Chapter 297: The Mysterious Man 9
Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Nanny Daisy hurried upstairs. She brought some food, looked at me, and said, “Finally, you are awake. Are you hungry? Mr. George called and said there was a delay in his return. But he knows that you were asleep, so he asked me to prepare some food for you. So you can have something to eat when you wake up.”
I slept for a few hours, so I started to feel a bit better. I looked at the sky outside, it was already dark, and the clock on the wall already pointed at one in the morning. I just woke up, so I didn’t have the appetite to eat yet. I looked at Nanny Daisy and said, “Daisy, put it down here first, I'll finish it later. It's getting late, you should get some rest.”
Nanny Daisy was an aged lady, so she felt a little sleepy this time of the night. But she did remind me to remember to eat before she went downstairs.
I was sitting on the bed, feeling a lot better - Then I couldn't help but regret it. I slept for such a long time, even it was nighttime now, it would be impossible to continue sleeping.
It meant that it would be another night of staying up for me.
The phone rang, and it was Dennis.
I picked up the phone, my voice softened a bit, “I just woke up.”
“lL know!” His voice was hoarse, but it sounded particularly nice. “Don’t forget to eat something, okay? Take it easy if you can’t sleep. I am here to keep you company and chat with you all night.”
I nodded, “Sounds great!”
“I may stay here for a few more days in Country M. Don’t forget to eat well at home. And don’t stay up late, okay? If you'd like, you can ask Alex to bring Clarie Bear over to keep you company.”
“Okay!”
“Uncle Link and Leo may not be in Newton Town these days. If you need anything, give Luis a call Luis.”
“Okay.”
Dennis, “...”
I wasn't very chatty usually. At that moment, Dennis suddenly went silent, and I couldn't find anything to talk about for a while.
After a full half-minute of silence, I thought about it and then said, “Try to be home early if possible.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone. It had been a while before Dennis spoke again, with a low voice, “Okay!”
There was nothing much to talk about over the phone anyway - I looked at the phone and was about to hang up
I didn’t expect the other side to suddenly say, “Don’t forget to think of me!”
I...
For a while, my heart was warmed. It seemed that such warmth was filling the whole heart.
‘I will miss you!”
I spoke and my voice subconsciously softened a bit.
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't fall asleep, so I went to the study room. It was another sleepless night. But I had slept a few hours during the day, so it felt fine to even stay overnight.
Nanny Daisy was a meticulous caregiver. She came to the villa early and made breakfast.
Seeing me go downstairs, with my clothes changed and my hair well done, she said after a brief hesitation, “Are you going out in a while?”
I nodded, “I have to go meet someone in a bit.”
“Do you need me to go with you?” She seemed worried about me. “The dark circles under your eyes are getting worse. You didn’t go back to sleep after you woke up in the middle of the night, did you?”
I answered her with an “Mhm.”, took a few bites of the breakfast, and then headed out.
I wasn’t planning to go out at first. But then Folly Lewis sent me a message saying that she had arrived in Newton Town and that since we were already friends, I should go and treat her with hospitality.
With her having said all that, I didn’t seem to have any reason to refuse her - So I agreed to meet her.
