Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 874

"Are you hungry? I prepared some chicken soup for you. Have some. It'll help with the heat stroke." Scarlette adjusted the bed and brought a bowl of chicken soup she had lovingly made for Raeleigh. Raeleigh reached out her hand to take it, sipped it, and asked, "You know how to cook chicken soup?"

"I am an orphan after all. What don't we orphans know?" Scarlette sat by her side and Raeleigh was momentarily stunned. She raised her head and looked at Scarlette. She did not speak but ate the chicken soup in her hand quietly.

Raeleigh handed over the small bowl to Scarlette after she finished eating. Then, she took a look at the weather outside and said, "What day is it today?"

"It's Thursday," Scarlette answered while putting the small bowl aside. Raeleigh looked at her quizzically. "Isn't it Wednesday."

"Wednesday has passed. You've been sleeping for a day." Scarlette turned around and sat down, Raeleigh knew only then that she had been in hospital for a whole day.

"How did you answer them about the matter with Quirina?" Raeleigh asked. It occurred to her that they were here because Quirina was launching an investigation on them.

With a look of disapproval on her face, she replied, "What could I say? I simply kept silent."

"You didn't say a word?" Raeleigh was quite surprised. Scarlette said, "Haven't you learnt anything from the TV shows? I have the right to remain silent."

Raeleigh froze for a moment and then burst into laughter. "You really have a solution for everything."

"This is barely a solution. It's common sense. When in an unknown territory, before you have ascertained your enemies' motives towards you, you must not simply open your mouth or else you might fall into their trap and be killed by them for saying the wrong thing." Scarlette remembered clearly these words that her master, Alvin, had taught her. Thinking about him, she started to miss him.

Raeleigh thought about what she said and thought that Scarlette made a lot of sense. She nodded and moved to get out of bed. "I want to go to the bathroom."

"I'll help you."

"Alright."

Scarlette helped Raeleigh to the toilet. After she went in, Raeleigh looked up at the surveillance camera in the ward and squeezed out a smile at it.

Jepherson stood up from his seat, picked up a cup of tea on the desk, and blew on it while walking.

Stuart stood aside. The young master had not slept for the whole day and kept sipping on the tea. If this went on, then he wouldn't be sleeping that night either.

"Stuart."

"Young Master."

"Let the Old Madam know of this matter." Jepherson drank his tea and stood by the window, looking down. Stuart thought for a moment before replying, "Yes, sir."

Marissa was admiring the flowers at home when she heard some of the servants gossiping about something. She turned and asked them, "What are you discussing today?"

The few servants quickly replied, "Madam, it's nothing much."

"Nothing? What is it then that I heard about something happening at the university?" Marissa looked at these servant girls whom she had spoiled. These girls had followed her here from A City. So, they knew the Old Madam very well. They were favored upon in the Ink Garden. Even when the old caretakers of this place saw them, they would be respectful to them.

Marissa liked them because they were sensible and obedient. What was wrong with them that day? They had acted out of place and were gossiping at the side.
