"... Sandrina fell down in the bathroom last night. She seemed to have broken the mirror when she fell. Many places on her body were scratched by the fragments of the mirror. I heard that she was covered in wounds when she went to the medical room. Blood, Mrs. Michelle was shocked when she saw her appearance when she was called up!"
Hearing what this slightly unfamiliar maid said, Maka couldn't help but be stunned, and then said apologetically:
"Oh! It seems that maybe my fault is involved in this matter - I shouldn't have let her take a bath to relieve herself when she was sleepy so casually!"
Although the maid told her about the mirror as soon as she opened her mouth, Maka did not expect that the actual situation could not be explained simply by saying "I fell in the bathroom."
Even though he had confirmed that he was fully prepared for isolation last night, some abnormal conditions still spread from his room in ways he didn't know.
And just when Maka thought it was just an accident and was feeling quite annoyed for her random suggestions last night, the maid who came here in place of Sandrina leaned slightly and said:
"Mr. MacLean, please don't feel guilty about this! Because I think Sandrina definitely didn't blame you or anything - you see! The reason why I came here on her behalf today is because I went to see her in the morning At that time, she asked me to help you read the newspaper!"
"Really?" Maka couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, "But no matter what, I'm afraid I have some responsibilities. Well, after breakfast, I'll go visit her too! By the way, I'll give her some effects A better potion."
"How is this possible! Sir, you are the most distinguished guest of our Blois family. This is what the head of the family has personally warned... Sandrina is just a maid, and it is not worthy of Sir taking time out of his busy schedule to see her. Hers! And, after all, it was just some trauma."
"It's fine."
Maka waved her hand towards the other party, then picked up the tableware again and continued to taste today's still rich French breakfast.
Beside him, the maid saw that Maka was starting to eat again, so she had to shut up and stop talking. As a qualified maid, of course, she must not disturb her master or guests while they are dining. Yes, you should only speak when the other party needs it. This is common sense.
So, in the following time, Maka's breakfast time was no different from usual. While he was eating, he was flipping through French magic newspapers. Occasionally, he would ask the maid politely when he encountered unfamiliar French words.
A moment later, when Ginny and others, who were more accustomed to getting up early, came to the restaurant, he had already put down the tableware and wiped his mouth with a wet towel.
"Good morning!"
Putting the towel back on the tray in the maid's hand, Maka said good morning to Ginny, who arrived first. Seeing that he was about to get up and leave, Ginny immediately asked:
"Maka, are you going out so early today again?"
"Oh, no! I heard that the maid who helps me read the newspaper fell down last night and was a little injured, so I planned to go and see her."
When Ginny heard what he said, she couldn't help but worry a little:
"Is she okay then?"
"Of course it's okay," Maka smiled at the person who looked back at her as she passed behind the armchair where Ginny was sitting. "Besides, I was just about to go there!"
Although the maid from before wanted to accompany Maka to the ward, Maka still didn't let her follow.
You know, there are actually not many maids in the Chateau Blois. They are usually very busy - especially in the morning, the daily cleaning and gardening are surprisingly time-consuming.
The salary of the Blois family is not low. Since they work here, of course they are very serious. Maka does not want to waste their time.
Not long after, he walked alone through the atrium garden planted with flowers by Willy and went to the castle on the opposite side. The medical room and wards of Fort Blois are in the area on the right after entering.
"Tuk-tuk."
The ward where Sandrina is located is not difficult to find, because no one is usually injured... By the way, Mrs. Michelle, the family therapist in charge of medical affairs here, is actually quite idle.
"Please come in."
Hearing the familiar response from the ward, Maka opened the door and walked in. Sure enough, although this was a ward with six beds, Sandrina was the only one in it.
"Ah! Mr. McClain? You... why are you here?"
As soon as she saw Maka coming, Sandrina was about to get out of bed. Seeing this, Maka waved her hand gently, and used a gentle force to let her lean back on the pillow behind her.
"If you are a wounded person, just stay in the hospital bed!" Maka said, and then turned around and said, "You can still move. It seems that the injury is recovering well..."
While talking, Maka had already walked to her hospital bed and naturally sat down on the round stool next to her.
"Oh, by the way! Thank you for remembering to ask your colleague to help me read the newspaper for you... With you translating unfamiliar words for me every morning these days, I can read more and more articles alone."
"No, it's nothing."
Perhaps because she was not used to talking to people while lying on the bed, Sandrina seemed a little uncomfortable. However, she responded immediately to Maka's words:
"Mr. MacLean is smart enough. I am just providing you with a incomplete dictionary."
To be honest, Maca still felt a little uncomfortable with Sandrina's answer - even if she worked as a maid, she had set her position too low. At this point, There are obvious differences even with her colleagues.
Hmm... If I have to say it, isn't this state the human version of a house elf
However, Maka, who noticed this situation, put the matter aside for the time being. Because if he just came to visit and send a bottle of magic potion or something, Maka would still have some time, but if he meddles in his own business, he wouldn't have that time in his current state.
"Sandrina," Maka thought for a while, then changed the subject again, "Actually, I want to apologize to you by the way - I asked you to take a bath last night when you were already very sleepy. Buzhou—come on, drink this, and you’ll be able to go to the ground soon.”
At this point, seeing that Sandrina wanted to refuse immediately, he raised his hand first and said:
"Don't worry too much, it's not a very expensive thing—"
"No, that's not the case."
Sandrina hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say this.
