Chapter 2448

Upon reaching the kitchen, Mrs. Simmons, the housekeeper, was busy prepping for the next morning's breakfast. Seeing Sophia, she asked with concern, "Miss, have you been keeping well lately? The weather's been all over the place, temperatures fluctuating wildly. And with your delicate constitution, you must take extra care of yourself."

Sophia felt a warmth in her heart at Mrs. Simmons' words, her thoughts drifting to Jason, who had seemed to cough earlier.
