Chapter 1186 Deep Affection
Sadie whipped up some apple soup and pasta, then headed over to Joe's room. "Hey, you skipped dinner, so I made you some pasta. Give it a try," she said. "Sadie, you're the best," Joe said, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
"Not sure if you'll like it," Sadie said, handing him the utensils and pouring a cup of apple soup. "I made a bunch and put it in a thermos. If you want more later, just pour yourself a cup." "You're a lifesaver," Joe said, digging into the pasta. "This is the best thing I've ever eaten."
"It's just simple pasta," Sadie said with a smile. "You've got a chill, and something warm will help your stomach feel better."
"Yeah, I feel way better now, like my cold's almost gone..." Joe started to say, but then he sneezed again.
"How could you get better that fast?" Sadie said, half amused, half exasperated. "Percy's bringing you some medicine later. Take it and get some rest. You'll feel better tomorrow." With that, she got up to leave.
"Sadie," Joe grabbed her hand quickly. "Are you leaving? Can you stay with me for a bit?"
"You need to rest," Sadie said gently, looking at him. "If I stay, I'll just disturb you."
"No, you won't," Joe insisted, not letting go of her hand. "I just want to look at you." "You can see me tomorrow," Sadie gently pulled her hand away. "Get some rest." Then she left the room.
Joe watched her go, feeling bummed out. He thought her kindness meant she had feelings for him. But now he realized she was just being a good friend. Maybe she was a bit grateful too. But there was no love.
Joe sighed deeply, then forced a smile and told himself, 'It's okay. If I keep at it, even if her heart's made of stone, I can warm it up.'
As Sadie left the room, she saw a figure hurrying away. It was Amanda's maid.
Sadie frowned. She knew Amanda had been keeping tabs on her and Joe, which is why she had someone spying.
Just then, Percy showed up with the medicine, followed by Barbara and two other maids.
"Is the medicine ready?" Sadie asked with a smile.
"Yeah," Percy nodded. "Take it tonight and then for three more days."
"Just give it to them. You should go rest," Sadie said, concerned. "You have to get up early tomorrow to help Hubert with the medicine." "It's cool. It won't take long," Percy responded. "I need to explain some stuff to Joe."
Sadie nodded. "Alright, explain and then get some rest."
"Okay," Percy said, heading upstairs with the medicine.
Sadie was about to go back to her room when Barbara cautiously asked, "Ms. James, aren't you going to stay with Joe?"
"He'll rest after taking the medicine," Sadie replied without looking back and left.
Barbara fell silent. She waited until Sadie left before raising her head and following Percy.
"Ms. James is really cold to Mr. Louis," one of the maids whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense," Barbara whispered back, then knocked on Joe's door.
Percy went in with the medicine, gave Joe a few instructions, and then left.
Barbara said the medicine was bitter and sent the two maids to get some sugar from Percy. The maids quickly followed.
In the dimly lit room, only Barbara and Joe were left.
Under the dim light, Barbara's gaze became suggestive. She looked at Joe with deep affection, whispering, "Joe, let me help you to bed."
