Serena awoke slowly to the knock on the door in the bright morning. She yelled, "Come in," stepping aside for someone.
"Good morning. I'm sorry I was assigned Don Benigno's to deliver breakfast to the room," Samuel remarked with a smile to Belladonna's late daughter.
She opened the blanket accidentally, shifting her painful shoulder, saying, "Well, just put it on the table and allow me to eat there." Ouch! Serena cried foul.
Samuel whispered, "You'd better stay in bed so I can feed you."
Serena was puzzled that Ryan McCarthy, who usually feeds her, was not in her bed this morning. "Where's my husband?" she inquired.
"Your spouse just sent a message to tell us to take care of you and not go somewhere else since he had to go on business and Sebastian was accompanying him to his office."
