Chapter 214: The first encounter

Shortly after we were done, she then helped me into the wheelchair and took me out of my room.

As usual, we passed the bodyguards outside my room, and one accompanied Nurse Anne and me.

I noticed near my bedroom was another set of double doors, which looked like the entrance to another bedroom.

"Is that a bedroom?" I asked Anne.

"Yes, it’s Mr Acland’s room, ma’am," she informed. A disgusted expression formed on my face.

He was decent enough to give me my own room, but he was still too close to mine. Perhaps he wanted to keep a close eye on me.

As we made our way outside the estate, my eyes scanned the property, trying to get a good visual map of the place. The first thing that struck me was that there were so many cameras in almost every section. Keith had told me about this as a security measure. But this would be a problem if I tried to escape.

There were few staff and but multiple guards and bodyguards in different areas.

I took note of where the gate was located and how the estate grounds were, as Anne pushed me around.

We then stood in the middle of the garden, and I took in the warmth of the sun.

After about 10 minutes or so, one of the house servants came to Anne and me.

"Mrs Acland, Mr Acland would like to see you in a sitting room near your rooms," the servant informed me. I recalled I had to meet with him to discuss finding Tony.

Anne and I soon returned to the mansion. She put me in the sitting room, and I waited for him. When he walked in.

When my eyes met his, I couldn’t hide the frown on my face as he walked in.

"I heard you had an asthma attack this morning. Are you okay?" He asked me as he walked in.

"I’m fine," I told him through gritted teeth.

I then bit my lip as I told myself to try to speak civilly with him. This was for Tony. I reminded myself.

"You’re not going to work today?" I asked him. It was a Tuesday, and he had been at the estate the day before as well.

"I had to meet with the police this morning and give them a statement on your behalf," he told me. "But I will go later today," he explained as he sat down on the seat opposite mine.

My lips pressed into a thin line as I looked at him.

"I also received files from the police about your bodyguards in recent days", he informed me.
