Chapter 7: Humiliation
Olivia's POV
"What?" my mother yelled in an outburst. "There are many servants in the pack house! Why must it be Olivia? My daughter just came out of unconsciousness; she almost died!" Mother said angrily to Levi's personal guard, who had just walked into my room, saying Anita and the triplets needed me to get them a bottle of water.
As my mother fumed with anger, I sighed inwardly. I knew this was Anita's doing, But today had already been exhausting, and the last thing I wanted was to create more trouble.
"Mother, let me just go. I will be back soon," I said softly and tried leaving the bed, but my mother stopped me.
"No, Olivia. I will go instead," she requested, but I shook my head against it.
"Please, Mother, I don't want to get them more annoyed. Let me go. I will be back soon," I assured her before pushing myself off the bed.
My whole body racked with pain from the effect of the pepper that had been applied to my skin and kneeling under the sun. I felt like collapsing, but I inhaled deeply and forced my foot to move.
As I left the room, I could see the pain and anger in my mother's eyes, and I knew at this moment she wished she could do something to help. But unfortunately, she couldn't.
I walked into the kitchen, took out four bottles of water, and placed them on a tray before making my way to the triplets' wing.
Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door.
"Come in," Anita's authoritative voice spoke.
I pushed the door open, only for my stomach to drop at the sight before me.
