided to tell him her feelings openly.

“Sister was so worried about you.”

“Oh really ?”

“When Theo gets sick,Sister gets upset so from now on you have to chew slowly, okay?”

Theo rolled his eyes, examined Charlotte’s eyes, and nodded.

“Ok .”

Charlotte kissed him on the cheek, which was still soaked with tears.

Theo closed his eyes and smiled friendly, he was feeling Charlotte’s worry.

He loved it when Charlotte smiled like that.

Theo was cute and naughty at the same time, so Charlotte pulled the tip of his nose.

“Aigo!”

Theo laughed and then smiled.

“Miss Lannia.”

Charlotte, who was about to tickle Theo, looked at the shadow that came suddenly above her head.

She saw Carcel looking at her with a serious expression on his face.

Carcel bowed deeply .

Even everyone in the Heinst family including the knights in the back bowed in front of her.

“Thank you again for saving Theo.”

The thanks ended, but despite that he did not raise his back.

She bit her lips.

‘He must have been very surprised.’

This is the third time already.

He bowed deeply even more than the flower pot incident.

He didn’t say anything after saying thanks after that.

But from Charlotte’s point of view, he seemed speechless.

He was bowing his head with trembling shoulders.

“I’m glad Theo is safe.”

Charlotte spoke first instead.

“Right Theo?”

“Yes !”

“Anyway, you answer well.”

Charlotte who was wiping away the tears that remained around Theo’s eyes, felt a gaze and turned her head.

Carcel was staring, he couldn’t take his eyes off Theo who was fine.

“You must have been very worried.”

Charlotte,was also afraid she might lose him, but Carcel was terrified.

And she added cautiously to ease his fears.

“Theo is fine now.”

However, Carcel showed no reaction, Charlotte looked at Carcel’s hard expression and whispered to Theo in a soft voice.

Theo, who laughed at her tickling him, jumped up and ran to Carcel.

“Brother -ah!”

Carcel quickly bent down and hugged Theo, who lunged into his arms.

The child wrapped his arms around his neck and smiled brightly.

“Theo is fine!”

‘Brother’s worried about Theo, so tell him you’re fine and come back.’

Theo listened to Charlotte’s words perfectly well.

Carcel stared at Theo who was smiling and bent his eyes like a crescent moon.

Slightly wrinkled eyebrows with a stiff face and chin made him look like he was holding back his tears.

“Brother?”

Carcel said nothing and Theo smiled in bewilderment.

Then Carcel raised the corners of his lips a little.

“Ok .”

He gently kissed Theo’s forehead and then approached the wagon carrying Theo.

“If we delay any longer, we will not be able to reach the next city tonight. Let’s go on.”

Carcel, who was carrying Theo, called Charlotte.

The knights escorted her until she got into the carriage.

Perhaps due to the problem he had with the biscuits, Theo got into the cart and did not turn to the bag of biscuits.

The boy’s face was getting funny, then he burst out laughing at once and then looked out the window.

‘I have to keep a close eye on him.’

It is said that you cannot take your eyes off a child when you are raising one.

Even though she was watching him closely this time, she didn’t know that an incident like that was going to happen.

If only she had taken a nap for a while…

If she didn’t know first aid….

‘That’s terrible .’

Charlotte imagined the worst and then hugged Theo, who was looking at her worriedly.

“Theo, you have to chew well from now on, do you understand?”

“Yes !”

After Theo’s confident answer, he didn’t even ask for the biscuit again.

***

For the two days on the way, Charlotte could not let her heart rest.

‘It’s weird .’

The more I thought about it, the weirder it got with Theo.

After meeting Viscount Routine, Theo developed a high fever and protested wanting to live at Lannia’s house, then had an epileptic fit.

But what happened next was not entirely clear.

The flower pot that fell on Theo, and the carriage that seemed to wait for Theo to eat the biscuits.

If we look at the matter and each incident separately, it could be called coincidence, but when they overlap several times, it cannot be called so.

Twice, no, there was probably a previous mana explosion four times in total.

Fearing that his mana would explode too much, I asked Chase, and he said that in the capital it wasn’t like that.

After escaping the fate of the original story, Theo nearly died four times.

As if someone was trying to kill him.

After thinking this way, Charlotte covered her mouth with her right hand.

‘Is it because the child who should have been dead alive now?’

When I was in Korea, I read many novels with the same content.

A scene in which a doomed villain seeks out to alter her fate, but the original novel continues to flow with the same events.

If that was the case, Theo’life might be in danger.

‘Once we reach the capital, we should go to the temple.’
