William had a terrible night.

Unable to sleep well, he woke up with a pounding headache and a heavy, uncomfortable feeling all over his body. When he opened his eyes, his stomach was empty and aching. He turned over, but the space next to him was empty. He rubbed his temples, trying to ease the pressure in his head.

“Rachel…” he murmured softly.

The door creaked open, revealing Arsen in the doorway.

“Mr. Lewis, you’re awake.”

William pushed the covers off and sat up. “Where’s Rachel?”

“She left early for the office, sir,” Arsen answered.

William got out of bed, got dressed, and walked into the dining room. The table was set, but there was only some bread and milk served.

“Where’s the chicken soup?” he asked with a frown.

Arsen lowered his head. “Sorry, Mr. Lewis, I don’t know how to make chicken soup. Mrs. Lewis said she was busy with work and didn’t have time to make it. She said you could just eat whatever’s here.”

William felt a wave of frustration he couldn’t explain. Whenever he had a hangover, Rachel always made sure he had his favorite chicken soup. It didn’t matter how busy she was, or even if it meant waking up at four or five in the morning to cook it for him.

This was the first time he had woken up to find the table empty, without her there.

His stomach hurt again, sharper this time. He hunched over, instinctively pressing his hand to his stomach.

“Get me my stomach medicine,” he said.

Arsen began looking around, clearly flustered. “Mr. Lewis, where do you keep your stomach medicine?”

William realized suddenly that Rachel was always the one who placed the medicine on the table for him whenever he had stomach issues.
