Since She Met Lucian

By the time Amelia woke up, it was already afternoon.

She didn't know if it was just her long nap or if it was the porridge she had that noon but she felt so frail and weak. She looked around and quickly realized that she had been sleeping in Lucian's room. She got out of bed right away and didn't come out until she was sure that Lucian wasn't there.

"Are you awake, Mrs. Amelia?" a kind voice suddenly asked making the already sweating Amelia jump back.

The girl was around 17 or 18 years old. Amelia didn't like how she was referred to, still she just nodded politely.

"Who are you?" She knew that Lucian lived here alone. Even Darren only dropped by every now and then.

"My name is Lily Gu. I'm 18. Mr. Lucian asked me to take care of you," Lily said with a sweet smile. Then she added, "Wow, you're so beautiful!"

Really? She was pale and her hair was a mess so she really didn't know how honest Lily was being.

"I... Call me Amelia." She really didn't like being called Mrs. Amelia.

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. We're servants of the Zhan family and we have to follow the rules of the Zhan family. I have to call you Mrs. Amelia." With a serious look on her face, Lily said nervously, "Mrs. Amelia, before Mr. Lucian left which was just a while ago, he asked me to cook you some chicken soup. He said that I have to watch you eat to make sure that you finish it."

Her voice trailed off in the end.

Wow, Lucian was a really good actor. It seemed as if he was genuinely worried about her that he had to hire another person to specifically look after her.

But she was indeed feeling a little hungry and Lily had already cooked chicken soup... So why not?

When she'd finished eating, she was completely satisfied. She then glanced at her watch and wondered why Lucian wasn't home yet. She stopped herself right away and she had to remind herself that she shouldn't care anyway.

Amelia rubbed her forehead to console herself. She could tell something was wrong with her because she just couldn't stop thinking about Lucian!

Lily meanwhile did a lot of other housework. Amelia had never had someone else take care of her so she didn't really know what to do. She then recalled what Fannie said and reminded herself that she shouldn't get used to this type of treatment.

Amelia didn't plan to take a penny of the Zhan family so she thought she shouldn't be treated like this. She then decided to just wait for Lucian to come home so she could talk about it with him.
