Chapter 42 - 42

He placed the breakfast in front of her.

"Don't call me Uncle. I'm not your uncle." He said while he arranged the dishes.

"Then, what shall I call you?" She innocently asked.

"Just whatever, but not Uncle. I'm not old enough to be your Uncle!" He said with dissatisfaction.

"Okay, brother. But, how old are you?" Louise started to drink the porridge in front of her.

"I just turned 25." He said.

"Ohhh. Sorry, I thought you were the same age as my father." She scooped the porridge and ate while she talked.

"He was just 45 when he passed away and you were 12 at that time." He reminisced

He was very young when he first met Jonas but it didn't deter their friendship.

" So, I'm turning into an adult now? I really missed out on life..." She said with a pity.

"Yes. So, what will you do now?" He asked. Actually, he was thinking that if she wakes up, he will help her with her studies.

" Can I do anything?" She asked. Her face looks very serious.

"That depends, but for me, I want you to study. You have to make up for your studies..." He said while looking at her serious face.

"Can I?" She asked hopefully. She wanted to study. When he asked her what are her plans, she thought of studying first.

"Yup. You can. I can hire you a home tutor to keep you up until highschool." He said thoughtfully. He's glad that she thought of studying.

"Then can you arrange for me? I will study hard." She said while raising her palm as if making a promise.

"Sure but it depends on wether you will complete your therapy or not." Augustus raised her brow. He looked like he was challenging her.

"Of course I can! Who do you think I am?" She got agitated by his reaction. She angrily poked the chicken by her spoon and bit hardly.

"Then, we'll see." Augustus was amused by her reaction. 

They continued their breakfast without any more talking.

After their breakfast, the attending physician of Louise knocked on the door with Brandon in tow.

"Good Morning Master Ye." The doctor greeted him first as he knew his identity.

Augustus just nodded. Not bothering to look and kept his focus on the dishes.

When Brandon saw his friend, his lips twitched.

This young master never washed dishes given his identity but when it comes to Louise, he seems know no boundaries.

Is this really true love? He doubted.

He's just trying to show that he's reliable.

The doctor didn't make a sound either or perhaps never in his wildest dreams that he can witness something like this.

Will he die tomorrow?

Hope not.
