Meanwhile, at the Qin Mansion's study room, the steward, Mr. Samora was sweating profusely. He was called in by the Qin couple, so he prepared his mind on how he is going to answer all their questions. But this time, he missed one thing.

Mr.and Mrs. Qin suddenly asked him about the young miss. Previously, they would only ask about the little miss once in a while, which can still be counted on his fingers.

If they really need a definite  answer, they would just ask the miss. And that, can still be counted on the fingers of his right hand. Those are still very far and few from each other, so he never thought that they would ask now.

For the first time, they've broken the pattern!
And, for the first time ever since he started working for the Qins, he had no answer. And that was why he was sweating profusely despite the room being cold.

"Are you sure that she hasn't been bullied or something of that sorts?"

Mr. Alfonso's voice boomed throughout the whole room, which was big enough to be a house for some people.

Mr. Samora's body became stiff, then he bowed his head, "Yes, Sir."

Mrs. Alicia, noticing his body language, suddenly took part in the conversation of the two men, " Really? Then why is she acting differently this time?"

Raphael Samora sighed. He wanted to ask,
"Why do you care? You have never cared before about your daughter, so why bother now?" 

But atlas, he can't do that, lest he lose his job.
So he could only answer,

"She's been dizzy the other day, madam, so maybe she's feeling a bit uncomfortable."

Mrs. Qin's face turned dark after hearing this. She furiously slammed the teacup that she was holding and asked, "What?! And you haven't reported it to us?"

"Please forgive this steward's unthoughtfulness, Madam." The steward can only admit defeat.

The moment the Madam shouted at him, the steward, Raphael knew that he had to retreat in order for him to survive.

Madam was always calm even in the midst of anything. Until now, that is. It's the first time that she had lost her composure. Raphael doesn't know the reason why they suddenly care for the young miss. Yes, they still care for her, but they had never reacted like this. At most, they're just going to ask, 'Is your young miss okay?'  And that's that.

The couple barely had time to bond with their daughter. It's a good thing that she understands them. She was always jolly and a bit childish when her parents and brother were home. This was the first time ever that she acted like that.

How would he know what's going on in the young miss' mind? She was just fine last night! Her dizziness wasn't there anymore and the Doctor said that she doesn't need further tests and medication anymore. So…..

What happened, then?

Mr. Qin interrupted the stewards' thought as he ordered,  "Make sure this won't happen again. Understood?"

"Yes, sir. Understood."

"You can go now. Call Mischel in."

Raphael sighed in relief. He bowed his head towards the couple, then walked out from the study room. He went to find Mischel to tell her the patriarch's order.

"Mischel, go to the study room now."  The steward told the young maid as he found her in the kitchen, helping wash the utensils.

" Yes, sir Raphael."

Mischel walked faster than usual, knowing that the boss and madam hates tardiness. Her cheeks were flushed from walking faster that she almost seemed to run. She knocked at the door after five seconds of calming her fast beating heart.
