Even Alisa noticed that Olivia didn't seem herself. Concerned, she approached her in the morning, asking, "What's wrong, Ma'am? Did you have a nightmare?"
Olivia, panic-stricken, sat motionless in bed. Her head was drenched in sweat, her face ashen.
"Ma'am?" Alisa pressed gently.
Olivia gazed at her in silence for a moment before pulling her knees close, appearing utterly helpless.
Alisa sensed her distress, sat beside her, and grasped her shoulders. "What's the matter? Did something happen?"
"I'm scared," Olivia whispered, her voice barely audible.
"What is it?"
Olivia remained silent, her body trembling.
Alisa, alarmed, exclaimed, "Did something frighten you?"
Olivia stayed silent, burying her face between her knees.
Growing frantic, Alisa hurried to find Maisy.
Maisy sat on the couch, engaged in conversation with the maids in her room. As usual, Ana was also present.
Ana usually spent her time playing poker with friends or visiting the beauty salon, but she often stayed home to keep Maisy company.
Upon seeing Alisa enter, Maisy asked, "What brings you here? Where's Olivia?"
Alisa rushed to explain, "Ms. Maisy, Ms. Olivia isn't feeling well."
