Once done, she was about to turn and go out of the room to check if the brunch was ready. But her gaze caught something at the corner of the bed. She turned to look properly and there was a file kept beside the pillow half-hidden. She walked to check it. Taking the files in her hands she at once whispered to herself, "This file … it's not something that I brought to her. Then?"

Her ethics as an assistant restrained her from opening it to check, but her concern for the girl was urging her to check once. What if inside the file there is some hint to understand the ongoing thoughts of the girl? Wouldn't it be better to know it then?

She dwelled on the two options and in the end, couldn't prevent herself from bending towards the latter. Taking a deep breath in, she opened the file and her brows tugged together in confusion reading the content in it. "Elite marriage law! Why is she even reading this now?"

Lillian had no idea, but in the file, there was everything regarding it. From its year of foundation to the ways to cancel it. There was everything. But why was she even looking into all this? She had no idea. She was flipping pages over pages when her eyes caught something highlighted on one of the pages.

[The elite marriage deed would become void if, for some reason, Party B (i.e. wife) passes away.]

"Why has she highlighted this specific part of the content. What is she even thinking?" She said to herself when she heard the door of the bathroom suddenly opening behind. In haste, she quickly put down the file from where she has picked it before and then turned to look at the woman.

"Have you already done?" She asked and Zhang Xiaotong stared at her with a frown to which she further defined her words to say, "Done with your routine? If you are done, then I will go and bring you the food. You might be famished. It's already afternoon." She said looking at her watch while giving a weird smile.

Zhang Xiaotong looked at her and her eyes showed skepticism for the assistant. "You are near my bed. What were you doing?"

Lillian looked back at the bed and then shrugged her shoulder. "What could I do? I was just helping you proper the bedsheets. Nothing else." She said, before taking her steps to walk away from the side of the bed. "By the way, I have already taken away the medicines. Are you sure that you won't be needing it any longer?"

Zhang Xiaotong didn't reply to her instead walked to her bedside, before bending to check something. Lillian saw her attempt but didn't say anything. At the moment, she doesn't want it to be obvious to the girl. At least not until she confirms things with the doctor.

Only after checking the file down her pillow did Zhang Xiaotong turn around to nod. "I am good. You can take them away. I won't need it anymore." She said and Lillian nodded, feigning understanding.

"Also, you can go and bring me the brunch. Until then I will go and change for the day." She added and the assistant nodded with a smile before walking out of the room.

Once Lillian walked out of the room, Zhang Xiaotong was the first to turn around and take away the file before walking to keep it in the wardrobe. But little did she know that from the corner of the corridor, Lillian had already seen her secretive actions.

"Xiaotong, what are you thinking now? And why are not sharing it with me this time?" Lillian mumbled to herself as finally turning back she walked away to check the things in the kitchen. She would have to ask the doctor first. Maybe, he would have the replies for the changed behavior of the girl.

When the assistant went to check in the kitchen, the chef working inside asked her to wait for some time. So, while waiting outside, Lillian made the call to the doctor to check and booked an appointment with him. But while she was on the call with him, she didn't realize that someone was already there, standing behind her, hearing her talk.

"Okay, doc. Then I will come and detail you everything. It would be inconvenient for me to say it all on the call". She said and hearing the other side agree, she disconnected the call. But her body stiffened when she saw a shadow looming over hers on the floor.

"X-Xiaotong, you are …" Guessing it to be Xiaotong, she turned to explain the things beforehand but paused when she saw that it was not the one, she has thought of. Keeping her head low, she greeted, "Mrs. Zhang, sorry, I thought it was Ms. Zhang."

Zhang Qian Lan didn't mind her words, instead asked very straightforwardly, "Lillian, what is it all about?" Her voice, inquiring about certain things.

Lillian stiffened at her questions. Slowly and slowly her complexion lost its color as she stuttered out, "Mrs. Zh-Zhang, there isn't anything. I was just consulting a few things with the doctor. There is nothing to worry about." She said but at her words, Zhang Qian Lan's expression only hardened.

"Lillian, I hope I don't have to remind you every time about your job. And also, not every time would there be a second chance.. I will ask again. What was that all about?"
