Chapter 368: The maid's scream
Purple Flower Manor, back kitchen.
The maids in black and white maid costumes were busy in the kitchen at this time, some were cleaning the dishes after dinner, some were cleaning the kitchen utensils and indoor hygiene, and a man in a black deacon suit, like a butler, walked back and forth among the people, stopping from time to time to point out the shortcomings.
Everyone in the kitchen is doing their own thing and is in order.
At this moment, the wooden door from the kitchen to the backyard was opened, and an elderly woman walked in from the outside.
"Mrs. Mawson, how is little Walker?" The old butler stepped forward and asked.
"Dr. Robert has seen it, and only says that little Walker has a high fever, a fever and weakness, and maybe some anemia." Mrs. Mawson glanced into the kitchen and replied.
Mrs. Mawson is the head maid of the manor, specializing in managing the maid work in the back kitchen, and has been working for the Christie family for decades, and is also the old man of this purple flower manor.
"This is the fourth person in the manor to fall ill, hasn't Dr. Robert found something else?"
"Dr. Robert has done his best, and he suggests that if there is no improvement tonight, then everyone should be taken to the hospital tomorrow." Mawson shook his head every day.
The old butler tightened the bow tie of his clothes, his face was a little helpless, and he was now more worried that this inexplicable epidemic would infect the old man and them.
"Then do as Dr. Robert says, Mrs. Mawson, and send two men to guard the patient to-night, and inform me as soon as there is any situation." The old housekeeper advised: "By the way, don't forget to do a good job of isolation." ”
"Don't worry, I've already told Jasmine and Lilac."
Mrs. Mawson replied, and turned to check on the work of the maids, which was her duty, and had only left for the time being to let the old butler take care of them.
If you go out through the back door of the kitchen and continue along the garden path for more than 200 meters, you will come to a two-storey building, which is the dormitory of all the workers of the manor.
In the corridor of the Ziding Building, a petite young woman was pacing back and forth, when the door was pushed open, and a tall maid walked out of the room with a basin of water.
"Sister Jasmine, how are they, are they better?" Seeing the tall maid walk out, the petite maid stepped forward and asked.
The two maids were of different heights, but they were both young women with good looks and well-proportioned figures.
"Everyone else is pretty much the same, just a low-grade fever, but Lily's condition seems to be getting worse and worse." Jasmine, the tall maid, shook her head and replied, her face wearing a mask, only her bright eyes exposed.
Hearing her words, the petite woman clasped her hands together in front of her slightly sized chest, and a worried look appeared on her face.
After the two exchanged a few words outside the door, Jasmine left with the basin of water, while Lilac, the petite maid, brought a chair from another room and sat outside the door and waited.
Click.
The strange noise alarmed Lilac, who was sleeping.
"It's... Is Sister Jasmine coming? Lilac said in a daze, looking across the hallway, but she didn't see anyone.
Click.
The strange noise came again, and this time Lilac finally heard it, and it came from the room.
"Did someone wake up?"
Lilac rubbed her eyes, looked at the wall clock on the wall, then got up from her chair, pushed the door straight and walked in.
The room was pitch black, only a faint moonlight shone in through the window, Lilac tried to turn on the lights in the room, but pressed the switch several times to no avail.
Click... Click... Click......
The strange voice rang out again, and slowly approached her.
"Is that you?" Lilac felt a little frightened and whispered, but there was no answer in the darkness, only the clicking sound of approaching.
"Tom? Lily? Pandan? ”
Lilac's voice trembled, and after changing several names in a row, no one answered, and the clicking sound became more and more urgent.
The next moment, a rickety black shadow flashed under the moonlight and rushed in front of her.
Yes~~~~~~~!!
The screams instantly broke the silence of the night.
Alice looked up at her desk, and Marwa walked out of the small bedroom next door.
"Sister Marwa, was someone screaming just now?"
"Miss heard it right, the voice is indeed coming from Ziding Xiaolou." Marwa replied with her black-rimmed glasses.
Alice nodded suspiciously, the small building was the name of the workers' dormitory in the manor.
"Miss Alice, are you alright?"
"Alice, are you okay in there?"
At this moment, two voices rang out from outside the room, one after the other.
Alice and Marva looked at each other helplessly, then walked out together, opened the door, and sure enough, they saw the two young men at the same table at dinner, and the guards behind them.
"Cousin Nick, cousin Da Vinci, haven't you rested so late?"
Alice asked with a smile.
"I'm used to taking a walk before going to bed, and I just happened to walk around here, and suddenly I heard a scream, because I was a little worried about you, cousin Alice, so I stopped by to have a look."
Nick has a faint dark circle on his face, and a big golden back on his head, and is looking at Alice with concern on his face.
"Accustomed to walking before bed? How did I hear that your bedtime habit is to exercise in bed? ”
Da Vinci next to him wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked polite, but here he said to Nick in a strange manner.
"Hmph, it's better than some sick people with weak kidneys, it's so late, you guy don't go back to rest, is it hard to hold back and get up to find the toilet??"
"What did you say??"
As long as a man has money, it is easy to indulge in lust, not to mention that Nick, who is from a big family, is not a clan and is not the eldest son in the family, and his private life is quite chaotic without much ambition, this kind of thing is pointed out to his face, and his face naturally can't hang it, so Nick glared at Da Vinci angrily and sneered at him.
Nick and Da Vinci belong to different factions of patriarchal candidates, and as the date of the patriarchal birthday banquet gets closer and closer, the competition between the candidates becomes more and more fierce, so it is natural that Nick and the two are on the same page.
After all, once a person ascends to heaven, once the candidate they follow becomes the patriarch, then the identity of these followers will naturally rise with the tide.
Looking at the two of them who looked like cocks in heat, Alice shook her head secretly, turned around and left.
Nick and Da Vinci both aim at Alice, and of course they will not give up every opportunity to get along with Alice, and when they saw the latter leave, the two snorted coldly and followed.
When Alice and Marwa arrived at the Purple Ding Building, there were already a lot of people gathered here.
Most of them were servants from the estate, and they all had nervous and fearful looks on their faces.
"Father." Alice saw her father Dennis in the crowd, who was talking to the old butler, so she stepped forward: "Father, who was the cry just now?" What's going on here? ”
