The maid stood there, momentarily stunned, as if she hadnât expected that Lucindaâs reason for requesting a room cleanup was her disdain for Mr.
Chapman.
Having no desire to remain in the living room any longer, Lucinda hurriedly ascended the stairs and knocked on Sonnyâs door.
With the maid downstairs, she purposely shouted, âItâs me.
Are you feeling any better? Still vomiting? Let me check on you.
â
The door was opened immediately.
A manâs weak voice emanated from the room.
âMiss Simmons, please come in.
Iâve vomited twice in just minutes.
â
âWhat? Mr.
Chapman and I are going to the Imperial Palace tomorrow.

How can you protect me if youâre this weakâ¦â
Their conversation could no longer be heard the moment they closed the door.
The maid shifted her gaze from upstairs to the mess in the living room.
She focusing on executing Lucindaâs instructions and clearing up the broken porcelain by the entrance.
Meanwhile, Sonny let out a soft hiss.
He carefully locked the door and switched off the bug hidden under his bed.
Then, in a low voice, he asked, âDo you have a plan now that youâre going to the Imperial Palace tomorrow?â
Lucinda snorted.
âTomorrow, Iâll go to the Imperial Palace to see whatâs happening.
And then youâ¦â
Then they divided the tasks between them.
The following morning, in Cadiered, in N&L Fairy Land, the master bedroom resonated with a persistent cough.
Despite having drank ginger tea the previous night, Nathan still caught a cold.
Seated on the edge of the bed, Cyrus grumbled while helping Nathan bring down his fever.
âJust look at you! So frail! Because youâre sick, my brothers and I have to come over and take care of you.
Youâre just so âimportantâ to my family!â
Cyrus clenched his teeth, casting a glare at Nathan before shifting his gaze to the man standing at the foot of the bed.
Dark circles marred his exhausted face.
His eldest brother, Graham, leaned against the wall, his countenance a mix of fury and gloom.
Hilliard stood in front of Lucindaâs dresser, his back to the bed.
All her cosmetics had been cleared away, replaced by numerous medicine boxes.
He focused on the prescription with a cold demeanor.
