Chapter 207: Haunted
“Master Zak...he...” the old maid hesitated to answer as she finally realized that Zak’s condition was a secret.
This secret that was so well kept under wraps by Zak’s mother had been successfully hidden over the years from even her brothers, Lucien, and Edward. However, I wasn’t sure how long we could keep this hidden now that Edward had sensed that something could be amiss.
“Well, I don’t care what is wrong with him. If he’s sick, then you call the doctor or take him to the hospital. Natalia isn’t feeling well so I’m taking her to bed,” Edward said with annoyance as he waved the maid off like she was a dirty fly.
“Miss Natalia...” the maid called my name softly, clearly shock at this unprecedented development.
“Edward, I think I should go see Zak. I feel quite ok now so there’s no need for you to...” I said as calmly as possible.
“Then I’ll go too. That’s fine, right?” Edward suggested as he flashed me an innocent smile. I hated that smile. He definitely knows that something is going on.
“...Yes. It is fine. Please follow me,” the old maid said in a tight voice that surprised me.
How bad must the situation be for the old maid to sacrifice exposing this secret to Edward just to get me to arrive at the scene faster.
“Ok...” was all that I could say in a hushed whisper.
