During lunchtime, Laura didn't leave the room. Instead, Graven ordered Sally to bring her food to her room. He was getting worried of her condition, he thought she was just faking it due to what transpired between them in the morning.
Rebecca entered the room after Sally left. She went to bed. "Oh, my dear...are you sick?" she asked worriedly.
Laura nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm not feeling well today, my whole body is weak. I think I'm going to have a fever," she replied.
"Oh, it must be the weather here in the countryside," Rebecca commented. She looked at the food on the bedside table. "You want me to feed you?" she offered.
Laura shook her head. "No, need. I can manage it," she said.
"Do you need anything?" Rebecca asked, offering her assistance before she will leave the room.
"No thanks, I'll be fine. I just need to rest so that I can finally go to the cave tomorrow," she responded.
"Okay, rest well. I'll get some medicine downstairs," Rebecca said and exited the room.
After Rebecca left, Laura get up from the bed and began eating her meal.
She finished consuming her food within thirty minutes.
A few minutes later, Sally returned with a tray to retrieved the dirty dishes.
Laura looked at the maid and the empty flower vase. "Sally...can you put some flowers in the flower vase please?" she requested.
Sally smiled. "Okay, Miss. I'll go to the garden and get some flowers and bring it here," she replied. She put the empty dishes in the tray and left the room.
Laura went to the window and looked outside, scanning the surrounding area of the house. Graven told her that he will give this land to his twin brother so that they can live here peacefully and raised a family, then he will not show his face anymore. He will stay away from them so that the three of them can continue to live their lives in peace.
She released a deep sigh - until now she had a hard time reconciling with the fact that she and Graven engaged in sexual intimacy even if they both know it's wrong, they both betrayed Luke! Maybe she will just stay around for a while until Luke has fully recovered his body, then say goodbye to him, and leave going back to her hometown.
She stayed beside the window for a few minutes.
Then she returned to bed for her afternoon nap. She covered her body with the blanket and closed her eyes.
A moment later, she heard a knock outside the door.
"Miss Laura, I got the flowers!" Sally said.
"Just push the door, it's open," she replied.
Sally entered the room. She put some tablets on the bedside table. "Here's some medicine that is given by Miss Rebecca," she said. She put the flowers on the table and picked up the vase, she went to the bathroom and filled the vase with water, then she went back to the table and began her flower arrangement.
Laura watched the maid's activity - wearing a smile on her face. She found Sally's flower arrangement therapeutic to watch. "The flowers are beautiful," she commented. "And your flower arrangement is awesome!" she praised her.
Sally smiled, proud of her effort. "Thank you, Miss!" she said.
After putting the last flower on the vase, Sally rose to her feet. "I'm taking my leave now. Would you like me to bring you a cup of chamomile tea or juice?" she offered.
"A cup of tea will do," Laura responded.
"Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes," Sally said and left the room.
When Sally returned, she brought the cup of chamomile tea with her. "Here's your tea, Miss Laura," she said and placed the cup on the bedside table within her reach.
She was about to leave...
"Sally sit on the chair for a moment, please. I want to ask you something," she said.
Sally obeyed and lowered herself on the chair. "What is it that you want to ask, Miss?"
Laura cleared her throat. "Hmm...I want to ask about Luke and Graven. Are the twins close to each other?" she asked.
"Yes! They are very close to each other," replied Sally.
"Does Graven have a girlfriend or did he brought a woman here?" she asked.
"No. The only woman Lord Graven brought here is only you and no other, ah there's Miss Rebecca who is like a sister to him. As for your question about his girlfriend, I don't know about that," Sally answered.
"How about Luke? Did he brought a woman here?" she inquired.
Sally shook her head. "No, never even once," she replied. "Sir Luke likes traveling to different places...I don't know if he had a girlfriend left somewhere. When he died, nobody comes to visit him. Which means he has no girlfriend," she said.
