Contrary to their expectations, Tillie readily agreed.
Given how close they were, Sigrith went off without giving it much thought.
With that, only Tillie and Sabrina were left in the ward. Being her usual outspoken self, Sabrina did
whatever she wanted. As for Tillie, she quickly peeled fruits for Sabrina instead.
“Ms. Sabrina, I’ll peel an apple for you. I heard they’re good for the baby.”
“Well, don’t listen to that nonsense.”
Considering it was her second baby, Sabrina didn’t care much about hearsay.
In spite of that, Tillie lowered her head and began to peel the apple earnestly.
“If it’s good for the child, you should have more of it. Ms. Sabrina, can I spend more time with you next
time? I can prepare whatever you like to eat for you. If there’s any fruit that you’re craving for, I’ll buy it for
you too.”
“Huh?”
Caught by surprise, Sabrina turned to looked at Tillie.
Spend more time with me? Prepare food for me? Isn’t she being over-friendly?
Sabrina no longer had any intention to consume the fruit.
“Mrs. Cooper, what are you…”
“Huh?” Finally, Tillie regained her senses.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Ms. Sabrina. I-I have just disciplined the Cooper sisters, causing them to be upset with
me. Hence, I don’t feel like going home during the day and only want to hide…”
After mumbling through her explanation, her nervous face blushed again.
Sabrina was stunned.
So that’s the reason. It does make sense as the Cooper sisters are not to be trifled with.
Realizing the situation, Sabrina readily agreed.
“All right then. You are welcome to come every day, but there’s no need to prepare any food. Just stay
and chat with me.”
“Oh… I-I can’t do that. I have to eat too. I-I’ll prepare some food and bring it over so that both of us can
eat together, all right? By the way, I heard Mabel mention that you used to run Hayes Corporation.
Considering what a large corporation it is, you must be really capable of doing so. Thus, I hope you can
teach me a thing or two about managing the Cooper family.”
After rejecting Sabrina’s suggestion with a reddened face, she revealed her other intention in a fumbling
manner.
Flattered by Tillie’s words, Sabrina naturally agreed to her request.
From that day onward, Tillie would visit Sabrina at the hospital every day. Just as she promised, she
would bring along a scrumptious meal every time.
It usually consisted of soup, delicious dishes, and fresh fruits.
Initially, Grayson had instructed Sabrina to be monitored in the hospital for half a month. However, in less
than ten days, not only were there no problems with her examinations, but she also put on quite a bit of
weight.
When the news reached Moranta, Devin was delighted.
“It seems Edmund’s new wife really knows how to care for someone. All the credit for Sabrina’s speedy
recovery goes to her.”
“That’s impressive! Does she have knowledge in this field?” Sasha casually asked while packing her
luggage.
Devin replied, “She does. Every day, she would boil soup with added herbs. Sabrina mentioned that she
knows TCM.”
Sasha questioned, “What did you say?”
When she looked up abruptly, Devin was taken aback.
Luckily, Sebastian was just beside them. He walked right over when he noticed her strange reaction.
“Devin, please let Mr. Milken know that we will be going back first.”
“Sure.”
After he sent Devin away, Sebastian came up to Sasha.
“What’s wrong? What did you think of just now?”
“Hmm, I suddenly recalled the day Sabrina got into trouble. Didn’t the maid mention that Tillie came over
to Red Pavilion on the same day? Coincidentally, there was something wrong with the soup when she
was there,” Sasha remarked with a frown.
Indeed, the maid did raise the matter to her on that fateful day.
Moreover, Sasha also remembered something else. She had given Sabrina only ten grams of almonds
for Jaena’s cough.
Even if Jaena didn’t finish it, could that ten grams have caused a pregnant lady so much harm?
The more she thought about it, the gloomier her expression became. In fact, she felt the urge to make a
call right away.
Sensing what she was about to do, Sebastian quickly stopped her.
“Wait, now that Sabrina is fine, it means that she is safe. Why don’t we go back at once and see for
ourselves if something fishy is really going on.”
“You’re right.”
In the end, Sasha took Sebastian’s advice.
That day, all of them returned to the country after being away for more than half a month.
Sabrina was delighted when she heard it. When she received Devin’s call in the ward, she asked him to
visit, to which he readily agreed.
Still, Tillie, who was sitting by Sabrina’s side, was so unnerved by the news of Devin and his family’s
arrival that her expression changed drastically.
“Ms. Sabrina, s-since Mr. Jadeson is back, I’ll take my leave.”
“Why are you leaving? I am planning to sing your praises in front of my husband. This time, it’s all thanks
to you. Why don’t you stay and join us for dinner?”
“But…”
Tillie wanted to decline, but Sabrina was a lot more persistent than she was.
Not only did she have Tillie stay, but she also forced Tillie to call Edmund and invite him to dinner
together.
Tillie was rendered speechless.
But in the end, she braced herself and gave him a call still.
