Chapter 29 A Death Wish

I knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Thus, I hesitated for a while before I yelled through the door, “Mr. Hartnell? Dominic, it’s time to have some food.”

However, only silence greeted me.

Could it be that he died in his sleep? Worrying that something untoward would happen, I said, “I’m coming in.”

With that, I turned the knob and realized that the door wasn’t locked.

 

Once I entered the room, I saw Dominic lying on the bed without a blanket.

Given his eyes were closed, I guessed he was sleeping.

 

I came up to him, unsure if I ought to wake him up.

After all, I was worried that he would reprimand me if I disturbed his sweet dream.

However, I also remembered that he wanted me to inform him when the food was ready.

I felt conflicted, thinking that he would scold me regardless of what I did.

As I observed him up close, I couldn’t help but think that God was unfair.

I wondered why he didn’t have any wrinkles on his face at his age. Besides, he had even become a wealthy bachelor, as if God had given him all the good qualities a man could have.

As I bent over and lowered my gaze, I gradually realized that something was wrong with Dominic.

At that moment, he looked pale-faced with sweat all over his forehead.

Is he sick?

I then lifted my hand to touch his face, and it was cold as ice.

Anxious, I kneeled beside the bed to give Dominic a nudge while yelling, “Dominic, wake up. How do you feel?”

Fortunately, he was awake after I shouted a few times. I immediately asked if he was feeling unwell.
