The next day at 4 AM, llisa had changed clothes, put on a corset, and had her eyebrows thicker and darker. After that, she looked at herself through the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
At half past five, everyone was gathered in the back kitchen.
Everyone was busy doing their job, llisa was a newcor and was assigned directly to the job of washing vegetables.
The Adlers had many rules, vegetables and fruit had to be washed three tis.
llisa stood in front of her workplace quickly, picked up three onions, and after washing the first ti, her stomach was overwheld.
She held it for a long ti, but her face changed a lot in the next second, so she covered her mouth and rushed out of the kitchen.
The head chef was dumbfounded.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The head chef is making a delicious breakfast. He was so shocked by the sound of the door slamming by llisa that the cheese fell to the floor.
"Quick, assistant chef, did you see that person just now? What happened? This is not a place where you can go wild!"
The assistant chef nodded, wiped his hands on his apron, and chased the newcor along the corridor outside the door.
llisa rushed outside due to the intense morning sickness, and unfortunately, the closest bathroom to the back kitchen was downstairs.
She tried her best to hold it in, but there was no more ti. She ran out of the castle, across the path, and rushed to a tree.
Doctor Verdy taught her traditional dicine, and she hasn't found the opportunity to try it yet.
Unexpectedly, her symptoms of morning sickness occurred again the next day.
It was still very early in the morning, less than five o'clock, and the Adlers still hadn't woken up.
llisa held the tree trunk with one hand, and vomited for a long ti, all full of sour water.
She was squatting on the ground, and she couldn't breathe properly.
Around the castle, there were many old trees with huge branches and leaves. Just as she was about to wake up, two maids walked past with trays chatting.
"What should we do, our young master ca back with a fever last night, and if this continues, I'm afraid he can't last a few days!"
"We don't know what disease he has. In just a few days, he beca so thin!" These two maids were still young, and they couldn't hide the hottest news in their hearts.
One of them looked around worriedly and said, "I heard that the Patriarch had planned to abandon him."
"So if the young master is abandoned, the position of heir falls to the second young master?"
"It's hard to say!" The other party almost shouted. "The young master is the favorite child in the family, but if his illness is really incurable, this possibility is wide open."
Leonard is dying?!
This news makes llisa confused!
How could that be?!
His healthy and well-built appearance is still etched in her mory, even then only a few months have passed. How could that be?!
llisa's eyes were dull for a mont, and when she ca back to her senses, she saw that the two maids had left.
She stood up, no ti to deal with the discomfort of her morning sickness, and planned to chase after Leonard.
But her shoulder was suddenly caught. "Hey Billie, did you… run under the tree to pee?"
llisa. "..."
She was forced to stop her movents, turning back to look at the assistant chef. She lowered her gaze to the puddle below, shook her head and explained. "No, I'm allergic to onions and I would throw up when I slled it."
The corner of the assistant chef's mouth moved. "Seriously? Then why didn't you tell earlier? I can get soone else to handle the onions! Although we are all servants, we are all human. If you're having trouble, feel free to talk about it!"
"Thank you, sir." llisa nodded gratefully, turned and glanced in the direction the maid had gone. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she pretended to say curiously. "Sir, I heard about sothing. Is Young master Adler… dying?"
The assistant chef's face suddenly changed and he patted her shoulder hard. "Listen boy, don't ever talk nonsense like that! And don't ask any more questions about this sort of thing, because if any mber of the Adler family heard it, you're done with!"
lissa saw him looking wary, her heart sinking suddenly.
It seed that the news was real!
She suppressed the growing panic in her eyes, and as she walked to the kitchen side by side with the assistant chef, she hesitantly said, "So the rumors are true!"
The assistant chef looked around and saw that there was no one else, and imdiately pulled her aside. He warned, "Billie, I appreciate your curiosity so I'll tell you once. You are a newcor, and you must rember the Adler family rules. Let's not talk about our master. Whether it's a good or bad rumor, it has nothing to do with us. We'd better do our own thing, you know?"
lissa looked at him implicitly and she tucked the corners of her mouth. "Okay, I got it!"
This assistant chef has worked for almost forty years. Seeing llisa's intelligent response, he smiled with satisfaction. "Actually, I've also heard of so rumors about the young master's current health. But it's not too serious, so you too, don't listen to people who don't know the situation around here."
"When I first ca, I was also very curious about who my master was, just like you. Then, I waited for the opportunity and finally I got the chance to et him! So if you want to et our master, just be patient."
lissa smiled happily. "Thanks for the advice sir!"
"You're welco!"
The assistant chef and llisa then walked back into the kitchen.
In the back kitchen, llisa continues to devote herself to work.
Starting today, she tried her best to avoid ingredients with strong odors that could easily cause morning sickness.
...
Three days later, at half past two in the afternoon.
llisa sat bored on the steps outside the back kitchen door, staring at the garden path before her with frost between her eyebrows.
She had been here for three days, and she had no chance to go anywhere except the back kitchen and the maid's room.
Not to ntion that it was very difficult to find Leonard's room.
This Adler family castle covered a large area, and so of the buildings were far apart from each other.
Even the security guards on patrol had to ride motorbikes, and each building had a designated team of maids. Without a proper reason, it was impossible to approach at will.
llisa furrowed her brows with a serious face.
She didn't plan on wasting much ti here, but the current situation left her helpless.
"Head chef, is the head chef here?"
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of the back kitchen complex.
A maid ran over in a hurry while screaming loudly in her mouth.
llisa turned her head and stood up, and answered in a low voice, "There is no one in the back kitchen, everyone is currently resting. What is it?"
"Then… Can you help warm up a bowl of milk? The sooner, the better!"
A bowl of milk?!
Who wants to drink that this afternoon?!
lissa was suspicious and stood casually in her place, but the maid jumped up and urged. "Hurry up, young master is still waiting!"
Young master?!
Leonard!
llisa's eyes flashed a sharp light. "The milk in the back kitchen is only cold. If you are in a hurry, go back and serve the cold one first to the young master. I'll send a warm one after heating it."
The maid's face flickered upon hearing this. "This..."
llisa noticed her hesitation, blinked her eyes, and walked in front of her, "You don't worry, it takes ti to warm up the milk.. So go back first, our master's body is more important. Once the milk is warm, I will ask the security guard to take there imdiately, how about that?"
