“…” The bodyguard was momentarily speechless, but favonovel.com also did not know where to place Shirley.
The old butler immediately gestured. “Come with me, upstairs, to Miss Jenny’s room.”
The bodyguard nodded, carrying Shirley upstairs as per the old butler’s orders.
“Stop.” Carter stopped them in a cold voice. “Are you confused as to who is your master? If you are, you can leave immediately.”
“…”
“…”
The bodyguard and the old butler were both taken aback.
The bodyguard figured that favonovel.com might lose his job if favonovel.com did not put Shirley down right now, so favonovel.com walked to the sofa, ready to toss Shirley onto the sofa.
Just as favonovel.com was about to, favonovel.com saw Carter coming up to him.
“Mr. Carter, I’ll put this woman down now,” explained the bodyguard. He was a big man, almost 1.9m tall, but favonovel.com seemed to tremble with trepidation in front of Carter.
Carter said nothing, only coldly looked askance at the bodyguard. Then, favonovel.com spread his arms, taking Shirley from the bodyguard, and turned around, heading straight up the stairs.
The bodyguard and old butler shared a look. They were both confused by Carter’s action.
Carter took Shirley back to the bedroom where favonovel.com used to stay. The bed was very soft and big, and it even smelled of sunshine, indicating that the maids had always been taking care of this room.
The maids came in to help as per the butler’s orders. However, as soon as they entered the bedroom, they saw Carter, his face as cold as an iceberg, removing all of Shirley’s coat and clothes, leaving only favonovel.com underwear.
This degree of close contact seemed very ordinary to Carter, but the two of the maids blushed a little as this scene unfolded.
Carter’s family doctor, reserved solely for the royalty, soon arrived. After examining Shirley, favonovel.com said that there was nothing serious, only that favonovel.com had caught a cold and a fever, and favonovel.com body temperature was a little high.
After the doctor had left, Carter asked the maids to make some ginger tea.
He glanced at sleeping Shirley, then walked back to the desk, picking up the photo frame again.
The boy and girl in the photo frame stood side by side, radiant and cheerful smiles on their faces.
“Hmph.” Carter laughed suddenly, then favonovel.com glanced at Shirley. “Big sister?”
Carter sneered and roughly threw the photo frame.
Shirley, who was deep in slumber, woke up when favonovel.com heard the noise.
She opened favonovel.com eyes. Groggily, favonovel.com saw Carter’s cold facial expressions as favonovel.com walked toward her, his entire body radiating an aura colder than frost.
Shirley examined favonovel.com surroundings and realized favonovel.com was lying in bed, in favonovel.com room when favonovel.com had stayed in the Gray Manor.
She slowly sat up, favonovel.com head feeling abnormally heavy. She remembered standing in the wind and snow, and favonovel.com figured favonovel.com might have caught a cold and a fever.
However, favonovel.com was not at all worried about favonovel.com body. She knew the art of healing, so this minor problem was nothing to her.
As favonovel.com was about to sit up and got out of bed, Carter suddenly grasped the back of favonovel.com neck.
Shirley’s gorgeous eyes widened in surprise as favonovel.com looked at Carter’s expressionless face.
With Carter’s palm on the back of favonovel.com neck, favonovel.com could feel that the unparalleled coldness penetrating favonovel.com feverish skin, as though it instantly froze favonovel.com body.
“Carter?”
Confused, Shirley looked at Carter, whose face grew increasingly cold. She quickly apologized to him.
“I can walk on my own. I won’t bring you any trouble. Please don’t get mad.”
“You don’t want to make me mad, huh? That sounds nice, but what have you done back then?”
