Chapter 63

The next morning, Rachel insisted on going through with the discharge procedure. Therefore, Julian took half a day off to send her back to the Burton Residence.

“My mother is not at home today, so you can take a good rest for a day,” he urged as he helped her back to her room. “Even if you are recuperating at home, you should rest well. Don’t move around as your injury will take at least three to five days to fully heal.”

She nodded. Thank you.

Then, Julian glanced at a figure hiding by the door before he deliberately raised his voice and added, “Some servants in the family have stayed here for a long time and have thus forgotten their identity. Although I am not the head of this house, I still have the power to dismiss servants.”

The shadow at the door shifted for a moment before it was Mrs. Duncan who walked out. She sheepishly answered, “Young Master Peters, I just care about Ra-I just care about Mrs. Burton and wanted to see whether there is anything I can help with.”

Julian snorted coldly. “Is that so? You’re not here to spy on us?”

At that, Mrs. Duncan’s face paled.

He warned, “I’m going back to work in the afternoon, so you better serve her well. If anything happens to her, my brother won’t let you off the hook.”

She hurriedly nodded, not daring to say anything more.

When he left, she stood in the doorway and looked at Rachel before speaking in an odd way, “Mrs. Burton, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.”

Rachel shook her head. I don’t have much appetite. Don’t mind me; just close the door for me.

“You need to eat a little. I’ll have the kitchen prepare something light for you.”
