When she woke up, she found that the sun outside was already a little dazzling, and it seemed that it was almost noon.

Freshen herself up and changed her clothes, she pushed the door open and headed for Bennett's room.

There was a maid guarding the door, and the other was nowhere to be seen. She patted the other party, woke them up and said, "You go and take a break, and I'll deal with it next." ”

“…… Madame, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have fallen asleep, I ......"

"It's okay, it's normal to be tired for a day and a night, and to be sleepy. Go and rest. I'll leave it to me. After persuading the maid away, she pushed open the door and entered.

Bennett was still asleep in bed, but his face seemed much better than yesterday, at least not the strange flush again. It should be that the fever has completely subsided. Thinking of this, she gently stretched out her hand and put it on the other party's forehead.

Maybe her hands were too cold and irritated the other party. Bennett opened his eyes and reached out and grabbed her hand.

Facing this sharp look, Zhang Xiaomo did not resist, nor was he nervous, but comforted him with a soft voice: "Don't be nervous, there are no enemies here, rest in peace, I'm here, all the time." ”

Listening to her words, Bennett slowly saw her face clearly, and then relaxed his hand: "I'm sorry, I ......"

"......Shhh Don't be nervous. You just have to close your eyes and get some rest. ”

With that, she wrung out a towel from the basin next to her, and began to clean the other person's face, as well as the uninjured arm, and continued to change the aloe vera meat for him.

The gentle movements and cold touch made Bennett feel refreshed, and he just lay quietly on the bed and watched Zhang Xiaomo do these things in an orderly manner: "I'm a little jealous of your patient. ”

If she treats her patients so gently, then it must be not only him who will be jealous of her patients, but also the Dragon Prince.

Hearing his words, Zhang Xiaomo only smiled faintly and continued the movements in his hands. It wasn't until she was done that she sat aside, picked up a book and read it, all in English, without a burden on her. Such people are rare in China, but Bennett is not surprised, after all, the woman in front of him is the wife of the Dragon Prince, isn't it?

Thinking of that wonderful man again, Bennett couldn't lie down and rest even more peacefully: "Madam, can you please chat with me?" Although he also knew that as a housekeeper, he had made very excessive and rude requests, but now, he just couldn't help but want to know more about the woman in front of him.

Zhang Xiaomo glanced at him with some surprise, and then shook his head: "What you need now is to rest, not chat." Sleep, perhaps...... One day, our relationship improved, and we were able to have a good chat. But definitely not now. With that, she looked down at the book again.

The sunlight was pouring in through the white screens, and the light had become very soft. Such sunlight shines on the person, as if the whole person will shine. And Zhang Xiaomo, who is sitting quietly in front of the window reading a book like this, is like the most holy woman at the moment, making it impossible for people to have any bad thoughts.

Looking at her like this, even Bennett, who is modernly educated, has an urge to go to church to pray. Because of his work, he has long lost his faith, or rather, his faith has completely changed, and it is not until this woman, this scene, that he rediscovers the meaning of the word "holy".

In this way, he looked at Zhang Xiaomo blankly for more than half an hour. Until Zhang Xiaomo finally looked up at him: "If you don't rest again, I'll go out." ”

This sentence made him close his eyes immediately. After a long while, he quietly opened his eyes again: "Madam." ”

"Huh?"

"The methods and means by which we invited you over may not be very friendly, but we really don't have any intention of hurting you."

This is the first time I've heard the other party talk about it, right? And it was brought up on its own initiative. For this, Zhang Xiaomo didn't seem very excited and excited, and still hummed lightly, as if ...... It's not her business at all.

Her reaction made Bennett think that she didn't believe what she said, and she was emotional, and sat up directly: "Madam, what I said is true." ”

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Xiaomo reluctantly put down the book in his hand and looked at him: "I know." ”

"You know?"

"If you were going to hurt me, you wouldn't let me stay here like this. I don't know what the master behind you is going to do, but I am grateful for the care you have taken care of me these days. ”

These words were so sincere and touching that Bennett didn't know how to answer her for a while, so she could only nod: "Thank you, madam." ”

"No, I'm supposed to thank you." Zhang Xiaomo smiled, and then motioned for him to lie down and rest.

Bennett, who was lying down, didn't plan to rest any longer, and continued: "Madame, don't worry about Mr. Long. We didn't ask him to do anything that would embarrass him. It's just that some of the information he has collected in the past few months involves a very important plan for us. We just hope that Mr. Long will not touch certain areas for the time being. ”

"Huh?"

"I can't explain what it is to Madame. But the strength of the Long family is not only in China, but also very strong in the world, and we have no intention of offending the Long family. Therefore, Mr. Long is only asked not to touch certain areas for the time being. In exchange for his promise, we even opened the door to many actions for him, and exchanged a lot of information with him. He didn't lose money on this deal. ”

Although he had known for a long time that the Long family was very powerful, Zhang Xiaomo really never thought that the Long family would be so strong that he would force these people to such a point. So, in fact, this is the reason why they arrested her but didn't dare to hurt her, right?

However, even if he understood this, Zhang Xiaomo did not intend to debunk it. After all, no one else hurt her, and she didn't need to embarrass everyone: "So, how long are you going to lock me up?" ”

"It will take some time for our plans to adjust and withdraw. I don't know the exact time, but it will take more than a month, right? During this time, if Madame has any requests, we will try to meet them. ”

What are the requirements? Zhang Xiaomo thought for a while and asked, "I only want to know one thing." ”

"Madame, please command."

"Who was it that kidnapped me out of the camp that day? Or rather, how many more people like this are there in our camp? "That's the scariest thing for her, right? I thought it was the safest place, but I didn't expect there to be a mole.

If that person is not pulled out, the same thing is likely to happen again. It's just that if something like this happens again, I'm afraid she won't be as lucky as this time.

After hearing her question, Bennett hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "When Mr. Long approached us, he asked the same question. Pardon me, ma'am, for not being able to give you an answer to this question. ”

"Really?" Glancing at the other party, Zhang Xiaomo did not speak again, but continued to look down at his book. Since the other party didn't want to answer, she didn't bother to ask. People like this are professionally trained, and with her amateur level, don't waste your energy.

Seeing her expression, Bennett thought she was angry: "Madam, I don't say it's for a reason. Since he has become our partner, if I betray him, I will only become a despicable person......"

"Is a man who betrays his country, his countrymen, a man of noble character?" With that, she closed the book heavily, and then stood up, "I'm sorry, we can't continue our chat." You have a good rest. With that, she left the room directly.

As she was leaving, she saw another maid coming over with a dining cart: "Madame, your lunch is ready." "This time, there was just a simple bread, an omelette, bacon, and a vegetable salad. Looking at the burnt bread and eggs, the bacon with the color of raw meat, and the vegetable salad that is not shredded at all, you don't have to think about it, and it doesn't taste very good. Moreover, such a meal is not suitable for the patient's recovery, right?

With a sigh in her heart, she asked, "Where's the kitchen?" ”

"Huh?"

"This kind of meal is not suitable for patients. Where is the kitchen? I'm going to prepare a patient's meal. As she spoke, she pulled her hair up.

The maid was stunned for a moment, and her face was slightly embarrassed: "Madame......"

"He is a sick person, and his weak stomach cannot digest these foods, which will increase the burden on his body." Zhang Xiaomo looked at her with a calm face: "Or do you want him to continue to be sick like last night?" ”

Hearing this, the maid bent down again and again, then turned around and led her to the kitchen. It seems that the maid herself knows that such a meal cannot make people healthy.

The kitchen is big and there is a rare fridge with a lot of ingredients, meat, eggs, and vegetables. It seems that there should be supplies sent by people on a regular basis. It's just that she is more strange that in such a large manor, is only the housekeeper Bennett who can cook?

You must know that the housekeeper can be said to be the person with the highest status in the manor except for the master, usually only the maid cooks for him, and there is no him to cook for the servant. So, how did the other servants in the manor eat?

However, if it's a maid, they shouldn't be too picky about the food, even if it's a meal like the maid made just now, they should eat it, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tear a handful of sympathy for those poor people, so she picked out some ingredients from the refrigerator, and then quickly got busy in the kitchen, and it didn't take long for a sick meal suitable for the patient to be eaten.

But she didn't stop, but cooked another pasta and a mushroom meat sauce. After pouring the meat sauce over the boiled pasta, she fried another egg and buckled it on the noodles, and then sat aside with her plate: "I'll eat this at noon." ”

At this time, the maid realized that she was disgusted with her craftsmanship, so she asked to come to the kitchen. After understanding this, the maid was a little frightened: "Madame......"

"It's not your fault, I'm already picky, and I don't like to eat what Bennett makes, so I'll improve my food first while he can't cook." With that, she winked at the maid, making her even more embarrassed.

However, because of her words, the maid was a little more relieved, and pushed the dining cart to deliver food to Bennett.

Sitting alone in the empty kitchen eating, instead of being stared at by the three people as usual, she ate more comfortably than usual. Besides, everyone is familiar with their own tastes, and what comes out of this way may not taste very authentic, but it must be what you like to eat.

This meal, although it was just an ordinary pasta, was the most comfortable meal she had eaten in a while.

After eating the noodles on the plate, she was a little regretful: "It's a pity, if I can eat the food that Ah Xuan cooked for me, even if it is clear soup noodles, I will admit it." ”

"Really? My husband never knew that my wife was so satisfied with my cooking. A low, familiar voice rang out behind her.
