Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: She is Sick

“Sir! Madam and Master are not at home. We can not allow you inside.” The maids looked at a loss as they stared at the cold man with the intimidating aura.

They remembered him vividly. Six months ago, he visited them with a doctor and took Nora away.

Master and mistress have been furious since then. It had taken them a lot of effort to bring Nora back. They would go crazy if they found out that Nora had left again with this man.

Even though the maid did not have the power, she fought with her life.

“You can return once the master comes back. Or you can leave a number. I will ask him to call you back. But I can not let intruders inside in his absence. Please be reasonable, sir. I will lose my job.” In the end, she cried. Her voice was teary and she looked like she would die if he entered their house.

Any gentleman would hesitate. Once Alric would leave, she would inform the master and madam about him. They could handle the rest.

“Please!” her lips quivered and she bit them hard looking anxious.

Alric only stared at her with a gaze that could kill. His eyes were so cold and dark that no warmth or respect could be felt in them.

“If you are not going to lose your job because Nora is sick and yet you did not take care of her. Why should I care if you lose your job because of me? You do not deserve this job anyway.” The maid was stunned. She still blocked the way but Alric was already in.

There was no force that could stop him. On the phone, her voice was breaking apart. And she was coughing. God knows how much she had suffered in just a day.

His tall figure and strong presence made the room smaller instantly. He walked in the corner room which looked nothing more than a matchstick. But frowned when he found the room empty.

Even the bed was taken from there and now the room was changed into a storage room.

Frowning, he took the steps.

“Please, sir! I have to call the police if you do not leave. I implore that..” three maids were following him.

He could hear them. But their words did not register in his mind. He jumped two stairs at once and opened another door.

That was where she was on that night. But that room was empty too. It was dark and gloomy just like his eyes.

“Where the hell is she?” he glared at the maids who flinched. They regretted following him closely.

“We… that…” the maid was too scared to reply. If she told him about Nora, the master would fire all of them.

But if she did not, she was afraid that he would kill them with only his glare.

Instinctively, she stared at another door with a gulp. Alric followed her gaze and snickered.

“No, you can not go there.” she warned frantically but it only confirmed his thoughts.

He went to the door and opened but the door was locked from inside.

“Nora..” Alric knocked at the door twice.

“Nora..” he called loudly when the door did not open. Wild thoughts started to cloud his brain.

What if she was unconscious? Or what if she had heard him but she was so sick that she could not move to open the door.

What if she did not have any water or food. What if they have poisoned him? As a thin figure suffering from pain and looking pale, flashed in front of his eyes, he could not control himself anymore.

Glaring at the door, he pushed it hard with his shoulders. Once, twice, twice. The door started to shake like a dry leaf on a windy night.

Just when he was about to push it again with more force, the door suddenly opened.

The maids shouting at the background paused at once. They looked stunned.

Alric froze at once. When the door suddenly opened, he stumbled and lost his balance. But he did not fall on the ground as he had expected.

A cold yet soft body was beneath him. His hands were on the soft mounds that seemed to be melting under his touch. His eyes widened and met hers. He could feel her bare skin. She was not wearing clothes but a loosened bathrobe was hardly hiding her body.

It ended up on her thighs so he could feel the touch of her bare legs. With the fall, the robe slipped from her shoulders. He could not only feel those mounds but see a good amount of it.

His eyes burnt strangely. He felt a strange twitch in his body. Despite the coldness of her body, Alric felt heat all over. His body started to burn and his gaze darkened. His Adam apple bobbed and his grip on her body tightened.

She was staring at him equally stunned. But when his fingers moved and held her tightly, Nora finally blinked. As if she had just returned to reality..

“Alric!” her voice was full of disbelief when he blinked too. With her hair splayed, she looked so vulnerable and tiny. Her cold aura was nowhere to be seen.

“Nora!” His voice was soft as a whisper. She did not struggle yet and he took no initiative to move. He stared at her forehead covered with sweat.

Her face looked ashen. Her lips were parched and chapped. Her body was so cold!

“What happened to you?” he repeated in a low voice. His face was full of worries that stunned her again. Looking at the anxiety in his eyes, Nora could not respond.

“What is happening here?” a low growl took their attention. Nora’s head snapped at the door where Sohpia and Penny were standing with a dark look on their faces.

Alric’s eyes turned cold again. He stood up at once. And then he helped Nora in standing up.

“She is sick. Yet no doctor was called or medicines were offered. Why?” Sophia frowned.
