CHAPTER 235: CHAPTER 234: DO NOT CONTRADICT MISS SMITH

Asher Land felt a sudden tension in his heart upon hearing Nanny Garcia’s words.

"39 degrees? How is she now?"

"Sigh, young master, you should go see for yourself. Miss Irene’s health is very weak, and she hasn’t eaten anything these past few days..."

Before Nanny Garcia could finish, Asher quickly headed upstairs.

Sophie Smith watched his rapidly retreating back with a bitter smile on her lips.

In his heart, who was more important between her and Irene Morton, she already knew the answer.

"Irene?" Asher knocked twice on the door, not barging in directly.

Actually, in front of many people, he came across as a gentleman, but somehow, in front of Sophie Smith, he transformed into a wolf.

"Irene, may I come in?"

Inside the room, Irene Morton heard Asher’s voice. She dragged her weary steps off the bed and opened the door.

"How could you be so careless? You were fine the day before yesterday. I just leave for two days and you have a fever up to 39 degrees?" Asher reached out to touch her forehead; sure enough, it was burning hot.

Irene Morton’s lips were devoid of color, and her entire face was startlingly pale.

"Anyway, no matter what happens to me, Brother Asher, you wouldn’t care. The only one you care about is Sister Sophie." After saying this, Irene turned her back on him, appearing to sulk, and lay back on the bed.

Is this girl jealous?

He shook his head helplessly and stepped forward.

"Both of you are equally important to me, don’t let your mind wander."

"How could we be equally important?" Irene’s voice was somewhat whimpering, "You are a thousand, ten thousand times better to Sister Sophie than you are to me!"

Irene’s words were a bit childish, causing Asher to chuckle helplessly.

Sophie Smith had just reached upstairs, ready to check on Irene, but unexpectedly heard what Irene had just said.

She saw Asher standing by Irene’s bed, seemingly explaining something.

After some thought, she decided not to enter.

Indeed, Asher spoke a lot to Irene, advising her not to overthink, but she continued to sulk with him.

"Alright, since you don’t want to listen to what I have to say, I’ll leave you to rest."

After finishing, Asher turned and walked out, gently closing the door behind him.

Upon hearing the door close, Irene angrily sat up from the bed and threw the pillow onto the floor.

These days, even a little comfort from Brother Asher feels so perfunctory.

She admitted, at first seeing Sophie by his side didn’t make her so angry because she assumed Sophie wouldn’t stay with Asher for long. Who would have thought that after so long, his affection for Sophie only increased.

The servants all respected Sophie greatly, treating her like the mistress of the Land Family, addressing her as Miss Smith here, Miss Smith there.

The servants all said there was one rule in the Land Family that must be followed: never contradict Miss Smith.

Ha, as for who made this rule, it was obvious without thinking.

A few days ago, she wanted to go to the amusement park with him, but he said he was busy with work and couldn’t accompany her. Yet, unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, after receiving a strange call from S City, he immediately took a night flight to rush over.

He wasn’t even sure if the woman in danger was Sophie, yet he ran off like that.

This made her feel unbalanced. She couldn’t bear to see him so distracted over another woman.

So that night, in ten-degree weather, she took two hours of cold showers, causing herself to have a fever of 39 degrees, ...
