His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 187

"Hello, Mr. Jacobson. This is the housekeeper taking care of Ms. Yates. She hasn't been in good spirits since yesterday. I'm not sure what happened, but she didn't eat dinner last night or breakfast this morning.

"When I went to check on her just now, her face was pale, and she had dark circles under her eyes like she hadn't slept all night."

Stephen fell silent for a moment before saying in a strained voice, "Try to get her to eat something."

"I made all her favorite dishes. She said she'd come down to eat after taking a shower." The housekeeper paused before adding, "But she really doesn't look well. Are you coming over to check on her?"

Stephen's lips pressed into a thin line. His voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "No... Someone's coming to take her home today."

"Oh, alright then."

...

After her shower, Tessa went downstairs.

The housekeeper brought the food to the table. "Ms. Yates, these are all your favorite dishes. You must be starving since you didn't eat last night or this morning. Please eat more."

"Thank you." Tessa had little energy, her eyelids heavy from severe sleep deprivation, and her head throbbed with pain.

"Go ahead and eat. I'll be in the kitchen cleaning up."

She looked at the steaming, fragrant dishes spread out on the table, yet she had no appetite.

She sipped a few spoonfuls of soup, then picked up her phone to check her WhatsApp. There was still nothing from Stephen.

The housekeeper had mentioned that Stephen had specifically instructed her to take good care of Tessa and to report any issues to him immediately.

By now, he should know how she was doing, right? So why was there still no word from him?

Did he really... not care anymore?

She lowered her eyes, and a bitter ache spread in her chest.
