Chapter 1255 I'm Barbara, not Ms. James
There was a knock on the door, and then Callie barged in, giving Sadie a respectful nod. "Ms. James, you should crash here tonight. If you need anything, just holler." "Huh?" Sadie looked confused and frowned. "What are you talking about? How can I stay here? This is Joe's room."
"The Duchess Louis said Mr. Louis has a high fever and keeps calling your name in his delirium. If you stay with him, he might get better faster." Callie explained, motioning to Barbara. Barbara quickly brought over a blanket, laid it next to Joe, and set up a pillow.
Sadie was speechless. Amanda was really pushing it, openly deciding where she should be. She was about to lose her cool but then remembered the clue when she saw Barbara.
So she changed her tone and said, "Alright, I'll stay with Joe tonight. But I need someone here with me. I'm not great at taking care of people, and if something's needed in the middle of the night, someone should be here to handle it." "Of course," Callie said, bowing her head. "I'll stay here and wait for your instructions."
"Let Barbara stay," Sadie said casually. "She usually takes care of Joe and knows his condition better."
Callie looked at Barbara.
"Callie, I can do it," Barbara said eagerly.
"Alright then," Callie instructed. "Take good care of Mr. Louis and Ms. James. If anything happens, come to me immediately."
"Yes, don't worry," Barbara nodded repeatedly.
"Ms. James, I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, just tell Barbara." Callie said respectfully and bowed to Sadie. Then she left, bending over as she exited.
Sadie walked to the door and told Annika and Arya, "I'll be staying with Joe tonight. You two go rest."
"Huh?" Annika and Arya were very surprised.
Arya whispered, "Did they force you? Don't be afraid; we can confront them if needed."
"No," Sadie said calmly. "Go rest and recharge. If anything happens, I'll call you."
"Ms. James... Alright." Arya wanted to say more, but Annika stopped her. Annika handed Sadie her handbag and then pulled Arya and the others away.
Sadie closed the door, went back to the bedroom, and casually turned on the wall lamp.
At this moment, Barbara was standing by the bed, looking at Joe with a complex expression. When she saw Sadie, she immediately looked away and bowed her head. "Ms. James, do you have any instructions?" she asked softly. "Go get a basin of water and wipe Joe's body." Sadie spoke up. Then she sat on the sofa, drinking tea.
"Yes," Barbara answered. She immediately went to get hot water, wrung out a towel by the bed, and carefully handed it to Sadie. "Ms. James." "Did I call you here to watch me work?" Sadie frowned.
"Sorry," Barbara apologized timidly and then carefully wiped Joe's body.
Sadie sipped her tea, quietly observing Barbara. Her movements were very gentle as if she were caring for a dewdrop, and she was afraid of hurting Joe. Joe was sleeping deeply, his consciousness somewhat fuzzy. He seemed to sense someone wiping his body and instinctively murmured, "Sadie, Sadie..." Then, he grabbed Barbara's hand and pulled her toward him.
Barbara seemed a bit frightened, nervously glancing at Sadie and hurriedly freeing herself from Joe's grip, whispering, "Joe, you're mistaken. I'm Barbara, not Ms. James." She then retreated to the side as if scared and didn't dare approach Joe again.
