+8 Pearls

Tessa didn’t press the issue, after all, Lewis, despite his overactive imagination, could be incredibly rigid.

Who knew what kind of instructions Victor had given him?

For all she knew, the guy might actually insist on following her to the bathroom.

God… Her brain just completely shut down. Why would Victor assign someone like this? If the situation was really that serious, couldn’t he at least have sent a female bodyguard?

But then again, thinking about her current relationship with Victor, Tessa figured it wasn’t her place to make too many demands.

Given the circumstances… she’d just skip the nap.

She shot Lewis a glare but said nothing.

The cook came over with her medicine. “Ms. Miller, here’s the medication to take after your meal.”

“Thank you.”

Tessa thanked her politely.

The two maids Silas had hired were dismissed by Victor.

Apparently, he’d said they couldn’t even manage to help her change clothes or administer medicine properly, totally useless.

Tessa felt a little bad about that.

She hadn’t expected that her feverish confusion and lack of cooperation would end up costing people their jobs.

So now, with this new dose of medicine, she took it obediently, drank it all down in one go.

“In a bit… never mind, I’ll get it myself.”

She’d been about to ask the cook to bring her a blanket, but stopped herself.

She wasn’t some pampered heiress anymore.

There was still a tough battle ahead; starting now, she had to do everything she could for herself.

She went upstairs, fetched a blanket, and came back down to curl up on the sofa, draping it over her legs.
