+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?

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.
