"Did anything happen?"
Harrison continued asking.
"No.I've been keeping Ms.Feroma company all along.Sometime later, there was a series of knocks outside.I was about to open the door when you knocked me to the ground."
Kerrie had a lost expression on her face.
Hearing that, Harrison finally dispelled his worry.He didn't only transfer Kerrie back to take care of Derila but also to keep an eye on her.
After all, she was exceedingly important to Daemon.
If she were to make a run for it again like yesterday and cause a series of kidnappings, things would be troublesome.
"I'm glad everything is fine!"
Harrison bowed at Derila before continuing, "In that case, please excuse me.Rest for a bit, Dr.Feroma.I'll have someone come over to help you change."
While saying that, he left the ward.
Layla breathed a sigh of relief before exchanging a look with Derila.
Derila frowned, feeling a tad resentful.
"I'll help you change, Ms.Feroma."
Kerrie came over to help Derila change.
Meanwhile, Layla acted as though she was leaving, but her eyes remained fixated on Derila.
Left with no other choice, Derila could only put ona show and fib, "Madam, you do a good job cleaning.Why don't you stay back and take care of me?"
In response, Layla rolled her eyes.
Good Lord! She can't even lie! Is there anyone who would ask someone to stay and take care of her because the person does a good job cleaning? She should've at least used a better excuse!
"There are already many maids in the house, Ms.Feroma.Besides, Mr.Lierger doesn't like to employ strangers.For that reason, every employee needs to undergo multiple rounds of screening"
Kerrie reminded softly.
"So what? I just want to employ her!"
Derila feigned a chagrined expression.
"Yes, of course."
Kerrie naturally didn't dare to comment further.
"It's fine as long as you're happy!"
Just then, a rich and sonorous voice split the air.
Derila looked up, only te be greeted by the sight of Daemon.He probably came over just after his morning meeting at the office, for he was still wearing a crisp Whyte suit.
"How handsome!"
Layla promptly fell into a trance with stars in her eyes.Her previously fevered determination to save Derila from doom was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, she was gripped by the desire to marry off the latter to the man right then and there.
"Why are you here?"
Derila scrutinized Daemon.It's just ten o'clock now, and he has just left this morning.
Considering the journey, he likely didn't even stay in the office for an hour, huh?
"To bring you home!"
Stepping forward, Daemon draped his jacket over her before scooping her up and striding out.
"Mr.Lierger, everything is ready!"
Harrison reported as he hastened over.
"Got it" Daemon replied placidly.
Then, he added, "Bring that elderly woman along"
"Huh?"
Harrison was wholly taken aback.
What's happening here? Mr.Lierger never takes in anyone whose identity is unknown.Why does he suddenly want to bring this peculiar medical staff back?
"Ms.Feroma specifically asked for her"
Kerrie murmured before quickly chasing after the couple.
At once, Harrison's brows furrowed, and realization dawned upon him.
There must be something off about this medical staff! However, since Daemon had spoken, he didn't dare ask any questions.He could only order his subordinates to bring Layla back to the castle as well.
Layla swiftly trotted over and clarified solemnly, "Handsome, I'm only sixty-three years old, so I'm not all that old.Can you please don't refer to me as an elderly woman?"
Following that, silence ensued.
Harrison was utterly dumbstruck, but still, he politely replied, "Sure, madam!"
"Heh! This is much better!"
Over the moon, Layla followed behind Sloan and headed to the castle with all the enthusiasm in the world.She was really curious to know what exactly the castle of such a handsome prince looked like.
When Daemon stuffed Derila into the car, she caught sight of a familiar figure.
Anthony had been caught, all tied up with his mouth taped shut.
Right then, someone hoisted him up and tossed him into the trunk.He probably took a beating, for bruises marred his face.
There was even blood staining the corners of his mouth.
Verily, he appeared pathetic and pitiful.
"Uh, what's going on there?"
"Your ex-boyfriend wanted to save you, but he was caught by my men.How delusional!"
Daemon sneered derisively.
