Chapter 2687 - 160: Something Fishy
In the following days, Molly Wellington only helps Abraham Redington into the bathtub when he occasionally looks ’very weak’.
After that, she immediately leaves the bathroom.
When Abraham finishes bathing and calls her, she goes in to help him up and dry his body.
Of course, in this process, she invariably sees his well-defined physique and the smooth, powerful lines of his muscles.
It also happens that their bodies brush against each other inadvertently.
However, compared to the initial awkwardness and discomfort, Molly Wellington remains calm and composed the subsequent times.
Despite Molly Wellington taking care of Abraham every day, even personally assisting with his meals, baths, and clothing changes, and despite Dr. Cooper coming up to check every day.
But three days have passed, and Abraham still occasionally has a fever, and the illness seems unchecked.
Today, Molly Wellington is feeding Abraham some porridge when Ray Mckinley knocks on the door to enter.
"Miss Molly, did you call for me?"
Ray Mckinley occasionally comes up, but always wears a mask, looking particularly afraid of contagion.
Because of this, Molly Wellington would not request him to come up unless necessary.
She knows there are nearly twenty Royal Palace and Loyalty Group employees downstairs, and they are discussing important cooperation cases; if one gets sick, it could infect everyone.
"Yes." Molly Wellington is blowing on a spoonful of porridge until it’s warm before bringing it to Abraham’s mouth, not turning her head, "I wanted to ask you about the situation downstairs lately. Have your parties finalized the cooperation agenda?"
This cooperation case was supposed to be her responsibility on behalf of the Royal Palace.
But Abraham got sick, and she is directly involved.
Molly Wellington is not someone who doesn’t understand gratitude; at this moment, she is the most suited to care for Abraham, and indeed, only she can help him recuperate properly.
Hence, she did not hesitate to abandon her work and come up to take care of him.
She clearly understands the consequences of such actions.
By doing this, it’s as if she has handed over most of the nearly concluded cooperation case to others downstairs.
"This..." Ray Mckinley hesitates slightly, looking at Abraham sitting by the bed.
At this moment, Abraham’s deep blue eyes are focused intently on Molly Wellington’s face.
Molly Wellington brings the spoon to his mouth, and he opens it.
Never has Ray Mckinley seen the accommodating, obedient demeanor of the Redington Young Master.
Sensing Ray’s inquisitive gaze, Abraham’s cold eyes flicker, looking at Ray, giving an imperceptible nod.
Ray immediately understands: "Everything is good downstairs, Miss Molly, no need to worry."
Everything is good?
It seems Stella Brown and Maggie would be pleased.
What she worked so hard for has ended up in someone else’s hands; it’s natural to feel disappointed.
But, if it’s for the company’s good, she doesn’t mind.
"Alright... then kindly pay more attention to things downstairs. Oh, and should Dr. Cooper come up again to see your young master? His condition is still fluctuating, and it’s already been three days; I feel like his symptoms might be worsening?"
Molly Wellington never suspected any hidden motives.
Because she still understands Abraham Redington.
Abraham is proud and self-confident, always setting high standards for himself.
He dislikes being sick, even more so showing a weak side to others.
Just like when he was a child, Abraham wouldn’t tell anyone when he was sick, nor did he like seeing doctors.
Because that made him feel weaker than Brother Charlie.
Molly knows Abraham has always admired and ’envied’ Brother Charlie since childhood, because Brother Charlie is so perfect—even Abraham feels inadequate compared to him.
"This..." Ray quietly glances at Abraham, who no longer gives him a signal.
Ray can only say: "Alright, alright... I’ll call Dr. Cooper up; Miss Molly, please wait."
