Violet walked past them softly. When she opened the door, she did it cautiously. Since she was paying

attention to her own movements, she did not notice that Lucius was looking at her coldly.

“Lucius…” His new flame murmured. She spoke slowly, and it sounded really seductive, but Lucius was

not in

the mood. He shoved her away and left without another word.

The new flame’s face was still flushed, but at that moment, resentment bloomed in her eyes.

It was midnight. Violet was sleeping soundly when someone knocked on the door and woke her up.

Thinking

that she was dreaming, she turned around, only to hear a servant calling her from outside. “Madam, Mr.

George has summoned you to Master Lucius’s bedroom!” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The knocking grew louder. If Violet did not open the door, the servant might actually kick it down. With

her

eyes still bleary with sleep, Violet got up and opened the door. “What is it?”

“Mr. George said you’ll know once you get there.”

Violet was practically dragged over. When she reached Lucius’s bedroom, she saw him leaning over

the bed

and puking. The light was dim, but she could still see that his face was pale.

George’s worry grew. When he saw Violet, he asked anxiously. “What did you put in Master Lucius’s

food?!”

Violet was still sleepy, so she could not figure out what had caused Lucius to puke. Before she could

make

heads or tails of the situation, Lucius finished throwing up. He picked up a glass of water and rinsed his

mouth.

Then, he looked at her coldly.

“I just used the ingredients in the kitchen.” Violet looked at him innocently. Once she realized that her

words were really ambiguous, she added, “I didn’t add anything else!”

“Send the food in the kitchen for testing. If you did cause this, I won’t let you off!” Lucius ordered, and

he

practically spat out his last word to show that there would be hell to pay if Violet was truly responsible.

George left. Then, a doctor came in.

The doctor asked a few specific questions. When he heard that Lucius ate ten dishes’ worth of food, he

frowned. “Master, you’re just suffering from indigestion.”

“Pfft.” Violet snickered. He had indigestion? And here they were acting as if Lucius was about to die,

which would lead to Imperial Enterprises going bankrupt.

Lucius looked like he had just sucked on a lemon. He glared at Violet with a dark expression, and

Violet hunched her shoulders. Once she remembered her status in Imperial Palace, she tried her best

not to laugh

and bowed her head to pretend to be a good girl.

The doctor gave Lucius some digestion pills.

“You’ll need someone to keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t get a fever at night.”

“I’ll do it.” Lucius’s new flame had gotten word of him being sick and hurried over. She wanted to take

up the task, so Violet stretched and turned to leave.

“She’ll do it.” Lucius gestured at Violet.

“Me?” Violet’s jaw fell slack, and she pointed at herself in disbelief. Why would he pick her when there

were so many other options available? “Why me?”

“You’re the reason why I ended up like this. Of course you’re the one who has to keep watch!” he said,

then

leaned against the headboard with his eyes shut. Violet clenched her fists. He was the one who ate too

much!

What did that have to do with her?!

But she could not argue with someone who had way more authority than she did. She knew that she

could not win against him. So, even though she did not want to, she walked over to him with her

shoulders slumped.

The new flame gave Lucius a sad look, then glared at Violet. Even if Violet was oblivious, she could still

sense that to the new flame, taking care of Lucius was a rare chance to get closer to him.
