Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door, and the door opened to reveal Avril. She bowed politely at Charlotte
and said, “Ms. Lindberg, please rest here tonight. If there is anything you need, I can bring it to you.”
“Huh?” Charlotte stiffened for a moment before a frown grew on her brows. “What are you talking about? How can
I rest here? This is Louis’ room.”
“Lady Sherlyn has said that Sir Louis has been calling out your name in his feverish dreams. With you here by his
side, he’ll be able to recover quicker.”
As Avril spoke, she motioned at Diana.
Diana immediately brought a blanket over and placed it beside Louis before putting down a pillow as well.
Charlotte was stunned into silence. This is too much. She’s actually making plans on my behalf without bothering to
hide it now.
Right as she was about to explode into an angry outburst, her eyes swept past Diana, and she was reminded about
that clue.

Hence, she said, “Okay. I’ll keep Louis company here tonight. However, I’ll need someone to stay here. After all, I’m
not used to taking care of others. If there’s anything he needs, it’ll be better to have someone else help him with
it.”
“Of course,” Avril replied. “I’ll be staying here to await your instructions.”
“Let Diana stay instead,” Charlotte said nonchalantly. “She’s the one who usually takes care of Louis, so she’ll know
him better.”
“But…” Avril glanced at Diana.
“Ms. Avril, I can do this.” Diana was more than willing to do it.
“Well, all right then,” Avril relented. “Take good care of Sir Louis and Ms. Lindberg. Feel free to come to me if
anything happens.”
“Of course. Don’t worry.” Diana nodded fervently.
“Ms. Lindberg, I’ll excuse myself now. Please let Diana know if you need anything.”
With a bow, Avril moved to exit the room.
Once she was gone, Charlotte walked to the doorway and said to Lupine and Morgan, “I’ll be staying with Louis

tonight, so you guys should go and rest.”
“Huh?” Lupine and the others were confused.
Morgan whispered, “Did they force you to do this? Don’t worry. At most, we’ll have a falling out with them.”
“No, it’s not that,” Charlotte replied. “Go and rest. Get your energy back. If anything happens, I’ll give you guys a
call.”
“Ms. Lindberg…”
“Okay.”
Morgan was about to say more, but Lupine stopped her.
Lupine then handed Charlotte’s bag to her before pulling Morgan and the others away.
After Charlotte closed the door and went back into the room, she switched on the wall lights.
At that moment, Diana was standing by the side of the bed, watching Louis with indecipherable emotions in her
eyes. When she noticed Charlotte’s returned, she quickly averted her gaze and said, “Ms. Lindberg, is there

anything you need help with?”
“Fill a bucket of water to give Louis a wipe down.”
Charlotte then moved to sit on the couch and sipped on some tea.
“Understood.” Diana hurried away to fill a bucket of warm water. After squeezing the towel, she tentatively handed
it to Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg…”
“Did I ask you to stay so that you can watch me work?” Charlotte raised a brow.
“I’m sorry!” Diana squeaked before she started wiping Louis’ body with utmost care.
Charlotte paused in her tea-drinking motion as she silently studied Diana. The woman was being extremely gentle
with Louis as if he was a morning dew that would fall off its leaf if she were any rougher.
Despite being deep in his sleep, Louis could sense someone cleaning him. Subconsciously, he muttered,
“Charlotte… Charlotte…”
Then, he reached out to grab Diana’s hand and pulled it toward him.
Diana was startled, and she nervously peeked at Charlotte before prying Louis’ hand off hers. At the same time, she
murmured, “Louis, you’ve gotten the wrong person. I’m Diana, not Ms. Lindberg.”
Then, like a frightened rabbit, she retreated to the side, not daring to go near Louis anymore.
