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

So, both of them went downstairs reluctantly and waited at the living room. It was nerve-wracking.

Ryn, on the other hand, was busy wiping Jeremy's face and arms. She did not change his clothes at all, just unbuttoning a few buttons of his shirt.

”Why are you pushing yourself when you're sick?” she asked him worriedly but of course he could not answer her question. He was still unconscious.

When the doctor came, she quickly gave up her seat and hovered close as the doctor checked on Jeremy. She did not even notice she was twisting and pulling on the cloth she dip into the water. She did not even notice the wetness she just created on the fluffy carpet. Her attention was only on Jeremy and the doctor.

”How is he, doctor?” she quickly asked when it seemed like the checking was done.

”He is just too exhausted mentally and physically. And it seems like he always skipping his meals?” the doctor cocked an eyebrow at Ryn. He already asked the butler what happened to Jeremy and also his recent activity while climbing up the stairs. He could guess why Young Master Jeremy collapse suddenly. The stress from work and then this. And then, he knew about Jeremy's habit of skipping his meals. Jeremy did come to him for his stomach problem and when he asked, Jeremy admitted about this bad habit.

Jeremy did promise he would not skip anymore and even promise to prepare snacks in his office so he would eat even if he was too busy with his work.

It seemed like a promise was just words. The doctor would never believe in promise anymore, especially from Young Master Jeremy.

”He needs rest. I will prescribe for him and make sure he doesn't skip his meals again,” the doctor gave a warning look at Ryn. He could guess this woman in front of him who was the reason why Young Master Jeremy having too much stress. Why couldn't this woman just behave herself and not making Young Master Jeremy worried?

Hmph.

Ryn did not comment upon his rude behaviour. She was too worried about Jeremy to even care about this man's attitude. She signalled the butler to follow the doctor and prepare everything the doctor told him to. She herself sat back on her previous seat (on a chair next to his bed) and checked on him.

There was no changes in him. His body was still hot and he was still unconscious.

Ryn sighed. She returned back to wiping his face and arms, as well as replacing the warm towel with a  newly dipped cold water cloth.

Mika and Mei Li quickly approached the doctor when they saw him on the way to the door to leave the house. Just now when he came, they did not dare to approach, not wanting him to be distracted (and also did not dare to make Ryn angrier if they made the doctor late to check on Jeremy).

”How is it? How is my brother, doctor?” Mika asked hurriedly, now daring to block his way.

”Young Mistress Long, your brother is exhausted physically and mentally. I have given my prescription to your butler. Make sure he has a lot of rest and doesn't skip his meals again.”

”So he is not sick, right?”

He stiffed hearing Mei Li's question. ”Not sick?”

Mei Li gulped. She took a step back and tried to hide her body behind Mika. What... what did she say that make him angry?

”You think high fever is not sickness?” he muttered each word coldly.

Now even Mika took a few steps back. She even tried to push Mei Li to stand in front of her, protecting her from the doctor's wrath.

The doctor stormed toward them, wiggling his long skinny finger. His mouth kept throwing angry nags at them as he followed them. Each step back they took, he would step forward until they ended up almost hitting a maid on their way to escape from him.

Had the doctor gone mad for treating so many patients?

Mika and Mei Li clutched each other in horror. When they almost hit the maid, without thinking, they grabbed the maid and pushed the poor girl in front of them, blocking them from the angry doctor.

The maid cried and tried to escape but failed. She could only cry and beg the doctor to stop frightening her.

But the doctor was too furious to care.

The butler and the other maids could only watch in horror. Their feet glued on the floor. What... what was going on today? First, Miss Catherine locked herself in the room for hours and refused to talk to anyone except her own mother. Then, Young Master Jeremy collapsed. And now, the doctor they called to cure Young Master Jeremy seemed to be possessed and kept chasing after Young Mistress Mika and Miss Mei Li.

”Has... has this family being possessed by evil spirit? Should we call someone to exorcism the house?” one of the maids asked the butler.

The butler did not answer. He was busy trying to tell himself it was just a nightmare, not real. This was not happening at all. He was just having a nightmare, that's all. When he woke up in the morning, he would see that nothing like this actually happened.
