It was a rare sight to see Madam Jenkins act so kind and pleasant. Susan Shelby realized that she was overwhelmed by Madam Jenkins' reaction.
She hastily said, "It's alright."
"The doctor came over to tell me earlier that Luke is already out of the woods. Susie, it must be tiring for you to stay up and take care of him all night." Madam Jenkins said kindly, "Here, I've sent my staff to prepare a room for you. Go and take a rest in the room."
Susan turned around to look at Luke to find that he was sleeping soundly. She could not help saying smilingly, "Alright. Thank you, Madam Jenkins."
"Don't mention it. I should be the one thanking you instead.” Madam Jenkins lowered her gaze to conceal the slyness in her eyes.
A servant brought Susan to a guest room. 1
Susan was already incapable of keeping her eyes open. She yawned and asked, "Do you know where is Julian now??
"Chairman Shaw is still resting in the room. Don’t worry, Ms. Shelby. Chairman Shaw and you are our honored guests. We will definitely take good care of him," said the servant softly.
Susan nodded. She could not refrain from thinking about throwing herself into bed now.
The servant smiled, "Please rest well. I shall wake you when it’s time for lunch."
The servant retreated from the room as she spoke. Then, she closed the door thoughtfully.
As soon as she departed, Susan laid on the bed and drifted to deep sleep in just a few seconds.
In the dining hall.
Charlotte Jenkins walked over shyly with a cake served on a plate in her hands.
"Julian, I made you lemon cake. Here...give it a taste." Charlotte looked at Julian Shaw in anticipation.
Julian looked up nonchalantly.
Charlotte was rather skilled in baking. The lemon cake looked scrumptious with its fluffy texture and beautiful icing. It looked exquisite.
"I don't like sweet foods," said Julian expressionlessly.
Charlotte hastily added, "The lemon cake isn't that sweet. It tastes refreshing. Here, try it."
"It’s okay. I'm afraid that I'm going to feel sick for the rest of the day,” Julian lamented.
"You..." Charlotte's body shook ever so slightly. She looked like she was about to throw a fit but she soon managed to suppress her rage.
Before she met Julian, she also had no idea that she could stoop so low.
After meeting Julian, her pride and dignity of being the Jenkins family's precious lady were steadily losing traction!
For him, she tried to force herself to be a better person.
For him, she entered the kitchen to cook despite her disdain in the past.
Yet, what did she get in exchange?
She received this man's cold shoulder and nothing else!
Julian was not in the mood to pay attention to Charlotte. He stood up right away.
Charlotte hastily asked, "Julian, where are you going?"
"I'm going to check on Susie," said Julian.
"You can't,” said Charlotte subconsciously.
"Why can't I?" Julian frowned.
Realizing that she sounded too desperate, Charlotte lowered her voice and said softly, "It's the doctor's instruction, remember? My brother needs to rest and recover in a quiet environment. Julian, help us to the end. Just wait for a while longer. The doctor will come and tell us when Luke is fine."
Julian frowned even deeper now.
It had been a full night.
Susan had spent an entire night with Luke all by herself.
The b*st*rd was even holding onto Susie’s hand and refused to let go! 1
