After cooking some pear stew and pasta, Carla brought them to Lucas' room. "Since you didn't eat dinner, I cooked some pasta for you. Come and try it!"
"You're amazing, Carla." Lucas was extremely touched.
"I don't know if you like it or not." Carla passed him the cutlery before pouring a bowl of pear stew for him. "I prepared quite a lot of pear stew and kept them in a thermal flask. If you'd like to drink it at night, you can pour them into a bowl."
"You're so thoughtful!" After devouring the pasta, Lucas exclaimed, "This is the yummiest food I've ever eaten. "
"It's just a normal plate of pasta, " said Carla with a smile. "Since you caught a cold, your stomach will feel much better after eating something warm."
"Yeah! I feel so comfortable now as if my cold has been cured… Achoo!"
Before Lucas finished his sentence, he sneezed again.
"How can you get well so quickly?" Carla was amused. "Sam is still brewing the herbal concoction and will bring it to you later. After drinking it, you should rest early. You'll probably feel much better tomorrow."
With that, she stood up and prepared to leave.
"Carla!" Lucas quickly pulled her back. "Are you leaving? Can't you stay here and keep me company?"
"You should rest." Carla gazed at him gently. "I'll disturb you if I'm here."
"You won't…" Lucas grabbed her hand, unwilling to let go. "I want to look at you."
"You can look at me tomorrow." Carla tugged her hand away. "Rest early, okay?"
Then, she left the room directly.
Lucas gazed at her as she left, feeling a wave of disappointment in him. He initially thought that she was treating him nicely because she was starting to fall for him. However, upon closer introspection, he figured out that she was probably just showing concern for a friend.
Although there might be some elements of gratitude in it, love was definitely not a factor…
Lucas heaved a deep sigh before smiling again. It's fine! As long as I persevere, I'll be able to move her, no matter how emotionless she might be.
When Carla left the room, she saw a figure escaping rapidly.
That figure was Lisa's maid.
Carla frowned. She knew that Lisa had been spying on them secretly out of concern for how her relationship with Lucas was progressing.
"Carla!"
At that moment, Sam walked over with the herbal concoction, with Marianne and the two maids following him.
"Is the herbal concoction ready?" asked Carla with a smile.
"Yeah." Sam nodded. "He has to drink it once tonight, and a few more days after that."
"You can just pass it to them. Go and rest soon!" said Carla with concern. "You have to wake up tomorrow and prepare the medicine with Dr. Feroma."
"It's fine! It won't take much time, anyway, " replied Sam. "I need to remind Sir Lucas about some things to take note of. Oh, right. He understands Chanaean, right?"
"Yes, he does." Carla nodded. "Sleep early after doing that."
"Okay." Sam walked up the stairs with the medicine.
Just when Carla was about to return to her room to rest, Marianne asked carefully, "Ms. Lierger, aren't you going to keep Lucas company?"
"He can rest after taking his medicine."
Avoiding the question, Carla left without sparing a glance.
Marianne did not dare to say anything either. After Carla left, she raised her head and followed behind Sam.
"Ms. Lierger is so cold toward Sir Lucas, " whispered the maid in Ferropenian.
"Shh! Don't spout nonsense, " remind Marianne softly before knocking on Lucas' door.
Sam brought the herbal concoction in, placed it down and left after saying something to Lucas.
As the medicine was bitter, Marianne ordered the maids to ask for some candies from Sam. The maids quickly followed her orders.
Only Marianne and Lucas were left in the room.
Under the dim lighting, an ambiguous look flashed across Marianne's eyes as she stared at Lucas lovingly. "Lucas, let me help you to the bed."
