Chapter 400
"Ms. Dennis, you're finally awake!"
A male voice rang out in her ears.
Violette turned towards the source of the sound.
It was Elijah's bodyguard.
"Ms. Dennis, do you remember what happened last night?" The bodyguard stood by the bed, chatting
away non-stop, "Last night, when our boss carried you back from the forest, it was raining cats and
dogs! He even lost his shoes and had to walk barefoot to get you back!"
Violette didn't know how to respond.
"Although your leg was badly injured, our boss also got a few deep cuts on his feet..." The bodyguard
looked down at her with a smug expression, "You got soaked last night and had a high fever. Our boss
also caught a fever. After bringing you back, he treated his feet, and took some fever medicine, but
didn't even have time to close his eyes before he had to rush to the old lady's funeral."
Seeing no expression on her face, he figured that she must be too ill to comprehend.
"Ms. Dennis, out of all the women I know, you're the toughest," The bodyguard's face showed
admiration, "Early this morning, around five, my colleagues and I found an injured wolf in the forest...
perhaps it's the one that bit you last night? You're amazing! So thin and weak, yet you fought a wolf!"
"I had a dagger," Violette corrected him. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The moment she opened her mouth, a strange sensation hit her throat.
She broke into a fit of coughing!
"Ms. Dennis, don’t speak, just listen to me," The bodyguard continued, "That wolf, we ate it! Consider it
as revenge for you!"
Violette: "..."
"Also, my colleagues are really sorry for offending you in the basement yesterday. That giant python
doesn't eat humans, they just wanted to scare you."
"Why are you apologizing to me?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Because we're scared! We thought the boss hated your guts, but who would've thought he cared so
much about you!" The bodyguard said helplessly, "I know you probably hate our boss now, and I'm not
here to defend him. I just hope you won’t take it out on my colleagues... they're incredibly loyal to the
boss..."
Violette responded weakly, "I just want to rest now."
"Oh...I'll go get the doctor to check on you," The bodyguard quickly left after saying that.
Soon, the doctor came to check her condition.
After taking her temperature and blood pressure, the doctor said:
"Ms. Dennis, you still have a slight fever! And you've lost a lot of blood, so you're quite anemic. You
must stay in bed for the next few days and avoid catching a cold. You're very weak right now, and your
leg is seriously wounded . The wound is quite large, and it might leave a scar."
She could clearly feel that her body was very weak.
When she woke up, she tried to lift her leg, but she couldn't.
Even though she was awake, she was as good as bedridden.
She had no strength or energy.
Thinking of anyone or anything didn't stir any emotional response in her.
When a person was weak to a certain extent, this was what happened.
"I'll go ask the maid to cook some oatmeal for you," After saying that the doctor left the room.
Violette lay in bed, staring blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.
The light from outside shone in, making the glass facets of the chandelier shimmer brightly.
But inside her, it was all darkness, with no light in sight.
Not long after, a horn blew from outside.
A black Rolls-Royce pulled to a stop in the front yard.
Elijah got out of the car with long strides.
Upon hearing this, Elijah quickly entered the mansion.
The maid was about to go upstairs with a bowl of oatmeal.
Seeing Elijah, she immediately said, "The doctor told me to cook oatmeal for Ms. Dennis." Reąd at

Elijah took the bowl from the maid and headed upstairs.
He appeared at her bedside with the bowl of oatmeal.
Seeing him, she didn't show any expressions, but reflexively clenched her fists, on high alert.
Violette did open her mouth, but not to swallow the oatmeal he was feeding her, instead she said —
"I can eat by myself," Her voice was hoarse from the fever, but she was still stubborn.
