Chased Her Around After Breaking off His Engagement novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650: Hidden Words

“Understood,” Lisa replied without indicating whether she would return and hung up the phone just like that.

Scarlet was extremely anxious as she looked at Cecilia, who lay unconscious on the bed. She measured her temperature again, and it had risen to 102.56°F.

She opened the door and immediately called Myra, who stood outside. “Miss Cecilia has a fever. Go get some fever patches and have the kitchen prepare her favorite food to bring up.”

“Are you ordering me around?” Myra questioned.

“What’s wrong?” Scarlet adopted a superior attitude. “Cecilia is sick like this, and as a servant, shouldn’t you be taking care of the sick mistress?”

“Then why didn’t you go?” Myra retorted.

“I wanted to stay here and take care of Miss Cecilia!”

Myra stood her ground and coldly smiled. “Miss Cecilia hadn’t apologized to Miss Isabella today.”

“What were you talking about?”

“Mr Lisa said that until Miss Cecilia showed remorse, she wouldn’t have dinner tonight. If you wanted fever patches, you should have gotten them yourself. My duty was to stay here.”

“Myra, you were pushing it, weren’t you?” Scarlet suddenly became furious. “Who did you think you were?”

“I was just a humble servant.” Myra raised her gaze with dignity. “And so were you.”

“You…” Scarlet was seething with anger. “Just wait!”

Scarlet deliberately bumped into Myra’s shoulder as she left, and Myra, without hesitation, tripped her with her foot.

Scarlet nearly fell. “When Miss Cecilia wakes up, I will tell her everything that happened today!”

“Don’t act like you’re supporting Miss Cecilia as if she were some kind of princess!” Myra showed no fear and snorted before returning to guard the door.

A glimmer of murderous intent flashed in Scarlet’s eyes, but she chose to swallow her anger for the time being.

Time passed, and Scarlet heard footsteps outside before finally placing the fever patch on Cecilia’s forehead.

Upon hearing a knock on the door, Scarlet cried as she ran to open it. “Mr Lisa, you’ve finally come back! Miss Cecilia had the fever patch on for a long time, but her temperature still didn’t drop. I was apprehensive! Before she lost consciousness, she kept apologizing and saying she was wrong…”

Lisa looked at the girl lying unconscious on the bed, her face flushed like a ripe apple, and she didn’t seem to be pretending.

“Did you call a doctor?” Lisa asked.

Scarlet cried, “Myra wouldn’t even give me the fever patch. She gave me a hard time, and in the end, I had to get it myself… Forget about calling a doctor. Having this fever patch was already lucky enough!”

Standing at the door, Myra heard Scarlet distorting the truth and was about to retort.

Scarlet burst into even louder sobs. “Miss Cecilia was so sick, and no doctor cared for her. She hadn’t eaten a single meal since noon and had never suffered like this! Cecilia kept saying she was wrong. She wanted to wait for you to come back and apologize to you and Miss Isabella… But she didn’t make it to this point…”

Before Lisa could say anything, Scarlet suddenly knelt with a thud.

“Mr Lisa, I begged you, for the sake of our many years of relationship, please allow a doctor to come and treat Miss Cecilia. I was terrified for her life… She had been burning with fever for so long! Please let the kitchen make her a bowl of hot porridge. Please, I beg you…”
