Chapter 94
My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball
Chapter 94 What On Earth Did He See In Her Her thoughts coming back to the present, Rosalie suppressed the strange feeling in her chest and approached the three people in the manor. Estie had a fever right now, but her eyes were still bright.
When she saw Rosalie, her eyes seemed to sparkle as she stared intently at Rosalie.
Rosalie gave her a concerned look.
Estie immediately held out her hands for Rosalie.
The latter instinctively glanced at Byron.
Seriously, this little girl⦠She was sick, but she wanted a stranger to hold her over her fatherâs embrace.
Rosalie wondered what Byron would think. The man simply offered Estie to her calmly. Rosalie hesitated for a second before taking the little girl from him. As soon as she held her, she could feel the girlâs warmth. Estie felt like a tiny heater in her arms.
Estie plastered her face against the pretty auntieâs. Rosalie felt nice and cool, and Estie narrowed her eyes happily. âHer feverâs pretty high.â Rosalie held the little girl a bit tighter and asked her gently, âDo you feel really bad, Estie?â
Estie nodded.
Rosalie saw that her eyes were slightly red from the fever, and her heart ached for the girl. She turned to ask Mrs. Zora, âHas she taken her medicine?â Mrs. Zora finally returned to the present, nodding hastily. âYes, she has.â She then gave Rosalie a timid look. âWhen did you get back, Maâam?â She had been staying with the Lawrences for some time, and she had served Rosalie for a while when the latter married into the family too. Back then, she truly respected Rosalie.
She had even been somewhat surprised when she found out Rosalie had left without a word.
She never expected Rosalie to return.
The way she addressed her made Rosalie pause, but then she smiled and said, âI came back a while ago, but please donât call me that anymore. Itâs been six years since I left the Lawrences.â
Mrs. Zora understood and said with feeling, âYou havenât changed at all. And here I thought⦠Itâs nothing. Iâll make sure to remember next time.â
Rosalie nodded.
âAre you here⦠to visit the Little Lady?â Mrs. Zora asked again.
Rosalie explained, âI bumped into Byron at a patientâs house. When I heard that Estie wasnât feeling well, I dropped by to pay her a visit.â. Mrs. Zoraâs heart twisted in her chest, and she mumbled, âThatâs good. Iâm sure the Little Lady will recover quickly if youâre here.â
Rosalie was on a completely different page. She simply assumed that Mrs. Zora thought she could take better care of Estie because she was a doctor and could treat illnesses, so she nodded with a smile.
âDonât worry. Iâll help Estie however I can.â
Mrs. Zora could not help but feel a little surprised at that. The Madam was making it sound like she was an outsider. The Little Lady was her daughter, and now that she was sick, shouldnât Maâam stay by her side to take care of her? Besides, the Little Lady would feel better having her mother with her, and Mrs.
Zora knew how amazing a doctor Rosalie was. Back then, Rosalie was the one who treated her whenever she had any headaches or fevers.
The Little Ladyâs fever should be nothing to her. Thinking back on the time Maâam stayed with them, Mrs. Zora could not help but feel a wave of pity. Maâam was beautiful and capable, but she never put up any airs around the servants. She had treated them like family.
Miss Fuller, on the other hand, would drop by every so often. Whenever the Master was not around, she would behave like the mistress of the household, looking down on them and barking orders at them. She barely treated them like human beings.
Who knew what the Master saw in herâ¦
When Byron heard how Mrs. Zora addressed Rosalie, he felt disorientated for a second as well. When Rosalia corrected her the very next second, he felt somewhat conflicted.
