76: Chapter 76 The Lazy Bug 76: Chapter 76 The Lazy Bug Evan Sumrs frowned and knocked on the door with more force.
Yet, there was still no sound from inside.
He pressed his ear against the door and listened, becoming instantly frantic.
Grace Sumrs has a congenital heart disease, could it be an attack?
Evan Sumrs, in his urgency, kicked the door open, only to see Grace Sumrs lying on the bed, her face deathly pale.
Her entire being was exuding a sense of feeble sickness.
“Grace!”
Evan Sumrs rushed to the bedside, grasping Grace’s icy wrist, his eyes full of concern and panic.
“Grace, what’s wrong with you?
Are you having an attack?
Don’t scare like this!”
Grace opened her eyes weakly, “Big bro, I feel unwell, my head hurts so much, it’s unbearable…”
Evan was like an ant on a hot pan, at a loss as to what to do.
“Wait here, I’ll call the doctor right now.”
Evan hastily pulled out his cellphone from his pocket, trembling slightly with anxiety.
His mind was blank, his only thought was to call the doctor imdiately.
Thus, he missed the fleeting panic in the depths of Grace’s eyes.
Soon after, the family doctor arrived quickly and conducted a full examination on Grace.
By the ti he was done, two hours had passed.
Evan, who was waiting outside, saw the doctor erge and quickly approached him, asking, “Doctor, how’s my sister?
Was it a heart attack?”
The doctor was silent for a long while before slowly shaking his head, “The examination shows that Miss Sumrs is all normal, no unexpected issues.
It might be due to recent stress which caused so weakness in her body.
It’ll be fine with more rest and nutrition.”
Upon hearing this, Evan let out a huge sigh of relief and hurried past the doctor into the room.
“Grace, thank goodness you’re fine.
Mom and Dad are not ho right now, if anything happened to you, they would never forgive !”
Mr.
Sumrs had been on a business trip for the last two days, and Mrs.
Sumrs went shopping with so wealthy ladies early in the morning.
So, only Evan and Grace were at ho.
Now that Grace was fine, the tension Evan had been carrying suddenly dissipated.
Outside the room, the doctor shook his head, keeping all his doubts to himself.
Miss Sumrs was clearly fine.
Other than a little excess heat in her liver recently, she couldn’t be healthier.
The Sumrs family took very good care of Grace, so even though she had a congenital heart condition, it didn’t endanger her life.
But today, Grace looked pale as if she might stop breathing at any second.
Yet, all tests results were normal.
What was going on?
With these questions, the doctor left the Sumrs house.
After the doctor had gone, Grace looked at Evan apologetically.
“Sorry, big bro, I didn’t expect to have another attack.
Right, weren’t we supposed to go to the Shaw family?”
Saying so, Grace hurriedly got up from the bed, intending to get up.
Evan, quick-wittedly, stopped her and scolded in a low voice, “You are in this condition, and you still want to go to the Shaw family?
You should take care of your health first; I’ll figure sothing out about this.”
“Thank you, big bro, you are always so good to .” A faint smile spread across Grace’s pale, paper-like face.
Evan’s heart softened, and he gently ruffled her hair, “Silly girl.
You are my only sister…”
He stopped mid-sentence, his complexion changing suddenly.
Over the nineteen years since Serena Sumrs had gone missing, Evan had repeated that phrase countless tis.
Today, it had slipped out unconsciously.
But halfway through, he realized that he might not only have one sister.
Evan awkwardly withdrew his hand, whispering, “You rest well, I’ll go see Serena at the Shaw Mansion.”
With that, he left without looking back.
After Evan left, Grace sat up from the bed.
A self-satisfied smile crept onto her face that was previously as pale as death.
Going to the Shaw Mansion to ask for Serena?
In your dreams!
What right does that little slut have?
Serena Sumrs thinks she can do whatever she wants because she has the backing of the Shaw Family, even thinking about calling the police to arrest her fan?
Ha…
I’m sure it won’t be long before the Shaw Family regrets marrying such a malicious, disgraceful bride!
Thinking this, a hint of pleasure and resentnt flashed across Grace Sumrs’ eyes.
The Shaw Family.
It was rare that Serena didn’t have to go to the lab on weekends, so she indulged in sleeping in and refused to get up no matter who called her.
Lucas Shaw looked at the girl tossing and turning in bed, refusing to open her eyes, and a pampering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Little lazybug.”
“Mmm.”
Serena humd, turned over, and went back to sleep facing away from Lucas.
By the ti she woke up again, it was already eleven-thirty in the afternoon.
Lucas had already gone to the company.
Serena got up slowly from the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning.
Sister Green knocked on the door and ca in, seeing that Serena had awoken, she quickly said: “Madam, there’s soone downstairs looking for you, says he’s your brother.”
“Brother?” Serena looked at Sister Green with confusion.
Could it be Big Senior Brother?
Serena suddenly felt nervous for no reason.
Sister Green frowned, thought for a mont, and hesitantly said: “Seems like his last na is Sumrs.”
The Sumrs Family?
Serena’s brows slightly raised, a hint of realization flashing through her eyes.
“Did only one person co?” Serena asked.
“Yes, just one.”
Serena quickly freshened up, changed into plain and neat clothes, and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Evan Sumrs was sowhat uneasy.
The Shaw Mansion looked many tis larger than the Sumrs house.
Every single decorative item here was exceedingly valuable.
Evan realized for the first ti the gap between a top-tier wealthy family and an ordinary wealthy family.
After a while, Evan heard footsteps coming from behind.
Turning his head, he saw Serena descending slowly from the staircase.
He had not had a chance to take a good look at her before; unexpectedly, Serena was actually so beautiful.
When she had first been brought back to the Sumrs Family, Serena was wearing a simple white dress.
Her clear eyes were lively, curiously taking in everything around her.
It was as if she was seeing many things for the first ti, every ti revealing a surprised yet curious expression.
Thus, many people concluded that Serena was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Of course, this included Evan.
However, looking at her now, Serena’s deanor seed sowhat different from before.
Wearing the sa simple and unadorned dress actually brought out her figure exquisitely.
She had an ethereal quality that seed unworldly, making one only dare to watch from afar, not daring to approach.
Serena ca to the living room and tilted her head to examine the man in front of her.
Even though they had just t a few days ago, Serena oddly felt that Evan carried a sense of desolation about him now.
It seems that what she said the other day had dealt a considerable blow to him.
Serena’s lips curved slightly as she sat down on the sofa opposite Evan.
“Are you here to find ?” She smiled, looking at Evan.
“I just wanted to ask you…”
“Grace didn’t co?” Serena tilted her head, her clear, contrasting eyes staring straight at Evan.
Evan guiltily shifted his gaze away, explaining in a low voice, “Grace was supposed to co too, but she suddenly felt unwell, so I ca by myself.”
“Oh, you’ve co because of Grace’s fan incident, haven’t you?” Serena’s eyes lit up with an epiphanic expression, her lucid and distinct gaze fixed on Evan.
