Chapter 136 Who was the woman in front of them right now? (1/2)

Ryn was just concluding her talk with her mother, saying goodbyes with each other, when she heard a loud shriek and even yelling coming from outside the room. She closed her eyes, trying to turn her ears deaf but one word made her eyes popped open in shock.

”Jeremy!”

Without thinking she rushed to open the door and saw a male servant was holding an unconscious Jeremy. Her face paled seeing him looking so sick.

”What is wrong with Jeremy?” she asked when nobody even bothered to look at her or explain.

”Young Master suddenly faints. I will call the doctor,” the butler quickly. He led the way for the servants to help bringing the unconscious Jeremy to his room. At the same time, he looked for the number of the resident doctor. Once he found it, he quickly called the doctor.

”How could he faint all of a sudden?” Ryn was unsatisfied with the way the butler answering the question. She looked at the others, waiting for their answer.

No one answered her question.

The maids were still shocked. Mei Li and Mika were following behind the servants in panic.

What would happen now? Jeremy was the anchor in the family. If he was not there to lead them, who would?

Ryn followed behind them. She was worried seeing that despite the noisy noise and even the struggle, Jeremy did not even stir. Had he been hiding his sickness?

She watched as the servants placing Jeremy on his bed carefully. Then, without thinking, she ordered a maid to bring cold water and two clothes. Another maid was told to bring a glass of water just in case Jeremy regain his consciousness. She also shooed the servants away and pulled the blanket to cover Jeremy.

When the maid came with a bucket of cold water and the clothes, Ryn took the cloth to dip into the water, squeeze it as hard as she could and then placed the folded cloth on Jeremy's forehead. His body was burning and it made her worried sick.

”When will the doctor come?” she asked the butler coldly despite the hoarse voice.

”He is on the way. Should... What should we do now?” the butler asked her worriedly.

Ryn did not answer. She was busy replacing the already warm cloth to another dipped cloth. Then, she noticed something.

”Has he eaten anything after breakfast?”

”I... I am not sure, young miss.”

”Go and find out. If he hasn't, tell the cook to prepare porridge for him. Lighter is better.”

”Yes, young miss.”

The butler quickly urged the others to leave the room. Honestly, he was a bit scared seeing Miss Catherine's temper. She almost made him thinking about Old Madam Long when she was angry at them. Better get away from her quickly. He also did not forget to close the door.

Mika and Mei Li were blinking their eyes all the time seeing how Ryn taking over everything.

What was going on right now? Who was the woman in front of them right now?

Ryn did not even register their presence. Her attention was fully on Jeremy. She even wiped his face and arms with the wet cloth.

”What should we do?” Mei Li whispered.

”I don't know...” Mika replied. Her eyes were still glued at Ryn. Was this Ryn she knew?

No. Most importantly, has Ryn forgiven them? Was she no longer angry at them?

She was about to approach Ryn but Mei Li held her hand. Mei Li shook her head, signalling her to follow out of the room.

”Why didn't you let me talk to her?” Mika asked once they were out of the room and Mei Li closed the door carefully.

”We can ask her later. Just let the two of them together.”

Mika wanted to argue but thinking about how long Ryn has been locking herself in the room and now she finally out of that 'jail', Mika changed her mind. If she asked her now, Ryn might remember back her dissatisfaction and lock herself again. They might not be able to coax her again if she gets mad again.
