Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1185 Taking Care of Him

"Sadie, girl, it's awesome to see you here," Amanda blurted out when she spotted Sadie. "Joe's caught a nasty cold. He's been feeling like crap on the way back. Can you get Hubert to check him out?" "Sure thing, you get him to his room first. I'll go grab Hubert," Sadie replied without a second thought. She glanced at her watch. Almost nine. She wondered if Hubert had hit the sack yet. Sadie went to fetch Hubert herself. Hubert had already heard about Mary going missing and was worried she might get sick when found, so he hadn't crashed yet.

After Sadie filled him in, Hubert immediately took Percy to check on Joe.

By now, Joe had changed into some comfy clothes and was lounging on the couch, sipping water. He was grumbling that Amanda was making a big deal out of nothing and that it was too late to bug Hubert. Just then, Sadie walked in with Hubert. Amanda jumped up to greet them, showing mad respect for Hubert.

Sadie played translator as they exchanged some polite words, and then Hubert got down to business. "It's just a cold. Take some meds, have a hot bath, and get some rest."

He then told Percy to get the medicine ready.

Sadie translated Hubert's words for Amanda.

Amanda, sounding worried, asked, "Will just taking some meds be enough? Does he need to go to the hospital? Joe looks really bad-he's shivering and dizzy."

"Duchess Louis, chill. Hubert's got skills. Joe will be fine," Sadie reassured her.

Joe tried to chime in but was cut off by a sneezing fit. "Well..."

"Alright, let's leave so you can rest," Amanda said, feeling sorry for Joe, and quickly ushered everyone out.

Hubert gave Joe a few more tips and then left with Percy.

Sadie moved to see them out, but Amanda stopped her. "Sadie, I'll see Hubert out. You stay here and keep Joe company."

"I..." Sadie started to say, but Amanda left with the other maids before she could finish.

Before leaving, Barbara reminded her, "Ms. James, Joe's in your hands."

With that, everyone left and closed the door behind them.

Sadie stood there, her brow slightly furrowed.

"Sadie, don't worry about me. Get some rest," Joe said, sneezing repeatedly and looking miserable.

"Joe, you need to drink more hot water."

Feeling a bit sorry for him, Sadie turned to pour him some water but found that the kettle only had cold water. She immediately told a servant to bring some hot water. Actually, Joe and the others usually didn't drink hot water. It was only after Sadie came that they started the habit.

The servants had gotten used to it and prepared it daily.

"The apple soup you made earlier was bomb. Too bad there was only a little; I only got half a cup," Joe said, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"Let me whip up some more for you," Sadie responded. She remembered how Joe had gotten soaked in the rain while helping her look for Mary and how he had focused on drying clothes for her and Mary by the fire without taking care of himself, which was why he caught a cold.

Besides, he was always so good to her. It was only fair for her to take care of him now.

"Won't it be too much trouble for you?" Joe asked, looking at her with concern. "You also got wet and must be really tired."

"It's no trouble at all," Sadie said as she hurried out. "You rest for a bit. I'll bring it to you once it's ready."

"Okay, thanks, Sadie!" Joe replied, warmth spreading through him. A sweet smile played on his lips despite his discomfort. Turns out, when he was sick, Sadie would take care of him. Maybe tonight, she'd spend more time with him.
