Chapter 1191 The Door is Locked

"Whoa!" Joe saw Barbara smack her head, froze up for a sec, then reached out to help her. "Sorry, Barbara, didn't mean to," he mumbled.

"Barbara, you're such a saint," Arya snarked. "Mr. Louis is a grown man, and you're still feeding him meds?"

Arya's always been the type to say whatever pops into her head.

"Joe's burning up and super weak, so I had to help him with his meds," Barbara said, brushing off the bump on her forehead. "Ms. James, don't get the wrong idea." "No biggie, we're all family," Sadie said with a slight smile. "Is your forehead okay?"

"It's fine," Barbara said, covering her forehead. "Since Ms. James is here, I'll head out."

She bowed and left, head down. Arya and the other maids cleaned up and then bounced too.

Now it was just Joe and Sadie in the room.

Joe quickly said, "Sadie, about earlier..."

"Are you running a fever?" Sadie cut him off, touching his forehead. Yep, he was burning up. "What's going on? Didn't you take your meds?"

"I did," Joe nodded. "I took the stuff Percy brought last night and this morning, but I still felt crappy, so Barbara brought more meds just now."

"You can't mix meds like that," Sadie frowned, eyeing the pills on the coffee table. "Change your clothes, I'll take you to see Hubert."

"Hubert was here like half an hour ago," Joe said, looking troubled. "My mom was here too, and they talked it over. Later, my mom said my body was more suited to Barbara's meds, so..." "Alright," Sadie sighed but got it.

"Do you think Hubert's mad?" Joe asked nervously. "I wanted to apologize and explain, but he said he had to prep the meds and left in a hurry."

"It's cool. He won't get mad over something so small," Sadie smiled. "Since Duchess Louis already got the meds for you, just take 'em on time and rest up."

With that, she started to leave.

"Sadie," Joe called out, grabbing her hand. "Can't you stay with me for a bit?"

Sadie was about to say no, but seeing Joe's pale, pitiful face, she sighed and gave in. "Alright, I'll stay for a bit."

"Awesome," Joe said, sounding relieved.

"Lie down," Sadie instructed. She helped him onto the couch, covered him with a blanket, and poured him a glass of water. "You've taken your meds. Drink some water and rest." "Okay," Joe said, leaning tiredly against the pillow, still sniffling.

"Your health is really..." Sadie frowned, looking at his weak state. "You need to work out more."

"I do work out. I hardly ever get sick. No clue what happened this time," Joe explained. "Sadie, can you sit closer to me?"

"Just rest," Sadie replied firmly but gently. She picked up a book and leaned on the couch to read.

Joe was a bit bummed but happy to have her there.

Before he knew it, Joe was out cold. Sadie put down her book, tucked him in, and got up to leave. But the door wouldn't budge. She tried the doorknob a few more times, but nope, still stuck.

Locked from the outside.

Sadie was pretty annoyed but didn't make a scene. She went back to the couch and kept reading.

After a while, Arya's voice came from outside, "Ms. James, you still in there?"

"Yeah," Sadie replied. "Open the door."

Arya muttered, "Weird, why's the door locked?"
