A Cue For Love

Chapter 1168 Threat

Natalie lay in bed weakly. Next to her was a young lady called Betty, who prostrated herself on the ground while holding a tray of food.

Despite her posture, Natalie averted her gaze elsewhere coldly, not bothering to spare her a glance. Timidly, Betty said, “Madam, you haven’t eaten in two days… If this continues, your health will suffer. If Master blames me for this, I…”
