The next day, at four in the morning, llisa woke up faintly.
She reached out and turned off the alarm on the table, and she was still in a daze when she sat down.
Oh, this is the guest room next to Leonard's master bedroom.
She no longer stayed in a maid's room in the back building.
llisa stroked her short hair and stood up.
A drop of water overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she stared at the glass of water and began to freeze.
Shouldn't the glass be empty?!
Maybe it's just an illusion!
This dilemma didn't consu too much of lissa's ti. She made her bed properly, wrapped her chest, and after taking a shower, she did a few touches on her face before she left the room.
Her bedroom and Leonard's room were only steps away.
But it was still too early, and llisa didn't co in and bother him.
She turned around and went downstairs.
In the morning, the Adler family's house in Bandung is very quiet and peaceful.
Except for the sound of water from the fountain in front of the door, everything seed very peaceful.
llisa walked around the garden downstairs with the aim of getting so fresh air. After clearly rembering her surroundings, she planned to go upstairs to see Leonard.
If there was a chance, she still wanted to check how serious the man's wound was.
...
Now that it was less than five o'clock, llisa appeared at Leonard's door.
She raised her hand to knock on the door, but was afraid to disturb him if he was still sleeping.
While hesitating, there was a clear voice inside the door.
Hearing this, llisa didn't hesitate anymore. When she opened the door and entered, she saw Leonard leaning out of bed, reaching out and groping the ground.
And not far from his finger, there were countless broken teacups lying on the floor.
llisa sighed softly, walked quickly, and said in a low voice, "Young master, you just lie down, I'll clean it up."
Leonard's movents stopped in midair, his eyelids drooped. Then he laughed at himself. "It seems that I am now a useless person! I can't even take a cup, what's the point of my life!"
These words touched llisa's heart, causing her to frown inadvertently. "You are thinking too much, have a good rest, everything will be fine."
At this ti, Leonard was already lying on his back on the bed, looking up at the roof with a faint gaze. "You don't have to comfort , it's a fact!"
llisa didn't want to argue with him when she heard such frustrating words.
She crouched carefully on the floor, taking teacup shards piece by piece.
Leonard's eyes flickered for a mont, and when he heard the movents around him, he pursed his lips. "Is breakfast here yet?"
llisa didn't lift her head and imdiately replied, "Should be soon!"
The morning breakfast was to be delivered to respective buildings at 5 AM. By 2:30 in the morning, the back kitchen was getting ready and cooking breakfast for each building.
"Go make breakfast, I'm hungry."
llisa was still picking up the pieces of the cup. "I'll go after I finish cleaning it."
"Go now!" Leonard suddenly raised his voice, making lisa feel helpless.
She had heard of people who were sick and emotionally unstable.
lissa looked at the shards on the floor, thought a little, and said, "Young master, don't get out of bed first, I'll be back after bringing breakfast and continue cleaning."
"I know." Leonard furrowed his brows, eyes half closed looking very serious.
llisa didn't delay, she took a paper towel from the table, placed the shards on it, and piled all the pieces on the floor with the toe of her shoe, then turned and walked out the door.
After she left, Leonard suddenly opened his eyes, lifted his blanket, and got off the bed.
He moved quickly to pick up all the debris on the floor, then… he threw it in the trash can at the foot of the bed.
He shouldn't have dropped his cup!
This shard is too sharp, if lissa was injured, he would feel depressed.
After breakfast was over, it was already seven in the morning.
Strangely, since she ca to Leonard's building, she really didn't find any other maids here.
From last night until now, she had not seen the figure of the head butler.
Thoughtfully, lissa sent forr dinner plates to the dining car on the lower floor. At this mont, in front of the corridor outside the door, a car slowly stopped.
She followed the sound and saw a man and a woman getting off.
llisa had never seen him, but the woman in the yellow skirt was no stranger to her. She was Leonard's fiancée.
At this mont, many worries crossed llisa's mind.
She wanted to go back upstairs as quickly as possible, but the two people outside the door were already walking side by side.
The man was not small, he wore a vest with a shirt and trousers. He had deep eye sockets, and thin lips, kind of reminded her of Leonard.
However, he didn't look as cold and resolute as Leonard.
At least those eyes, which were full of cunning, didn't seem pure and sincere enough.
The woman walked into the hall, looked around, her face confused. "Where are the servants here? A few days ago, there were still many people here. Why is there only one person in the hall today??"
She saw llisa standing in the corner with her head down, and began to look around with just one glance.
Is this… Leonard's second brother?!
Then this person... must be Leonard's younger brother, the strongest contender for the throne of the Adler family's heir, Luke Adler.
llisa stood on the spot and stared at them, thinking of imdiately calling the butler.
The mory of yesterday was still ringing in her ears, she herself did not expect to et the second young master of the Adler family only a day later.
At this ti, Luke heard the woman's question and shrugged nonchalantly. "Big brother's current physical condition... Even if there are a hundred people serving, it will not help him."
After hearing this, the woman pursed her lips. "When do you think Brother Leonard's illness will heal?"
"What? Do you still hope to marry him?"
This woman, Lyn, was the daughter of the Graham family in Bandung.
Lyn looked at Luke's cheeks which contained ridicule, her eyes blinked slightly, not smiling. "Second Brother, from that tone of yours, it seems that you don't expect your older brother to recover?"
Luke glanced slightly, squinting. "Do I still need to make it more obvious?"
This haughty deanor left Lyn speechless for a mont. The two of them spoke as they walked, and quickly walked around the hall towards the elevator.
llisa narrowed her eyes behind them, and both of them dared to discuss Leonard's current condition in the man's own territory.
Luke's tone, which was clearly deceptive, full of deceit and contempt… unknowingly sparked a rage in her heart.
In this case, Leonard's illness is not that simple.
llisa's pretty face turned very cold, and there is a touch of hostility between her cold brows.
Lyn looks gentle, but when she ntions herself at the beginning, she makes people misunderstand her with such an intimidating tone!
Besides, did she think speaking with such a strong aura around her wouldn't make others notice?
llisa took the phone and quickly sent a ssage to the butler.
After that, she caught a glimpse of the elevator door closing slowly. She canceled her plan to take the elevator, then went straight to the stairs at the end of the corridor, and rushed upstairs.
Because of her pregnancy, she resisted the urge to run.
But even when she was pacing up, she watched her steps carefully when she entered the elevator.
As she walked to the third floor from the stairs, she looked up and saw Luke and Lyn walking into Leonard's bedroom.
llisa heaved a sigh of relief, took a glass of water from the corner table, and walked over.
