"Paige was asleep in the lounge, but she was still alert. As soon as she heard the sound of Sophia's gulps and rapid breathing, she woke up, hurriedly got up to get dressed, and ran to Sophia's bedroom."
Sophia had been in critical condition for such a long time. Everyone knew what she was most worried about at this time. Paige dared not to be sloppy.
"The lighting of Sophia's bedroom was good. It was a little higher than the lounge. Hence, there was a small flight of stairs between Sophia's bedroom and the lounge."
"Paige hurried up the stairs. Just as she opened the curtain, a blow struck her."
"Ah! Paige screamed, and her whole body was pushed to the back by a hand. She was caught off guard, and it was deep into the night. As she was not young anymore, Paige fell down the stairs with such a push. She only felt great pain from her leg. Then, the back of her head hit the ground, and she immediately fainted."
"Liya was rummaging through the room for treasure when Sophia suddenly gasped for air. Soon after, she heard footsteps outside. She was panicking as she rummaged through the cabinet beside the door. She did not have time to escape through the window and knew that only Paige was outside the door, who was keeping watch. When Liya looked up, she saw that Paige's hand had lifted the door curtains. She was flustered and hurried over to push Paige down."
"Shortly, Liya heard Paige's scream along with the sound of her body falling to the ground. Liya became afraid and panicked. She was no longer in the mood to look for the treasure. Thus, she frantically ran to the window and escaped."
"After returning to the guest room, Liya was so alarmed that she could not sit still. She cocked her head to her side and kept an eye on what was happening outside."
"More than twenty minutes later, she heard someone shouting outside. Liya opened the window and listened quietly. She could vaguely hear the crying in the Ink Garden, and her heart was beating fast."
"When Belle was sleeping soundly, the doorbell of the guest room suddenly rang in the quiet night."
"She was so shocked that she rolled over and got up. It was still dark outside the window. Belle was in a daze, and her mind was still muddled."
"Madam, something bad happened. Madam Paige has passed out. Larry's voice rang from the outside, and she even sounded as if she were about to cry."
Paige had passed out? What was going on?
Belle was so shocked that she opened her eyes wide.
"The noise awakened Rosa too. She scrambled to her feet, and her eyes also widened."
"Both of them looked at each other inexplicably and came to their senses. They got up in a hurry, put on their clothes, and rushed to the lounge of the Ink Garden."
"Several servants in the Ink Garden were in a flurry. Larry and several servants in the Fragrance Garden were Paige's distant relatives. When they noticed she had fainted, her face was pale and was unconscious. They were so scared that they began to cry."
What's going on? Belle walked over and asked in a deep voice.
Madam fainted. Everyone heard her voice and immediately made way for her.
"Belle immediately saw Paige lying on the ground. She was in a daze and unconscious. Belle was stunned and quickly bent down to hold her shoulders. Belle cried out in pain, ""Mom, what happened to you?"""
What the h*ll is going on? Why is Aunt Paige lying on the ground for no reason? Rosa was also shocked when she saw the situation. She hurriedly asked the servant next to her.
"The servants were all frightened. They all shook their heads to show that they didn't know. They just answered, ""When we heard Larry's cry, we saw this when we rushed over. I guess Madam fell by accident."""
She fell down the stairs? Rosa frowned and looked at the stairwell in disbelief.
"Hurry up, help Madam to the bed first. Belle looked up and ordered the panic-stricken servants. Then, she ordered Larry, ""Larry, quickly inform Mr. Hudson."""
"Larry had always been a close servant of Paige. In addition to taking care of Jerry, she also followed Paige. She knew that it was Paige's turn to guard that night. So, she couldn't sleep well with the servants in the Ink Garden. Paige also had rheumatoid arthritis, and Larry had to bring hot water to her every night. However, she didn't expect to witness such a horrible situation when she walked in, which really shocked her."
Everyone carefully carried Paige to the bed.
"Hudson quickly rushed over. When he saw Paige lying on the bed, his head buzzed, and he almost fainted."
"Hudson was having severe headaches for the past few days. Paige felt sorry for him. So, she did not allow him to take the night watch shift and had insisted on replacing him. Who knew that such a situation would happen?"
"Dad, don't worry. Let's send her to the hospital first. Belle noticed that Hudson's complexion looked very pale, and she was worried about his health. Belle quickly comforted him with tears in her eyes."
