What On Earth Did He See In Her
Her thoughts coming back to the present, Rosalie suppressed the strange feeling in her chest and
approached the three people in the manor. Estie had a fever right now, but her eyes were still bright.
When she saw Rosalie, her eyes seemed to sparkle as she stared intently at Rosalie.
Rosalie gave her a concerned look.
Estie immediately held out her hands for Rosalie.
The latter instinctively glanced at Byron.
Seriously, this little girl… She was sick, but she wanted a stranger to hold her over her father‘s
embrace.
Rosalie wondered what Byron would think. The man simply offered Estie to her calmly. Rosalie
hesitated for a second before taking the little girl from him. As soon as she held her, she could feel the
girl‘s warmth. Estie felt like a tiny heater in her arms.
Estie plastered her face against the pretty auntie‘s. Rosalie felt nice and cool, and Estie narrowed her
eyes happily. “Her fever‘s pretty high.” Rosalie held the little girl a bit tighter and asked her gently, “Do
you feel really bad, Estie?”
Estie nodded.
Rosalie saw that her eyes were slightly red from the fever, and her heart ached for the girl. She turned
to ask Mrs. Zora, “Has she taken her medicine?” Mrs. Zora finally returned to the present, nodding
hastily. “Yes, she has.” She then gave Rosalie a timid look. “When did you get back, Ma‘am?” She had
been staying with the Lawrences for some time, and she had served Rosalie for a while when the latter
married into the family too. Back then, she truly respected Rosalie.
She had even been somewhat surprised when she found out Rosalie had left without a word.
She never expected Rosalie to return.
The way she addressed her made Rosalie pause, but then she smiled and said, “I came back a while
ago, but please don‘t call me that anymore. It‘s been six years since I left the Lawrences.”
Mrs. Zora understood and said with feeling, “You haven‘t changed at all. And here I thought… It‘s
nothing. I‘ll make sure to remember next time.”
Rosalie nodded.
“Are you here… to visit the Little Lady?” Mrs. Zora asked again.
Rosalie explained, “I bumped into Byron at a patient‘s house. When I heard that Estie wasn‘t feeling
well, I dropped by to pay her a visit.”. Mrs. Zora‘s heart twisted in her chest, and she mumbled, “That‘s
good. I‘m sure the Little Lady will recover quickly if you‘re here.”
Rosalie was on a completely different page. She simply assumed that Mrs. Zora thought she could take
better care of Estie because she was a doctor and could treat illnesses, so she nodded with a smile.
“Don‘t worry. I‘ll help Estie however I can.”
Mrs. Zora could not help but feel a little surprised at that. The Madam was making it sound like she was
an outsider. The Little Lady was her daughter, and now that she was sick, shouldn‘t Ma‘am stay by her
side to take care of her? Besides, the Little Lady would feel better having her mother with her, and Mrs.
Zora knew how amazing a doctor Rosalie was. Back then, Rosalie was the one who treated her
whenever she had any headaches or fevers.
The Little Lady‘s fever should be nothing to her. Thinking back on the time Ma‘am stayed with them,
Mrs. Zora could not help but feel a wave of pity. Ma‘am was beautiful and capable, but she never put
up any airs around the servants. She had treated them like family.
Miss Fuller, on the other hand, would drop by every so often. Whenever the Master was not around,
she would behave like the mistress of the household, looking down on them and barking orders at
them. She barely treated them like human beings.
Who knew what the Master saw in her…
When Byron heard how Mrs. Zora addressed Rosalie, he felt disorientated for a second as well. When
Rosalia corrected her the very next second, he felt somewhat conflicted.
