FreeNovelChapter 998 Chapter 998 Rick barely glanced at Sophie before quickly looking away, saying, "Anyway, this has nothing to do with Ms. Elodie." "Con, Rick, stop covering for Mr. Gordon. If he didn't love Ms. Elodie to bits, why would he treasure the medicine she sent so much? Mr. Gordon couldn't even bring himself to take it just now!" Seeing William getting more and more out of hand, Rick stepped forward and pulled him aside, snapping, "What nonsense are you spouting in front of Mrs. Costello? If you ruin our master's reputation, you're dead meat!" William was scared into silence by Rick's threat.
This is bad.
He must have let slip Mr. Gordon's secret! Looks like he needs to keep his mouth shut from now on.
Sophie watched as Rick took William away, feeling even more confused.

Sophie immediately pushed open the door to find Gordon on the floor, his usually pale face now a rare sight of disarray.
"Mr. Gordon! Why did you get out of bed?" Sophie hurried over to help Gordon up.

He knew? Was there a surveillance camera at the door? Sophie turned around to see Gordon expressionless, the medicine still on the table.
Sophie asked, "Mr. Gordon, when you fainted today..." "Hmm?" Gordon looked up, his eyes deep and ins Whenever Sophie was тал alone with Gordon, she felt an, invisible pressure that made it hard for her to breathe.

"When you fainted today..." Sophie wanted to ask if he was calling her nat that time.
But upon meeting Gordon's eyes, she was too nervous to speak.
After all, asking a sick man if he was calling her nin his delirium was somewhat shameless.
Gordon seemed to notice Sophie's embarrassment and lightly smiled, saying. When I'm delirious, I tend to talk nonsense, don't mind it." Talk nonsense... huh? Sophie glanced at the medicine on the table again, saying, "Mr. Gordon, I didn't pregnow this medicine was so swnoy precious to you, I won't touch it next time." "Hmm."
Sophie urged, "But... if the medicine is meant to save lives, why not take it? e Even if it's from the most important person, it shouldn't lose its value." She could see that Gordon's condition was severe today.
