    Violet thought she had misheard, but he had already stood and started walking ahead, prompting her to


    follow quickly. Her room was just a few steps away, hardly requiring any escort.


    Lucius opened the door for her when they arrived.


    “Thank you,” Violet said, yawning.


    Lucius lingered instead of departing, entering Violet’s room with her. “You seem quite adept at


    caregiving. Have you done this before?”


    Too weary to think clearly, Violet responded with a simple nod, “Yes, for a year.”


    “For a man?”


    “Yes.”


    With that, Lucius abruptly left, mming the door behind him.


    Violet sensed something amiss. Did her admission of caring for a man stir up memories of Agatha’s


    disloyalty? Was it necessary for him to throw a tantrum?


    By then, Lucius had already gone.


    That evening, when she arrived to take over Lucius’s shift, he exited without sparing her a nce.


    Violet, touching her neck thoughtfully, refrained from specting further and focused on caring for


    Regina, moisturizing the olddy’s lips with cotton to keep them from drying out.


    Regina, despite her serious illness, still bore remnants of her past beauty–notably her lips, much like


    Lucius’s.


    As if fortune were turning in her favor, Regina’s health began to improve significantly. The following day,


    Regina was able to sit in a wheelchair and bask in the sunlight.


    Lucius wheeled her out onto thewn. Violet handed him a nket. Their fingertips identally met, a


    warm


    and surprising spark passing between them.


    She quickly pulled her hand back.


    “Is this youngdy the one who cared for me?” Regina asked, focusing on Violet.


    “Yes,” Lucius answered softly, clearly very attentive to Regina.


    “What’s her name?”


    “Violet.”


    Before she could respond, Lucius interjected swiftly, sending her a sharp look as he finished.


    Violet swallowed her doubts, and nodded in agreement. “Mmm.”


    Regina was clearly impressed. “You’re a lovely girl. You were the one talking to me while I was


    unconscious,

    Criticizing her grandson right in front of him, perhaps…


    Violet cast an awkward nce at Lucius, who appeared indifferent.


    Although Regina was speaking ill of her grandson, she looked at him with nothing but love and


    admiration, her eyes filled with familial warmth.


    Her health was poor. She retired to her bedroom after a short while and soon fell asleep.


    Lucius then left the room.


    Violet hesitated, but followed him.


    “Why did you address me as Violet?”


    “Should I use Agatha? With Grandma’s condition, I’d rather not upset her. You’ll be Violet in her


    presence.”


    His voice dripped with sarcasm when he said that name.


    Violet was unconcerned about the underlying meaning of his mockery, but her initial hope diminished.


    She had thought he had investigated, and recognized her true identity.


    Even though Lucius hadn’t acknowledged her real identity, being called Violet in Regina’s presence


    was more


    Regina had awoken, but as a terminal patient, she needed good care.


    Violet was always on high alert, fearful of making a mistake. She only went to the bathroom when


    Regina was


    sleeping.


    During one such moment, she heard a noise from the room and rushed back in. She hurriedly stood up


    and


    rushed into the room.


    “Grandma, how are you?”


    “I wanted some water, and identally broke a cup,” Regina exined apologetically, her sweet nature


    vastly different from Lucius’s.


    “Oh, did you hurt your hand?”


    Violet frantically checked Regina’s hand, anxious about upsetting Lucius, who deeply cared for his


    grandmother.


    Regina held Violet’s hand and stopped her movements. “I’m fine. Just pour me a ss of water.”


    Violet continued to examine her hand, and discovered a minor cut. She knew the harsh consequences


    for servants who inadvertently caused Regina distress. Knowing she would be at fault, she was on the


    verge of


    tears.


    “It’s alright, it’s not painful. Lucius doesn’t need to know,” Regina reassured Violet gently, a hint of


    yfulness


    in her smile.

    “Grandma, you’re so kind,” Violet sighed, deeply touched by Regina’s gesture.


    Regina, despite her illness, radiated a dignified and elegant aura typical of the upper ss. It was


    umon for someone of her stature to be so considerate of others‘ feelings.


    Violet, chiding herself internally, hurried to get Regina some water and assisted her in


    drinking with care.


    “Looking after an elderlydy like me must be challenging. I apologize for any inconvenience,” Regina


    “On the contrary, I find yourpany far more pleasant than dealing with Lucius,” Violet confessed,


    encouraged by Regina’s warmth.


    Because of Regina’s gentleness, she spoke freely.


    It was only after speaking that she realized her words could be seen as a slight against Lucius, causing


    her to blush and stumble over her words.


    “I… I didn’t mean it like that. What I was trying to say is…”
