Jared spun around to grab the meds and got a glass of water.
Entering the room, he saw Agnes completely hidden under the covers, motionless.
As Jared gave Nocturne his meds, he took him to another bedroom.
He told Nocturne, "You should go to bed. You're sleeping alone here tonight, okay?"
Nocturne nodded, "Sir, did I trouble you earlier?"
Jared didn't expect Nocturne to be self-aware.
But all Jared could say was, "No, everything is fine."
He just wanted to get back to his room ASAP.
Nocturne suddenly asked curiously, "Was that lady just now your girlfriend?"
Jared thought for a moment, "She's my wife."
Nocturne nodded, "I see, sir, you should head back. Being with your wife is crucial."
Jared couldn't help but chuckle.
How does he always manage to say these things with such a straight face?
Who the hell taught him?
After tucking in Nocturne, Jared emerged from his room, switched off the light, and shut the door.
Then he returned to his room.
But upon entering, he found the bed was already empty.
There was a note on the pillow: " Forget about today."
Jared frowned, clutching the note in his hand.
Agnes, you come and go as you please, what do you take me for?
Agnes ran away the moment Jared left.
Thank god Nocturne came in to distract him.
Otherwise, Agnes couldn't even promise what would've happened just now.
