S21 57. Melanie’s Rage

Barbara quickly shook her head. “No!”

Everyone looked at her. “Why not?” Louis pursed his lips.

Barbara grimaced. “My mother seems to need some time alone. She won’t like it if someone disturbs her peace.”

A second later, she glanced at the servant. “Nora, can you take dinner to my mother’s room? If she doesn’t answer or even refuses, just leave the trolley in front of her bedroom door.”

Nora shuddered in horror. It was as if she had just received a deadly mission. Nevertheless, she still nodded.

Arriving at Melanie’s door, Nora took a deep breath. After exhaling slowly, she knocked.

“Excuse me, Ma’am. I’ve come to deliver your dinner.”

Suddenly, there was a thud. Nora flinched and backed away from the door.

“Don’t bother me!”

Nora’s shoulders shook violently. Without saying excuse me, she ran away from the trolley.

“What happened, Nora? What was that noise?” Philip approached Nora in the middle of the stairs.

The servant shook her head. Her face was still deathly pale.

“I don’t know. She threw something at the door. Was it a pillow? But it made a very loud sound. It looked like something much heavier.”
