Why was the one she had married not Tremaine?
Why? Why did she have to suffer?
Yuliana entered Ruth's room.
Ruth was resting on her bed.
The moment she saw Yuliana, Ruth immediately got out of bed. "Madam Yuliana."
Yuliana pressed Ruth back on the bed. "What happened? You didn't carry out my plan?"
Ruth bit her lip hard.
A moment later, she relaxed, and there was blood seeping out her lips. "Madam Yuliana, it's all my fault. I couldn't complete your plan."
Yuliana's face fell. "Have you forgotten what I said to you? Ruth, you have probably forgotten how my parents treated you, now that you dare to disobey what I said!"
Ruth suddenly knelt on the bed.
Her eyelashes trembled violently. "Madam Yuliana, I'll never forget how your parents treated me. I was by Mr. Zorion's bedside the whole day, and I didn't feel great as I stayed up for a long time. Then I looked for Yesseca, and for some reason, I found myself by the lotus pond. I slipped and fell into the pond. Yesseca wanted to save me and jumped into the pond as well. It was Mr. Tremaine that saved us both from the pond later on. That was why I couldn't carry out your plan."
"How could you be so careless?!" Yuliana raised her voice.
The plan had been about to succeed, but it was all ruined by Ruth.
"Madam Yuliana, it's all my fault. It's all my fault." Ruth bowed to Yuliana on the bed.
Yuliana hesitated for a moment and helped her up.
Ruth had been the most loyal servant to her for so many years, and she would need Ruth in the future. Although Yuliana was furious, she figured it was better to let things go.
Otherwise, would she let Ruth's death serve as an apology?
If Ruth were to die, where would she find such a loyal maid again?
"Forget it. Let me think about other plans." Yuliana said irritably, "Don't be so impetuous next time."
Ruth's face turned serious. "Madam Yuliana, it's best if you don't have any other plans."
Yuliana glared at Ruth. "What do you mean? You want me to spend my life with that fool?"
Ruth hurriedly explained, "I don't mean that, but do you know why Yesseca saved me when I fell into the lotus pond? She had been following me since I looked for her. When she found that I fell into the lotus pond, she must have realized that something was wrong."
Yuliana's face turned pale. "Did she realize anything?"
Ruth shook her head and said, "Nothing for the time being, but it is hard to guarantee that we will not be discovered if we continue. And Mr. Tremaine came to me because I fell into the lotus pond. You'd better stop, or it would be bad if Mr. Tremaine realized the truth."
Yuliana's face turned red and white as if her face had been colored.
That evening, Yesseca stayed at the Quartley family home for dinner.
She was deemed as an important guest.
Madam Quartley specifically asked that Yesseca sat next to her and even dragged her to her seat. She even chatted and spoke with Yesseca throughout the meal.
Of course, it was all because Yesseca's prescription had saved Zorion.
Even Yuliana had to put on a smile out of fear of being suspected, "Grandma, it's all thanks to Yesseca. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know what to do."
As Yuliana said this, she clenched her hands under the dining table.
"That's right," Madam Quartley said with a smile, "It would have been risky to do an operation on Zorion, but Yesseca managed to eliminate the risk."
Montez interrupted, "Yes, Yesseca is the best!"
Yesseca was embarrassed to be praised by so many people.
But she also noticed something.
Everyone on the table, including Yuliana, praised her. But Tremaine didn't.
Yesseca did not mind.
Because in her heart, Tremaine had no emotions. Would a man with a poker face praise people?
Of course not!
Yuliana finished her dinner quickly.
After she finished, she got up and bade farewell.
She said that she was a little tired after going to and fro, and she wanted to have a good rest.
