"Madam. You can rest upstairs." Mammy Zhang sensed Janiya’s disgust for her from her eyes, so she stopped saying anything; turned to the kitchen to take medicine for her, so that she wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.
She sighed helplessly. She hated everything here. She just wanted to run away from this place and even this terrible city. She just wanted to live as an ordinary person.
But now, let alone make a living, even she didn’t sure whether she could walk out of the Nans family alive.
As she propped up the wall, walking past the closed door of the reading room, she glanced it from far away, as if there was magic that attracted her. She knew what this magic was--that was freedom which she had been longing for so long.
Inside the reading room, there must be Nigel's most important things. She had to get them as quickly as possible.
Her feet were not under her control anymore, and she gradually approached the door of that"forbidden area". Just as her hands touched the doorknob, Mammy Zhang's voice interrupted her next move. "Madam, the medicine is ready."
Janiya clenched her hands into a fist, she felt a twinge of regret. She almost sneaked in!
"Madam, why are you standing here? Just take the medicine. Then you'll be better." Mammy Zhang walked to her side, watching her pale face, urged again.
She looked at the drug in Mammy Zhang’s hand but pushed her away, "I won’t eat it. You are with him. Don't try to kill me." Then, she went upstairs and lay on her soft bed. After a short time, she fell asleep.
She had a dream. In the dream, she finally split the door of the house with an axe. When she was going to leave the house, she found Nigel standing outside the door and waiting for her. She struggled to wake up from the dream.
However, the moment she opened her eyes, she really saw Nigel's face. She screamed subconsciously, kicking him with her feet and shouting, "Ah--"
"Heh, Mammy Zhang. Is this what you said that she is dying?" Nigel originally sat on the bed, but was kicked away by her, which made him a little bit angry.
He was just talking with Viviana in the coffee shop when he received a phone call from Mammy Zhang. She tended to be over-dramatic. He thought she refused to take medicine even when she was dying. So he drove home hurriedly to check on her, who knew that she staged such a farce for him.
"I think she's in good shape and doesn't need to take medicine." Nigel patted her suit gently, looked at her and said.
"It has nothing to do with you whether I’m in good shape or not." Janiya finally calmed down but felt her stomach was starting to ache again. So she laid on the bed, muffled herself in the quilt, hunched her back; she seemed very uncomfortable.
"If you die in my house, then it's my business." Nigel took the medicine from Mammy Zhang's hand and sat next to her. He removed the quilt away and laid beside her ears, whispering,"Do you want to die so as to escape our contract? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. I give you two options, one is to take the medicine yourself, the other is let me feed you, but my way is very brutal."
Janiya raised her head and glanced at Nigel. When she noticed his peculiar look, she pushed him away, then grabbed the tablet from his hand, took the medicine with the mineral water in the glass. She got choked for she drank the water in one gulp, then she coughed, "You satisfied?"
Nigel got up from the bed and packed his clothes, then said to Janiya, "My parents will return to see you next week. You'd better learn the rules of etiquette within this week. I come from a family of academics, they have taught me to grow up to marry a virtuous and gentle woman since I was a child. You can be as casual as you can in front of me, but if you don’t follow the rules in front of my parents, you may loss out." With this, Nigel left her room.
The smell of perfume from Nigel still lingered in the air. She sat on the bed, recollecting what he had just said. Did he say that she needed to learn etiquette before next week?
Janiya fell to the bed, her legs kept patting on the mattress. It seemed that it wasn’t easy to be the wife of a wealthy man.
In the living room downstairs, Nigel was drinking black coffee and listening to Mammy Zhang’s elaboration of Janiya at home today. When Mammy Zhang said that Janiya wanted to break into the reading room, his eyebrows arched slightly, and then put down the coffee cup, instructed Mammy Zhang, "Next time when she wants to break into the reading room, just let her in."
"But didn’t you instruct that no one can enter the reading room?"Mammy Zhang listened to his instructions, and she was a little bit surprised. Because even Mammy Zhang herself couldn’t enter the reading room to clean up, instead he agreed to let Janiya in. She couldn’t see through Nigel anymore.
"Heh... the fox will only show its tail when it is up to something." Nigel stood up and said to Mammy Zhang, "Cook a few more dishes tonight. Later we’ll have some guests."
"Yes, Master Nigel." Though Mammy Zhang still didn't quite understand what Nigel meant, she guessed a little. But it was better not to ask the secret. After all, the fewer you knew, the more chance you had to survive.
Maybe it was because of the medicine, after a good sleep, Janiya felt no pain in her stomach. She got up from the bed and checked her smart phone. She got used to scroll through the text messages. She breathed a sigh of relief, there was no new texts. She didn't want to deal with these trouble when she was ill.
Someone knocked at the door gently, Janiya quickly threw the phone under the pillow, calming her panic and shouting to the people outside the door, "Come in."
The door was pushed open. It was Mammy Zhang. She stood at the door respectfully, saying, "Madam, the etiquette teacher has come downstairs. Please go downstairs to undergo your etiquette training. Make preparations for your meeting with the Master’s parents next week. "
Janiya sat on the bed and looked at Mammy Zhang seriously. Judging from her expression, Mammy Zhang was still indifferent and quite. It seemed she wasn’t joking.
Nigel just said that this morning. And they asked her to do it now? To have done that so quickly, it was amazing!
Janiya twitched her lips a little, and asked Mammy Zhang with a smirk, "I'm not feeling well today. Can I start tomorrow?"
"Is there anything still wrong with you? Would you like me to ask Master Nigel to come over here. If you are sick, we must take care of it without delay." After this, Mammy Zhang was going to leave and went for Nigel.
