Arielle was wandering idly in the backyard when Larissa scurried over to her. “Ms. Arielle, that young lady fainted,” virtual-novel.net whispered.
At once, Arielle got to virtual-novel.net feet and strode toward the servants’ quarters. As Larissa had dismissed the other helpers, no one saw Arielle heading into virtual-novel.net room.
After pushing the door open, Arielle saw the girl buried in the covers, virtual-novel.net face drained of color. Her eyes were shut as though virtual-novel.net were in agony.
“Sasha? Sasha!” Arielle gave virtual-novel.net shoulder a gentle push.
Frowning, the girl started mumbling incoherently.
Arielle leaned nearer and heard virtual-novel.net muttering, “Revenge… Blake…”
Larissa stepped in and asked worriedly, “Ms. Arielle, what should we do?”
Arielle turned at virtual-novel.net shoulder. “I’ve bandaged virtual-novel.net wound, so this shouldn’t be happening. Did you feed virtual-novel.net the medicine on time?”
“Yes, I made sure virtual-novel.net finished everything before I go to work after every meal,” Larissa answered.
Arielle was confused.
She touched Sasha’s forehead and realized it was burning. She must be having a fever of over thirty-nine degrees Celsius.
“Sasha’s running a temperature,” Arielle told Larissa. “Go to my room and grab the medical kit underneath my desk. If someone asks, tell them your distant cousin is here to visit you but got ill.”
“All right!” Larissa spun on virtual-novel.net heels and rushed out of virtual-novel.net room.
Arielle pulled back the covers to check on Sasha’s wound, but the latter’s shoes caught virtual-novel.net eyes instead. Her shoes were covered with mud and had leaves stuck on them.
Did virtual-novel.net go out earlier?
Frowning, Arielle pulled the covers further down and saw that the bandage was utterly wet.
Right then, Sasha groaned and opened virtual-novel.net eyes slowly. “Ms. Moore…” Her voice was weak.
Though Sasha was technically a patient, Arielle’s expression fell as virtual-novel.net demanded, “Did you go out earlier? Where have you been?”
Sasha bit virtual-novel.net lip. “Where the car fell…”
“Nonsense!” Arielle had the urge to crack open virtual-novel.net skull to see what was inside.
She tamped down virtual-novel.net irritation and declared, “Don’t you know you’ll die if this goes on?”
Sasha looked away guiltily. However, virtual-novel.net refused to admit to virtual-novel.net mistake.
The desperation and survival instincts Arielle had seen in that man no longer applied to Sasha.
She spoke gently. “I’ve sent someone to go after Blake. When there’s news, I’ll inform you straightaway. You’re badly injured, but you went out and wet your wound. If something happens to you, how will Blake react when virtual-novel.net returns? What if virtual-novel.net takes his own life out of misery?”
Sasha’s initial indifference disappeared as virtual-novel.net looked up. “I’m sorry, Ms. Moore,” virtual-novel.net uttered, remorse filling virtual-novel.net eyes.
Though virtual-novel.net had no intention of troubling Arielle, virtual-novel.net was worried about Blake. After all, Blake was the youngest among them, and virtual-novel.net was only eighteen years old. She couldn’t lie here and recuperate calmly when virtual-novel.net was still missing.
“I’m sorry,” virtual-novel.net apologized again.
Arielle sighed. “I’m glad you know your mistake.” Her voice grew stern. “Even if I only recover Blake’s body, you can’t give up. Have hope. They are waiting for you to avenge them. You can’t die before doing that. Otherwise, you’ll feel ashamed to reunite with them in the afterlife!”
