"She'll be fine," replied the doctor as he took out his pen and scribbled something on his notepad. "She's got a fever from being under the rain for too long, but she'll come around once the fever subsides."
"Ok." Henry nodded in acknowledgment.
Yvonne scanned Henry secretly and it was as she expected. The worried look on Henry's face had disappeared.
Feeling jealous, Yvonne walked out of the room, stomping the ground as she walked.
"Where are you going?" asked Henry.
Yvonne only continued to walk out without pausing or replying.
Sue was very unhappy when she saw Yvonne walk out and looked at Henry. "Sir, can't you tell that madam is angry?"
"Angry?" Henry was startled.
He honestly couldn't tell.
"What is she angry for?" asked Henry.
Sue sighed and explained, "How dense can you be to b e unable to even tell that madam is angry? Let me tell you then sir, madam is angry at you for being too concerned over Jacqueline."
Henry's eyes widened slightly. He had intended to explain that he wasn't actually overly concerned about Jacqueline.
However, the words wouldn’t come out of his mouth.
Sue shook her head as she saw Henry’s silence. She initially had a little confidence that he would be able t o do the right thing, but was proven wrong and could only walk out in disappointment.
She could not understand what sort of magic Jacqueline had.
'Sir has already fallen in love with madam, yet he is still unable to let go of Jacqueline.'
It was frustrating!
As Sue walked out of the room, she saw Yvonne sitting by the stairs looking sad. Sue was shocked and she quickly walked towards her and asked, "Why are you sitting here madam?"
"I was feeling a little faint, so I sat down to rest for a while,” answered Yvonne, her face pale.
Sue was immediately anxious at the news of Yvonne feeling faint. She quickly reached out her hand and placed it on Yvonne's forehead. “Let me have a look. D o you have a fever from standing under the rain and wind for too long?"
"I don’t have a fever, I just checked," said Yvonne with a smile.
Sue felt Yvonne's forehead and relaxed a little bit when found her words to be true. "Thankfully there’s n o fever, but we cannot let our guard down just yet. I’ll head to the kitchen and boil ginger for you to drink."
"It's alright Sue," refused Yvonne.
"I insist!" said Sue.
Yvonne couldn't dissuade Sue and was brought to the kitchen downstairs with her.
While Sue was busy in the kitchen, Yvonne waited by the kitchen door.
Soon after, a bowl of hot ginger was brought to Yvonne.
Yvonne thanked Sue and began to drink.
The drink had warmed not only Yvonne's stomach, but also the coldness she felt in her heart just now.
She put down the bowl and breathed in a breath of fresh air. The paleness from her face began to disappear and was replaced by a smile.
"Are you feeling better madam? Do you still feel faint?" asked the concerned Sue as she reached out and took the empty bowl from Yvonne.
Yvonne shook her head and said, "Your ginger drink worked wonders."
