Chapter 0044
Violet walked past them softly. When she opened the door, she did it cautiously. Since she was paying attention
to her own movements, she did not notice that Lucius was looking at her coldly.
“Lucius...” His new flmurmured. She spoke slowly, and it sounded really seductive, but Lucius was not in
the mood. He shoved her away and left without another word.
The new flame’s face was still flushed, but at that moment, resentment bloomed in her eyes.
It was midnight. Violet was sleeping soundly when someone knocked on the door and woke her up. Thinking
that she was dreaming, she turned around, only to hear a servant calling her from outside. “Madam, Mr.
George has summoned you to Master Lucius’s bedroom!”
The knocking grew louder. If Violet did not open the door, the servant might actually kick it down. With her
eyes still bleary with sleep, Violet got up and opened the door. “What is it?”

“Mr. George said you'll know once you get there.”
Violet was practically dragged over. When she reached Lucius’s bedroom, she saw him leaning over the bed
and puking. The light was dim, but she could still see that his face was pale.
George's worry grew. When he saw Violet, he asked anxiously. “What did you put in Master Lucius’s food?!”
Violet was still sleepy, so she could not figure out what had caused Lucius to puke. Before she could make
heads or tails of the situation, Lucius finished throwing up. He picked up a glass of water and rinsed his
mouth.
Then, he looked at her coldly.
“I just used the ingredients in the kitchen.” Violet looked at him innocently. Once she realized that her words
were really ambiguous, she added, “I didn’t add anything else!”
“Send the food in the kitchen for testing. If you did cause this, | won't let you off!” Lucius ordered, and he
practically spat out his last word to show that there would be hell to pay if Violet was truly responsible.
George left. Then, a doctor cin.
The doctor asked a few specific questions. When he heard that Lucius ate ten dishes’ worth of food, he
frowned. “Master, you're just suffering from indigestion.”
“Pfft.” Violet snickered. He had indigestion? And here they were acting as if Lucius was about to die, which would
lead to Imperial Enterprises going bankrupt.
Lucius looked like he had just sucked on a lemon. He glared at Violet with a dark expression, and Violet hunched
her shoulders. Once she remembered her status in Imperial Palace, she tried her best not to laugh
and bowed her head to pretend to be a good girl.
The doctor gave Lucius sdigestion pills.
“You'll need someone to keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t get a fever at night.”

“I'll do it.” Lucius’s new flhad gotten word of him being sick and hurried over. She wanted to take up the
task, so Violet stretched and turned to leave.
“She'll do it.” Lucius gestured at Violet.
“Me?” Violet's jaw fell slack, and she pointed at herself in disbelief. Why would he pick her when there were so
many other options available? “Why me?”
“You're the reason why | ended up like this. Of course you're the one who has to keep watch!” he said, then
leaned against the headboard with his eyes shut. Violet clenched her fists. He was the one who ate too much!
What did that have to do with her?!
But she could not argue with someone who had way more authority than she did. She knew that she could not
win against him. So, even though she did not want to, she walked over to him with her shoulders slumped.
The new flgave Lucius a sad look, then glared at Violet. Even if Violet was oblivious, she could still sense
that to the new flame, taking care of Lucius was a rare chance to get closer to him.
