"Okay."
Mrs. Geoffrey gently placed Andrew in the middle of the bed. Since the bed was large, there was no need to worry about crowding.
After Rebecca Quentin went into the bathroom to shower, Mrs. Geoffrey took out her phone. She carefully moved to the farthest corner from the bathroom and made a call.
By the ti Rebecca Quentin finished her shower and ca back, Mrs. Geoffrey had already fallen asleep.
The whole day, she was worried about Marie’s surgery results. Now that Rebecca Quentin could finally relax, she felt a wave of fatigue...
She lay down on the other side of the bed, tucked in Mrs. Geoffrey and Andrew, and soon drifted off to sleep herself.
It’s unclear how long she slept before Mrs. Geoffrey shook her awake.
"Rebecca Quentin, bleary-eyed, asked Mrs. Geoffrey, "Auntie, what’s wrong?"
"Can you go next door and check? Howard Geoffrey seems to have co back."
Rebecca Quentin sat up puzzled, "Why should I go and check if he’s back?"
Mrs. Geoffrey said nervously, "I just heard a loud noise from next door and I’m not sure what happened."
"Was there a noise?"
"Yes, it sounded like sothing fell. Why don’t you go check? I’m worried!"
"There shouldn’t be anything wrong, right? There are so many hotel staff, and Jason Wood has always been with him."
"He went alone tonight, rember? Jason Wood brought us back."
"Uh..."
"Could you go take a look for ... Andrew is about to wake up, and I’m afraid if Andrew wakes up and doesn’t see , he’ll fuss again."
Rembering how Andrew cried last night, Rebecca Quentin nodded, "Okay."
Heading to the neighboring room, Rebecca Quentin was also puzzled about the noise Mrs. Geoffrey ntioned. She was contemplating how to explain knocking on Howard Geoffrey’s door in the middle of the night if nothing was amiss, but she saw that Howard Geoffrey’s door was ajar.
Recalling the noise Mrs. Geoffrey ntioned and seeing the open door made Rebecca Quentin instantly nervous.
She walked into the room, instinctively searching for Howard Geoffrey, only to find the room in complete disarray, with items scattered everywhere. Just as Rebecca Quentin’s drowsiness was completely frightened away by the scene, she saw Howard Geoffrey slouched on the bed...
Rebecca Quentin quickly approached, touched his hand, and upon feeling his body temperature and slling the scent of alcohol on him, she realized he was drunk.
Howard Geoffrey rarely gets drunk; as far as she rembers, she’s only seen him drunk once... People say he has a low tolerance, but she’s always thought he couldn’t possibly have a low tolerance because he loves wine so much. Even if it’s said he has a low tolerance, he keeps it well-hidden.
But tonight, he really seems to be drunk...
The ss outside was probably caused when he ca back and knocked things over, no wonder Auntie said there was noise from next door.
Why did he drink so much to get this drunk?
Rebecca Quentin was quite puzzled. It didn’t seem like there was any social event that would require him to get drunk, and he shouldn’t have any engagents in Y City either.
The strong sll of alcohol coming from him made Rebecca Quentin frown. If he sleeps like this without a blanket, he’ll catch a cold...
She tucked Howard Geoffrey in, initially intending to head back to her room. But seeing him lying uncomfortably on the bed, she couldn’t help but adjust his position.
After adjusting his position, she noticed his tie around his neck and buttoned-up shirt looked uncomfortable.
In the next instant, Rebecca Quentin got up and went to the bathroom to wring out a warm towel for him.
She loosened his tie, undid a few of his shirt buttons, and gently wiped him down.
His previously furrowed brow gradually relaxed under her touch, and he seed to start sleeping more soundly...
After wiping his upper body, Rebecca Quentin intended to wipe his face too, but when the towel touched his handso face, she gazed at him and hesitated.
Suddenly, she placed the towel aside, a scene of him and Alice Robinson together in love flashed through her mind.
If they were in France tonight, would Alice Robinson also be taking care of him like this?
Thinking of their intimacy, Rebecca Quentin’s chest was suddenly filled with a sour feeling.
He is now with Alice Robinson, and she sincerely wishes them well, but she never dares to imagine the intimacy between him and Alice Robinson...
She realizes it’s because her heart isn’t strong enough...
She didn’t allow herself to think too much, and with a sigh, she stood up.
Unexpectedly, as Rebecca Quentin turned, she was quickly pulled down by soone.
