Chapter 411 Are You Kidding Me?
Tessa turned and left Victor’s room<b>, </b>feelingpletely drained, like some poor little orphan.
Hopefully, Ste would find <b>her </b>mother soon and <b>clear </b>everything up<b>, </b>so she could finally have some peace in her life.
Victor watched her retreating figure<b>–</b>she didn’t even dare to argue back. Even from behind, he could sense her frustration.
He couldn’t help but let <b>a </b>small smile tug at the corners of his mouth…
Tessa went downstairs and dutifully cleaned up the kitchen.
Just <b>as </b>she <b>was </b>about to head back up, Ss showed up with arge bag in hand.
When he saw her, he greeted her respectfully, “Ma’am.”
Tessa <b>was </b>shocked.
<b>What </b><i>do </i><i>you </i><i>mean</i>, ma’am<i>? </i>That’s not who she was!
She remembered someone else calling her that too.
<b>Tessa </b>instinctively said, “I’m not a ma’am. Don’t call me that.”
<i>That </i>title made it sound like she and Victor had something going on. Which–just to be clear–they absolutely did not.
Ss smiled without responding.
“This is from Victor. He asked me to drop it off. Sorry to trouble you tomorrow morning.”
Compared to Lewis, at least Ss had a bit of emotional intelligence. He didn’t argue or cross any lines.
Tessa nced at the vegetables. Some of them she didn’t even recognize.
She asked Ss what they were called. As for how to cook them, she’d just have to follow the app tutorials like Victor had told her to.
When Ss saw there were a few things she still couldn’t identify, he looked a little worried. “Are you sure you can handle it?”
Tessa replied, “Yeah, I think I can.”
She’d learned how to make soup from the app. These dishes…. well, they mighte out a little rough the first time.
But they’d definitely be edible.
<b>Ss </b>nodded. “Alright then.”
“Oh, and Victor might run a fever tonight. Sorry, but could you keep an eye on him? He’s not allowed to take a bath.”
Every time Victor got injured, he insisted on showering afterward.
None of the staff could stop him.
But now there <b>was </b>a woman in the house<b>–</b>so things <b>were </b>different.
Tessa blinked. “Huh? How am I supposed to do that?<b>” </b>
Come on, she <b>was </b>a girl. <b>Was </b>she seriously supposed to watch a grown man and stop him from taking a shower?
<b>Ss </b>said, “Just keep an <b>eye </b>on him.”
<i>Keep</i>. <i>An</i><i>. </i><i>Eye</i><i>. </i><b><i>On</i></b><i>. </i><i>Him</i><i>? </i>
<b>Was </b>that <b>really </b>something she should be doing?

“I’m not his girlfriend.”
If someone was supposed to handle this<b>, </b>shouldn’t it be, you <b>know</b><b>, </b>his woman?
Ss replied. “But right now<b>, </b>you’re the only one living under the same roof as Victor. So, we’re counting on you.”
With every polite little <b>“</b>sorry <b>to </b>trouble you,” Tessa found herselfpletely unable to say no.
<b>“</b>If he <b>gets </b><b>a </b>fever tonight, <b>please </b>give him some medicine. If it doesn’t go down, then help him cool off physically.”
“Physically?”
Tessa’s brain stalled a bit.

What kind of instructions <b>were </b>these? It sounded more like she <b>was </b>supposed to take care of a child. And it sounded like a lot of work.
Ss rified, “Wipe <b>down </b>his skin with warm water.”
<b>Was </b><i>he </i><i>being </i>serious right now?
“His whole body?<b>” </b>
<b>“</b>Yeah. Just like how Victor wiped you down the other night.”
Silence fell.
Tessa stared at Ss and turned to stone<b>. </b>
Then <b>he </b>left.
She was the only one left standing there, frozen in ce. It took her a while to even process what she’d just heard.
What <b>did </b>Ss <i>say </i><i>just </i>now<i>? </i>
The other night, Victor had taken care of her that way? So that’s how her clothes got removed?
Her already unsettled heart was now in full chaos.
Especially thatst line from Ss–that she was supposed to take care of Victor the same way…
Physically cool him down<b>? </b><i>Wipe </i>his <i>whole </i><i>body</i>?
<b><i>Wait</i></b>, hold <i>on</i><i>… </i>
<b><i>Was </i></b><b>that </b><b><i>supposed </i></b>to <b><i>be </i></b>serious<b><i>? </i></b>
Over at Ste’s ce, she was gently wiping Abraham’s chest with a warm towel so he wouldn’t feel ufortable in the morning.
She had just poured the warm water down the drain in the bathroom when Tessa called.
“Ste, listen, <b>I </b>can’t do this.”
Ste: “Can’t do what?”
“I mean physically cooling down Victor! Everyone around him just bailed and dumped him on me. They told me to check on him in the middle of the night to <b>see </b>if he has a fever–and that kind of care…”
<b>Tessa’s </b>voice rose with agitation.
<b>“</b><b>Is </b>that <b>really </b>something I should be doing? Am I even qualified for this<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Did Victor’s people have <b>zero </bmon sense? They actually expected <b><i>her </i></b>to wipe down his whole body?

“It’s just a fever! <b>Does </b><b>it </b>really have to <b>be </b><b>this </bplicated?”
Tessa <b>was </b>going off so hard that <b>Ste </b>couldn’t even <b>get </b><b>a </b>word in.

Before she could respond, <b>Tessa </b><b>went </b>on, <b>“</b>And get this–it turns out the other night, Victor stripped me <b>because </b>of this<b>!</b><b>” </b>
