Chapter 366
Grandpa and Grandma’s central nervous system had taken a serious hit, and with respiratory infections, anemia, and electrolyte metabolism disorders to boot, they’ve got to juggle a cocktail of medications.
She first prepped the meds for the first three days, grinding them into powders so they’d dissolve easily in water.
Next thing she knew, it was already half past eight in the evening.
Hans was hanging out in the lush courtyard, checking his watch and shooting glances at the front gate, but his sister was still no–show.
Heard she was out on some business, probably to see that doctor, huh?
Who knew if the doctor was a guy or a girl? If it’s a guy, it’s kinda late now; was his sister safe out there all alone?
Just then, Edith stepped up, reporting respectfully, “Hans, those marigolds you ordered are all set. Wanna take a look?”
Hans looked up, and on the balcony of his sister’s second–floor room, marigolds were all aglow around the railing. It was a sight for sore eyes. Wonder if Bella would perk up seeing this.
“That’s Bella’s room; I’d better not.”
Sure, he’s her brother, but he’s still a guy, and it’s late. Without her permission, he can’t just barge into her room.
“You can go about your business.”
“Yes, sir.” Edith withdrew respectfully.
After a while, Hans didn’t see his sister, so he got up and walked into the living room, asking, “Martha, has Serena hit the sack?
“You need Serena, Hans? At this hour, she’s definitely still up! Hold on a sec, I’ll go fetch her.
Martha was kinda giddy, ‘cause in this house, aside from being favored by the old lady, the next best thing was to be noticed and pampered by Hans!
Among all of them, Hans held the most sway. Anyone he wanted to keep around had to respect his decision.
“Nah, I’ll go find her.” Hans walked upstairs to find Serena without making her run errands.
Martha looked at the clock and couldn’t help but do a little happy dance inside. By all accounts, it was about time for the young master to call it a night, but instead, he was breaking routine for Serena!
“Serena, it’s me; are you asleep?” Hans stood at Serena’s door, giving it a knock.
“Brother?” Serena opened the door as soon as she heard the sound. It’s been ages since her brother came to see her alone.
Tonight, Arabella was out, and her brother just happened to come see her, It must be because Arabella usually kept him away!
With that thought, Serena happily stepped aside and said, “Brother, come on in for a chat.”
“Let’s head to the terrace.”
Each floor had a spacious viewing terrace, and Serena’s floor was no exception.
On the terrace surrounded by swaying plants, Serena asked cheerfully, “Brother, what brings you here so late?”
Before Hans could answer, Serena took the opportunity to whine, “You haven’t come to chat with me for so long; I thought our sibling relationship had changed! I’ve always treated you as my brother, but I don’t know if in your heart I’m still your sister.
Saying this, Serena put on a fake aggrieved expression.
“Sure thing.”
