"How could I trouble you, Dr. Thames?" Although they both worked for Jayden, Cherry felt that Dr. Thames was a doctor and her status was superior to a servant's. How could Cherry let Dr. Thames do her job?
Dr. Thames smiled as she said, "Not at all, Auntie Cherry. On the contrary, I'll have to trouble you to prepare a hot water bag for Miss Turner."
"Okay, I should go get it ready now. Otherwise, Master Jayden is going to worry about Miss Turner again," Auntie Cherry handed the cup of ginger tea to Dr. Thames and hurriedly left, for fear that she would delay even for a second longer.
It was Dr. Thames who had asked Auntie Cherry to pass her the ginger tea. However, when Auntie Cherry actually handed it to her, she was exasperated. Why should she be the one serving that b*tch?
Why!
Why should she be the one?
Dr. Thames was howling inwardly, but she did not dare to show it on her face. She had to continue to pretend to be the gentle, considerate and kind Dr. Thames.
Creak...
When Silvia heard that someone opening the door, Silvia immediately poked her head out from the blanket. "Jayden, you..."
Before she could even finish, Silvia saw that the person who was entering the room was not Jayden, whom she was expecting. Instead, it was Dr. Thames, the last person she would ever want to see. "Miss Turner, it's me, not Master Jayden."
Silvia's face fell. "Who let you in?"
"Who let me in?"
"Don't you know that if it weren't for you, the hostess of this house would have been me? It's up to me to decide which room I want to go to. Who are you to question me?"
This was what Dr. Thames thought, but she did not dare to say it out loud. In front of Silvia, she continued her role as a sensible and beautiful doctor. "Miss Turner, Master Jayden said that you were unwell, so he asked me to take a look at you. This is the ginger tea that Auntie Cherry had prepared for you. You should drink it when it's still warm, I'm sure that you'll feel better after drinking it." "Ginger tea?" Silvia's gaze shifted from Dr. Thames' smiling face to the cup in her hand. "Are you sure that this is ginger tea, and not some poison that you've prepared for me?"
Speaking of which, Dr. Thames had never done anything hostile to Silvia. No matter whether Jayden was around, Dr. Thames had always treated her with utmost respect. Logically speaking, Silvia should have liked Dr. Thames.
However, Silvia's intuition told her that Dr. Thames was coveting her Jayden. Therefore, she must not be good to Dr. Thames, or else she might fall into her trap.
"Miss Turner, if I really wanted to poison you, I would not be that stupid to do it in such an obvious way, right?" Dr. Thames put on a gentle smile and placed the cup of tea on the nightstand. "What's more, I've never thought of doing you any harm, Miss Turner."
"You've never thought of doing any harm to me?" Silvia was certain that Dr. Thames was faking it, but she still sat up and drank the tea that Dr. Thames had brought over for her.
Silvia didn't believe that Dr. Thames had never actually thought about it. On the other hand, she absolutely believed that a smart woman like her would never spike the ginger tea.
