"That's right. Lady Lisa has been using all sorts of tricks to push Lucas and Ms. Lierger together. She's the mastermind behind today's incident too."
"Think of a way to inform Ms. Lierger!"
"Do you think that she's oblivious to all these? She isn't foolish…"
"Yeah. Since the situation is so complicated now, perhaps Ms. Lierger has her own grievances. Let's not intervene too much and just focus on protecting Randy and Venus."
"I know. You must take good care of Mr. Giblo and prevent him from finding out what's happening. If he asks about it, you must take note…"
"I understand."
After hanging up the call, Benard was filled with worry. At that moment, he was helpless to do anything. All he could do was to look after Zayn and wait for him to recover miraculously.
Meanwhile, the weather at Arkfield was gloomy and the temperature had dropped.
The rain from last night had not stopped, causing the courtyard to be covered in water.
Carla and the kids spent a leisurely morning in the library.
Randy read silently while Venus told a story to the three kids.
Reading on the sofa, Carla would glance at the children occasionally with an affectionate smile.
Sometimes, it was a kind of happiness to warm herself up by the fireplace, have a drink and do some reading.
"Sorry to bother you."
A familiar voice sounded as Lisa entered with her maids, who were pushing two trolleys filled with delicious pastries and drinks.
"Why are you here, Lady Lisa?" greeted Carla as she stood up.
"I heard that you're reading here, so I sent some pastries over." Sherly always had a friendly and courteous smile on her face. "Children, come here and take a look! Do you like these?"
The maids placed the pastries on the table.
Venus and the three little ones ran over immediately, overjoyed to see the exquisite pastries.
Although Randy did not have much of a reaction, he still placed his book down and greeted her politely.
"Thank you, Lady Lisa, " said Carla courteously.
"There's no need to be so polite around family, right?" replied Lisa with a laugh. "I like to do some reading too. Should I keep you company, children?"
"Yes!"
The children did not care who was keeping them company. Furthermore, since Lisa kept trying to appease them each day, they were not wary of her.
"I'll accompany the children, Carla. You should visit Lucas." Lisa held Carla's hand and said worriedly, "His cold worsened and he's having a fever. When I visited him just now, he was leaning against the sofa in a daze and calling your name."
"I visited him this morning and he seemed much better. Did he become worse?" Carla was a bit suspicious.
"Yeah! He even has a fever, " exclaimed Lisa worriedly.
"I'll go and take a look." Carla turned around and instructed the children, "Be good, darlings. Read here and don't run around, okay?"
"Okay!" Venus and the three kids answered in unison.
"Randy…" Carla was about to speak to Randy when he suddenly said, "Mommy, I'm going to attend online classes in my room after reading this book."
"Good boy." Carla stroked his head before shooting a look at Freda. "Keep an eye on the kids."
"Yes." Freda nodded.
Carla left with Rogan and two other female bodyguards, while the rest remained behind.
As Freda was even more careful and meticulous than Rogan, Carla instructed her to stay back and protect the children.
Upon reaching Lucas' room, Carla knocked on the door and entered. However, she bumped into Marianne feeding Lucas the medicine. "Lucas, you're having a fever, so you have to take your medicine. Please eat this…"
"I'll do it myself."
Just when Lucas was pushing Marianne's hand away, Carla walked into the room.
When he spotted her, he was so nervous that he lost control over his strength and shoved Marianne to the ground.
Her forehead crashed against the table with a loud thud.
