Stay by my side, Mi Confidant

A Warm Touch

Lady Agatha was not able to sleep well after what happened last night. She was feeling a bit off and unable to concentrate as she tapped her pen on the document, with a troubled face.

"Are you feeling all right, my Lady? You seem not fine." Butler Donald noticed as he arranges the portfolio on her table.

"I'm sorry, Donald. Probably I am still worried about what happened last night. How's Liam?" she asked.

Butler Donald was a little surprised as he thought, "Liam? Did something happen last night?"

"I haven't checked my Lady, but Creighton is at the stables attending the horses."

"I see, would you mind bringing Liam here when you bring the snacks?" she politely requested as she starts looking into the other portfolio.

Butler Donald wondered of a sudden request.

"I will do as you say, my Lady."

"Carrie, is Lady Agatha's snack ready? Also, I need to bring Liam with me," Butler Donald said as he approaches closer and noticed Liam's forehead bruised, holding onto the bench while trying to balance himself from not falling, tapping the spoon on the bench, as he chuckled.

"Oh dear, did something happen last night? Why is Liam's forehead bruised?" Butler Donald wondered.

"It looks like Liam fell from the bed last night, and it was Lady Agatha who took care of him," Ashley said as she swipes the floor.

"I see, so that's what happened. Ashley, can you carry Liam and follow me?" Butler Donald politely asked.

"Why?" Ashley wondered.

"Lady Agatha wants to see him. Maybe, to check his forehead."

"Oh" Ashley quite a surprised face.

"Carrie, if Creighton comes, please let him know that Liam is at Lady Agatha's office." He said before they left the kitchen as he carries the tea tray.

"Yes, Sir Donald," Carrie said, wiping her hands on the apron from kneading the dough.

Ashley carried Liam, as he innocently wonders where they are going.

Lady Agatha was sitting on the couch reading a book when Butler Donald, Ashley with Liam in her arms came in. Liam feels happy upon seeing Lady Agatha, as he claps his hands smiling while Ashley carried him. Butler Donald put the tea tray on the coffee table.

"Give Liam to me." Lady Agatha said as she looked.

Ashley gave Liam to her, as she and Butler Donald glanced at each other, politely.

"Let me have a look at your forehead?" Lady Agatha gently lifts Liam's face, and Liam smiled at her. She tenderly smiled at him back.

"The swelling is gone, but you have a deep bruise."

"Ashley, you can go back to the Kitchen, and please leave the door open, Creighton might be coming here soon."

"Yes, my Lady," Ashley said as she left the door open.

Liam was comfortably sitting on her lap and noticed the bun on the table, which spark his eyes.

"Donald, could you please get the ointment on my drawer?"

"Yes, my Lady."

Butler Donald reaches the ointment to Lady Agatha's hand and she put it on the table for a moment. She took the knife and sliced a small piece of the Colston Bun and gave it to Liam. Liam's eyes sparkled again, as he took the piece [looking yummy] as he grabs a bite of it. Chewing it so adorably.
