A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

In the garden, Carlos was sitting on a chair and enjoying the fresh air when he overheard two servants talking.

"Did you hear? Miss Shen volunteered to make breakfast," one servant said.

"I know. I even saw it with my own eyes. She dismissed the kitchen staff to the living room," the other replied while sweeping the floor.

"Well, do you..."

Carlos could not hear the rest of the conversation. He was stunned. 'Cherish volunteered to make breakfast?' he thought. 'Is it possible she caused the commotion there just now?'

With that thought, Carlos rushed as fast as he could to the kitchen. Could something bad have happened to Cherish? His heart began pounding against his chest. He was worried.

Cherish was no longer in the kitchen when Carlos got there. He was about to go to her room when he found her sitting in the living room.

He strode over and barked, "Are you insane? What were you doing trying to cook in the kitchen? Do you even know how to do that?"

Cherish was tending to her burns when Carlos started yelling. She raised her head to look at him in confusion.

Seeing her in a daze, Carlos could not help yelling some more. "You little fool!"

He pulled Cherish up, turned her around, and examined her carefully. Other than the burns on her hands, she was fine. Carlos was able to relax a little.

"Are you hurt?" Carlos asked after noticing the open first aid kit on the table. He spoke in such a worried voice that even he himself did not recognize.

Cherish could only stare blankly at Carlos' distraught face.

'Why is he so upset? Is it just me or does he finally care?' she thought.

"Cherish, are you hurt?" Carlos asked again when Cherish did not answer.

'What happened to her? Can she not hear me?' he wondered.

Carlos waved his hand in front of Cherish's eyes but she still did not respond. He cursed under his breath and took out his phone to call for help.
