Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity woke up and Gabriel was no longer there. She listened carefully but there was no sound from the washroom either.
Could it be that he had already finished washing up and was waiting for her in the dining room downstairs?
She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She pulled open the curtains and saw that it was already bright outside. She took her phone from the bedside table and saw that it was already ten in the morning.
It was already so late? Why didn’t he wake her?
She had set an alarm on her phone. Why didn’t it ring?
Then, she saw that it had been turned off.
She was already two hours late, so it was useless to rush over. She took off her pajamas and changed into her ho clothes. After washing up, she went downstairs.
“Young Madam, did you sleep well last night?” Mrs. Winstead ca out of the kitchen when she heard footsteps on the stairs.
“It’s alright.” She walked over and sat down on the sofa. “Why didn’t anyone wake today?”
“Young Master said that you’re injured and asked you to rest at ho.” Mrs. Winstead had cut so fresh fruits and placed them on the coffee table. “Young Madam, have so fruits first. Lunch will be ready soon.”
!!..
“You go ahead with your work. Don’t worry about .” Serenity turned on the television and switched to a variety show. She ate so fruits to fill her stomach as she watched the television.
When she woke up earlier, she felt dizzy. Now, it was getting worse. She wanted to go back to her room and lie down for a while. As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy again. Fortunately, she grabbed the armrest of the sofa in ti.
She shook her head and touched her forehead with one hand. It was a little hot. After a mont, she went upstairs to her room and lifted the blanket to lie down.
Mrs. Winstead finished cooking and ca out of the kitchen but Serenity was no longer in the living room though the television was still on. She was about to go upstairs to call Serenity for dinner when the landline rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone.
Gabriel stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in his office. It had rained the entire night so the skyscraper outside looked like it had been renewed. His deep and warm voice traveled into Mrs. Winstead’s ears through the phone. “Is she awake?”
“She’s already up, but she’s back in her room now,” said Mrs. Winstead.
“Is she sick?” asked he faintly.
She was fine when he left in the morning. He was afraid that she would have a fever last night, so he did not sleep for almost the whole night, constantly checking up on her.
It was only when he saw that she was fine this morning that he heaved a sigh of relief. But after a few hours of work, he felt worried again so he called Mrs. Winstead.
“I don’t think so?” But Mrs. Winstead wasn’t sure. She had been busy just now and hadn’t noticed anything.
“Go take a look,” said Gabriel with a frown when he heard her reply.
Mrs. Winstead went up to the second floor and stood outside the door. She knocked lightly on the door before she heard Serenity say, “Co in.”
Mrs. Winstead pushed the door open and entered. Seeing that she was lying down again, Mrs. Winstead asked with concern, “Young Madam, are you feeling unwell?”
Serenity’s nose was a little stuffy so she took a deep breath before saying, “I’ll be fine after sleeping for a while.”
Mrs. Winstead could tell from Serenity’s voice that the latter’s nose was stuffed. Upon touching Serenity’s forehead, Mrs. Winstead could tell that the temperature on the skin was higher than ordinary people’s. “Young Madam, you have a fever.”
Serenity felt her eyelids beco heavy and she let out a soft hum.
Mrs. Winstead left the room and went to the living room downstairs to call the family doctor and then Gabriel.
Gabriel hung up the phone and picked up the car keys on the table. He walked to the cloakroom and put on his coat before walking out of the office quickly.
Caleb stood outside the door and was about to knock when the office door suddenly opened. When he saw the man who ca out, he said, “President Jones, the eting is ready. Everyone is here. We’re just waiting for you..”
