Chapter 21
Brian seemed to be doing something on his phone. After a while, he lifted his head from the phone screen and looked at her. “Are you tired?”
“I want to go upstairs. Can you carry me up?”
“Sure.”
Brian carried her upstairs and settled her in a guest room. As he waited for Louise to fall asleep, his phone vibrated.
He answered the phone, exchanged a few words, and then went downstairs.
Outside the door was a delivery guy. Brian took the items from him, paid, and then headed toward the maid’s room on the
first floor.
Grace’s door was not locked. He quietly entered the room and found her sound asleep.
He stood quietly by the bedside, watching her for a moment. He gently placed the medicine by the bed and then left the
room.
Grace woke up again, this time due to hunger.
As she moved her leg, the top of her foot grazed against the bedsheet, causing her to inhale sharply from the pain.
She turned on the light, and her gaze fell on the medicine bottle at the bedside. She picked up the bottle and glanced at the Instructions, her eyes darkening.
Did he put it there for her?
“How could that be possible? Grace, don’t delude yourself. How could he possibly care about your well–being?” She thought.
It must have been bought by Melvin.
Grace took the medicine and left to find Melvin.
“Miss Sherman, this must be placed by Mr. Brian. I haven’t bought any medicine for you,” said Melvin.
“Not bought by you?” Grace was taken aback.
