Chapter 1226 “Alright.” Hans hung up without saying whether he'd be coming hor not.

Martha was frantic, locking at Serena unconscious on the bed, her temperature already spiking at 102.6 Fahrenheit.

She opened the door and called out to Edith, who was standing by the entrance. "Serena's running a fever, go grab sfever patches. Also, get the kitchen to make something she likes." “Are you orderingaround?" “What do you mean?" Martha put on a haughty air. “Serena's sick, isn't it your job as a servant to take care of her?" “Why don't you?" “| need to stay here and look after Serena!" Edith stood in place, giving a cold laugh. "Serena hasn't apologized to Ms. Bella yet." “What did you say?" “Hans said not to feed her until she shows remorse. If you want a fever patch, you can go get it yourself. My job is to stand here “Edith, are you takingfor a fool?" Martha bristled with rage. “Who do you think you are?" “I'm just a humble servant.” Edith met her gaze, unflinching. “Just like you." Martha was furious. "Just you wait!" As Martha stormed out, she deliberately bumped into Edith. Unfazed, Edith stuck out a foot to trip her up.

“Once Serena wakes up, I'll tell her everything that happened today!" “You talk as if you have a lady backing you!" Edith wasn't afraid of her, instead, she gave a snort and continued to stand guard at the door.

Martha's eyes flashed with a murderous intent, but she swallowed her anger for the moment.

After what felt like forever, Martha heard footsteps approaching and quickly stuck the fever patch onto Serena's forehead.

Upon hearing the knock, Martha ran to the door, tears streaming down her face. "Oh Hans, thank goodness you're back! Serena's fever won't break. I've been so worried! Before she passed out, she kept saying she was sorry, admitting she was wrong." Hans looked at the unconscious girl on the bed. Her cheeks were flushed like ripe apples, and it didn't seem like she was faking it.

“Did you call a doctor?" Hans asked.

Through her tears, Martha exclaimed, "Edith wouldn't even give us a fever patch, she made everything difficult! | had to go get it myself. Let alone calling a doctor, we're lucky to even have this fever patch!" Edith, standing by the door, heard Martha twisting the facts and was about to retort.

Martha started to cry harder. "Serena's so sick and there's no doctor to see her. She hasn't had a bite to eat since noon. She's never known such hardship! She kept saying she was wrong, that she wanted to apologize to you and Ms. Bella when you got back.

But she couldn't hold on." Before Hans could respond, Martha fell to her knees.

“Hans, | beg you, for the sake of your sibling bond, please allow a doctor to see Serena. I'm really afraid for her life. She's been running a high fever for so long! Please let the kitchen prepare shot porridge for her? | beg you." Seeing this woman in her fifties kneeling on the floor, crying and pleading, Hans was moved.

Looking at the girl on the bed, he was reminded of years ago when she was sick, how the whole family would gather around her, caring and fussing.
