Chapter 68 All Females Look The Same

Rayna looked at the cart in confusion.

When did I order supper?

“Ms. Garland, this was prepared by that gentleman.” After the attendant entered the room, he placed the scrumptious dish and two medicine boxes on the table.

“Ms. Garland, this is to be administered to the wound. You are to use it in the morning and at night. This other one is to be consumed orally. He brought it back from Dartan to treat your vocal cords.”

The attendant was worried that Rayna did not understand him and unboxed the medicine. He squeezed it onto his hand to demonstrate to her. Then, he gently repeated which medicine was to be consumed or applied externally.

Rayna nodded and thanked the attendant by typing on her phone before sending him off.

She returned to look at the medicine on the table. Only Uncle Curtis knows I’m injured, so the attendant must have been referring to him, right?

Rayna pursed her lips and felt something warm seep into her heart.

The attendant left Rayna’s room. A tall man with young but icy facial features approached him in the corridor. He was wearing a black beanie and a leather jacket.

“Wait a moment.” James stopped in front of the attendant. His expression darkened as he used Anglandurn to ask, “Where’s the attendant who has been delivering food here previously?”

“He took leave due to family matters,” the attendant answered. A bead of sweat slid down his cheek due to James’ questioning. “The manager told me to replace him.”

The attendant felt slightly uneasy.

An Aplothian man had come to find him in the evening and gave him two thousand in Anglandurn currency and two boxes of medicine. He gave the attendant instructions to bring them to this room at night. The attendant was tempted by the money and accepted it.

“Is that so?” James played with the black wolf-shaped lighter with his fingers, making clinking sounds.

The attendant felt stressed by his light-hearted statement.

As the attendant debated whether to tell James the truth, Cillian slung his arm around James’ shoulder and patted it. He grinned. “Stop scaring him, James. He’s only delivering food. I saw it with my own eyes.”

He shot the attendant a look, and the latter immediately scurried off with the cart.

James turned around to look at the attendant’s retreating figure.

Cillian was perplexed upon seeing James’ actions. “It’s fine! I tried all the food already!”

“There’s only food?”

Cillian thought about it and suddenly recalled the medicine. “Oh, there are also two boxes of medicine, but I already inspected them. Don’t be so paranoid! We have such a strong defense. There’s no way there would be any incidents.”

James pushed Cillian’s hand away and leaned against the wall, saying, “We can only be more vigilant. We cannot let down our guards, as they did it right under our nose the last time.”

He felt frustrated upon thinking of that incident, as he always thought of himself as more exceptional than others. He never expected that the person Curtis brought would still get hurt under his watch.

James asked, “I heard her vocal cords are injured. Is she getting better?”

Cillian grinned. “No, when she spoke to me earlier, she was still typing on her phone. Ms. Garland asked for your name. Do you think she fell in love with you? She’s rather pretty. If you guys get together, it’s a great deal for you!”

“I don’t care about whether she is pretty or not.” James pursed his lips. Besides the two women back at home, every woman was the same to him, even Kristie.

“She’s gorgeous. You didn’t see her when she was in the pool just now?”

“No, I didn’t. Also, I’m not interested,” James replied flatly.
