" Master hasn't returned yet, Madam!" Hearing the servant, after she asked about Edward's returning home, she frowns thinking how recently, she doesn't get to meet Edward like before..
Where went wrong? she asked herself again as Edward's presence recently rare to see around her anymore.
" He must be bored of me. As expected. " She scoffs at herself, entering the bedroom. But the sadness stays same in. She loves the person who always appears in front of her with a smile, despite having a hard time in his company.
But Recently, he doesn't even call her for once. However, Come to think about it, Isn't she here for more than six months already..No. Probably more.
" What's my wedding date?" She asks herself as she probably doesn't remember the date. She takes her phone out to learn about it but stops when the phone buzzes instead. A soft smile appears thinking it may be Edward..
But her smile drops seeing the registered ID.. It's Andrew..
" Yes.. Andrew! When are you going to send my daughter back?" she said rolling on the bed. She never felt this kind of loneliness before..
" Sorry, Sister-in-law! I am traveling around with Suzy.. Shopping for her birthday party!" Andrew kisses on Suzy's forehead..
" Hey! that's not fair. I am all alone here. My daughter needs me too. Send her back before the party!"
" Got it. Anyway, I finally have chance to meet Sandra..Bless me to go everything smoothly!" he grins in excitement.
" Really? That's good. Just don't force her too much. She is still under recovery."
"OK.. I am going now. See you later. Sister-in-law!"
Charlotte looks at the phone screen when he cut the call. A heavy sigh escapes as she looks at the ceiling with a bored expression. This house feels sadly boring without Suzy or Edward. Now she is missing them all along..
"It's better to be his responsibility..At least he would have give me a call for entire day. Liar. Told me that he would love me." A pout makes her face funnier than sadder. However, missing Edward is indeed making her feel greatly lonely and restless..
At evening...
She is trying to reach out to her few friends who may help her about the property and the evidence of murdering her parents. Thankfully, Shayne and her grandparents will help her..
" Hello.. Lauren speaking.." A bold and deep masculine voice hits her eardrum suddenly as she didn't expect that Lauren Bronze, her one of clients would receive the call as soon as she dialed..
Lauren is well-known prosecutor and honest. But because of his anger issues and unbearable temper, people somehow don't want to work with him. But people who are desperate to know about the Truth.. They love to have an honest partner like Lauren Bronze..
" Mr. Lauren! It's me, Charlotte Milestone." she replies in low tone. Although she didn't have a great relationship with him but in a party, he, on his own, gave his number to her. He wished to be useful for her if she needs him someday.
" Charlotte? Wait.. Are you really Charlotte?"
It was unexpected reply from the prosecutor but she hummed with a smile.." I hope you didn't forget.." she replies..
"No Way. I have told you I will be pleased if you contact me..How are you doing and how can I help you?"
" Well, I have a matter to discuss. It's urgent and important.."
" Then shall we meet? Important matters never should be discussed through phone."
" Sure. Where should I meet you?"
It was an unexpected conversation with Lauren that she thinks she might not have because of the temper. However, she feels thankful that he wants to help her with no problem.. Hoping, she doesn't face his anger as well..
After having the conversation, Charlotte goes to the garden and opens her notebook to pen down the street and time when she should meet Lauren Bronze tomorrow. However, she feels a sudden sadness.. What if she can't give them the punishment that they deserve..
" Madam!" One of the Servants calls her in low tone as she is lost in thoughts. She looks up at the servant who seems to be concerned about something..
" Yes.. Anything wrong?"
" Master is back."
" I see. OK." Shutting off the notebook, she walks inside the bedroom. She looks around thinking he may have entered the bathroom but she stops when she hears a breathing sound..
" Edward?"
Edward is facing the wall, hanging his head down. His earlobes and face are Bloody red. " What's wrong? Do you have fever? Edward!"
Cupping his face gently, she presses her cold hand against his forehead. " It's burning. How did you-" She didn't say more, immediately helping him to lay down on the bed and covers him with blanket..
After getting a bowl of cold water, she places the towel on his forehead.. " Don't move. I will get medicine and icepack."
Edward just nods as his body is feeling the scorching hot. It's seemingly a serious situation as his breathing is unsteady as well..
Charlotte dials Sandra and Shayne's phone number but coincidentally no one picked the call. Disappointed, she walks inside the kitchen and takes all the Icepacks out of the refrigerator..
" What's wrong? Madam!" A servant asked seeing their Madam being so hurry and tensed..
" Please, Tell chef to cook some porridge for your Master. He has fever."
" Right away!"
Charlotte smiles in gratitude and runs inside the bedroom.." Hey! Don't move!"
" I need to go to bathroom. I will take shower!" Edward responds in weak tone..
" It's good to take cold shower but what if you catch cold too. Just stay put.. Don't move!" She blocked his way to get up..
" I am hot. I need to take bath."
" Shush! Don't worry about it. I will wipe your body. You will feel better." She assured with a smile as she places the icepack on his forehead. He nods like obedient guy and closes his eyes..
Seeing his eyelashes wet, she feels the clenching pain in her heart. He is indeed in pain.. And the fever is no joke..
Charlotte didn't hesitate to wipe his body with cold towels. However, despite giving him medicine, his fever didn't get down..
" What should I do? No one is receiving the call." Few droplets of tears fall subconsciously. " Madam! What about we calling for ambulance?"
A servant talked behind her. Her eyebrows pulled up as she realized her mind was totally blank thinking she might not able to help him right now..
" Yes. Call.. Call for ambulance right now. We are not -"
" I am not going.." Edward opens his eyes and holds her hand. Charlotte instant stands up seeing her husband talking..
" Are you feeling better? The fever isn't-"
" It's okay. I am feeling much better.. Just stay with me.." He firmly squeezes her hand to assure her that he will be fine..
Charlotte sighs, nodding and kissing his hand. However, the fever is still high not to notice.
