Scarlett was still feigning illness on the soft Sealy mattress, while the Female Officer beside her fed her water.
Suddenly, a servant rushed in, "Your Highness Princess, Your Highness Princess..."
Before Scarlett could speak, the Female Officer by her side immediately understood her intent and scolded with a stern face, "What is this commotion? Can't you see Her Highness is not feeling well?"
"It's... Prince Willie has returned, he is now downstairs drinking coffee with Young Master Lyle, asking for Your Highness to join them."
"What did you say? My Daddy is back?" Scarlett's expression changed rapidly, a hint of panic flashing through her almond eyes.
"Yes, Prince Willie has just returned to the country," the servant replied honestly, unaware of her panic.
Scarlett's fingers involuntarily clutched at the bedsheets beneath her, her gaze flickering wildly.
