Chapter 0065

Both maids begged the butler.

“You know how much Master Lucius loves his grandmother. The last time she coughed on water, he almost threw me into the swamp! I wish to live longer.”

“Me too! I’ll be blamed for not steadying Madam Davis when she wobbles while walking. Please, Mr. George!”

George exhaled a defeated sigh. He was aware of how deeply Lucius loved his grandmother.

Every single one of Regina Bush’s caretakers in the Imperial Palace had suffered harsh punishment. George was struggling to find suitable replacements.

“Should any of you excel in her care, you will win Master Lucius’s favor; and he’ll surely fulfill any of your requests.”

However, George’s assurance didn’t convince the maids.

On the other hand, it caught Violet’s attention. She was willing to attempt it despite her lack of experience in caregiving. Lucius’s extreme concern for Regina was intimidating, but she viewed it as an opportunity to win

her freedom.

With resolve, she stepped forward and declared, “I volunteer.”

“Ms. Agatha?” George spun around, astonished.

The maids felt a mix of relief and admiration for Violet’s boldness.

“But I have one condition,” Violet hastily added, worried she would regret it later. “If I do well and the old lady is satisfied, tell Lucius to grant me my departure once my service ends.”

To her surprise, Lucius returned with an elderly woman, gravely ill and unconscious.

Violet recognized she had chosen a path with no return, and she understood the servants’ terror. Despite her best efforts, Regina’s passing seemed unavoidable, sealing Violet’s fate.

“Is it too late to back out?” she asked, tugging at George’s sleeve.

“Master Lucius has already been informed, and has consented.”

It meant she had no way of getting away from the situation.

“Grandma, Grandma,” came Lucius’s soft voice from within the room.

He sat by Regina, holding her hand, his face etched with worry.

For Violet, this was the first instance of witnessing him showing such empathy towards someone else. It sent shivers down her spine.

George explained, “During the Imperial Palace’s crisis, everyone abandoned Master Lucius except for Madam Davis. She stood by him, even divorcing her husband for his sake.
