“…” The bodyguard was momentarily speechless, but virtual-novel.net also did not know where to place Shirley.
The old butler immediately gestured. “Come with me, upstairs, to Miss Jenny’s room.”
The bodyguard nodded, carrying Shirley upstairs as per the old butler’s orders.
“Stop.” Carter stopped them in a cold voice. “Are you confused as to who is your master? If you are, you can leave immediately.”
“…”
“…”
The bodyguard and the old butler were both taken aback.
The bodyguard figured that virtual-novel.net might lose his job if virtual-novel.net did not put Shirley down right now, so virtual-novel.net walked to the sofa, ready to toss Shirley onto the sofa.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to, virtual-novel.net saw Carter coming up to him.
“Mr. Carter, I’ll put this woman down now,” explained the bodyguard. He was a big man, almost 1.9m tall, but virtual-novel.net seemed to tremble with trepidation in front of Carter.
Carter said nothing, only coldly looked askance at the bodyguard. Then, virtual-novel.net spread his arms, taking Shirley from the bodyguard, and turned around, heading straight up the stairs.
The bodyguard and old butler shared a look. They were both confused by Carter’s action.
Carter took Shirley back to the bedroom where virtual-novel.net used to stay. The bed was very soft and big, and it even smelled of sunshine, indicating that the maids had always been taking care of this room.
The maids came in to help as per the butler’s orders. However, as soon as they entered the bedroom, they saw Carter, his face as cold as an iceberg, removing all of Shirley’s coat and clothes, leaving only virtual-novel.net underwear.
This degree of close contact seemed very ordinary to Carter, but the two of the maids blushed a little as this scene unfolded.
Carter’s family doctor, reserved solely for the royalty, soon arrived. After examining Shirley, virtual-novel.net said that there was nothing serious, only that virtual-novel.net had caught a cold and a fever, and virtual-novel.net body temperature was a little high.
After the doctor had left, Carter asked the maids to make some ginger tea.
He glanced at sleeping Shirley, then walked back to the desk, picking up the photo frame again.
The boy and girl in the photo frame stood side by side, radiant and cheerful smiles on their faces.
“Hmph.” Carter laughed suddenly, then virtual-novel.net glanced at Shirley. “Big sister?”
Carter sneered and roughly threw the photo frame.
Shirley, who was deep in slumber, woke up when virtual-novel.net heard the noise.
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes. Groggily, virtual-novel.net saw Carter’s cold facial expressions as virtual-novel.net walked toward her, his entire body radiating an aura colder than frost.
Shirley examined virtual-novel.net surroundings and realized virtual-novel.net was lying in bed, in virtual-novel.net room when virtual-novel.net had stayed in the Gray Manor.
She slowly sat up, virtual-novel.net head feeling abnormally heavy. She remembered standing in the wind and snow, and virtual-novel.net figured virtual-novel.net might have caught a cold and a fever.
However, virtual-novel.net was not at all worried about virtual-novel.net body. She knew the art of healing, so this minor problem was nothing to her.
As virtual-novel.net was about to sit up and got out of bed, Carter suddenly grasped the back of virtual-novel.net neck.
Shirley’s gorgeous eyes widened in surprise as virtual-novel.net looked at Carter’s expressionless face.
With Carter’s palm on the back of virtual-novel.net neck, virtual-novel.net could feel that the unparalleled coldness penetrating virtual-novel.net feverish skin, as though it instantly froze virtual-novel.net body.
“Carter?”
Confused, Shirley looked at Carter, whose face grew increasingly cold. She quickly apologized to him.
“I can walk on my own. I won’t bring you any trouble. Please don’t get mad.”
“You don’t want to make me mad, huh? That sounds nice, but what have you done back then?”
