Chapter 472: Ordinary Couple

Behind the door, on the other side of the crowd, Callie stood holding a cup of hot water, staring blankly. She felt a bit bitter, unsure of her emotions. She guessed that Nelson had gone to the small room to avoid disturbing her rest. But now she couldn't even squeeze in. A servant was carrying a pot of soup towards the small room. Callie hesitated and spoke up, "Nancy, let me do it." The servant noticed Callie and smiled awkwardly, "Alright, ma'am, you do it." Callie took the soup, opened the door, and walked in. The IV drip had finished, and Nelson was removing the needle. With the wall lamp on, he looked gentle and refined, perhaps less imposing due to his illness. Seeing Callie, Nelson frowned. In his muddled state, he had forgotten she was at Paucaster Villa. He probably didn't want her to know, as his pride wouldn't allow him to show any weakness. Or maybe he didn't want her to worry. As this thought crossed his mind, Nelson chuckled at himself; he was actually afraid.
