Kapitel 41: A fool in love (2)

Beth glared at the disrespectful maid for not addressing her as Mrs Humphrey or Lady Beth as she instructed everyone to do. Now that Jack was going to propose to her, it was time to start weeding out the servants who would be fired.

"Send him in. Bring something for him to drink as the ride here must have been long. Would you like something to drink, Jack?" Beth asked.

"No. I want to be focused on what the doctor says. I might need to offer him something for saving your life in the past. You never told me what the incident was that he saved-"

"Doctor Chester!" Beth spoke over Jack. She stood up from sitting on Jack's lap to greet Chester. "I hope you were well with the long ride."
