For the next two days, Dray was nowhere to be seen.
He had moved out of the apartment, as if forgetting that there was a man with serious injuries who needed to be taken care of at home.
Soon, the news reached Old Master Xander's ears.
The old man shouted that he wanted to personally question his grandson, but was turned away at the door of Dray's company.
This angered the old man so much that he was sent to the hospital on the spot, and Eli stayed with him overnight.
During this time, Dan wanted to say something several times, but seeing Dray's gloomy and cold face, he swallowed his words back.
On this day, Dan came in with an unpleasant look on his face and in a hurry.
"Master Li, something terrible has happened... Master Sky, he... he's probably not going to make it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man who was working at his desk raised his deep and bottomless eyes.
Dan's voice trembled with fear as he felt Dray's cold and piercing gaze.
"It was... Aunt Mary who reported it. She said that Master Sky hasn't had any water for days and nights, can't eat his medicine, and has a fever every day. She said that based on Miss Sky's current condition, with more air going out than coming in, he's probably... probably not going to make it..."
"Prepare the car." Dray hesitated for only a second before getting up.
"Let Cory through," the man's voice was even lower and colder than a few days ago, and he quickly walked out with a stern face.
Dan suddenly realized that Master Li was going to see Master Sky!
Soon, the car stopped below the apartment.
As soon as Dray stepped into the apartment, a piercing scream suddenly came from the second floor.
His brow furrowed, and his face was as cold as an iceberg.
He saw Aunt Mary being pulled down from the stairs by Eli, who was holding her by the back of her collar.
Eli saw Dray and his expression became serious. "Young Master Li, I just saw her sneaking around in your room and stealing things."
Eli continued, "Master had mentioned to me before to keep an eye on Aunt Mary. Unfortunately, I was busy at the hospital and forgot about it. It's probably because of her deliberate negligence that things have turned out this way."
Eli was sent by Old Master Xander and naturally wouldn't falsely accuse a servant without reason.
But after hearing Eli's words, Dray's face became extremely gloomy.
Because he remembered the night when he had accused Sky of stealing things from upstairs, looking down on him with cold indifference.
At first, the boy's face showed a fleeting look of surprise and sadness, but then he burst into tears.
But as he cried, he refused to explain any further, as if he had accepted his accusation.
And at that time, he was even more convinced that he was a man with dirty hands and feet and a greedy nature.
Aunt Mary: "No, no... Master Li, I'm innocent! You have to believe me. I've been serving the Li family for so many years and I've never done anything like this! It's Mr. Xiao! He saw that Master wasn't feeling well and wanted to find someone to take the blame! I swear on my conscience that I've done my best to take care of Master. It's not that I neglected him on purpose, it's because he... he wouldn't eat or drink, and no matter how much medicine we gave him, he wouldn't take it, which is why he kept running a high fever..."
Aunt Mary cried out, swearing to the heavens and the earth.
She struggled to crawl out from under Eli's grasp, trying to grab onto Dray's pants leg and beg for mercy.
But her cries for injustice only tore at Dray's heart even more, his face growing colder by the second.
"Master Li, you have to believe me...you have to..."
Dray's eyes narrowed, and he kicked Aunt Mary away as she tried to reach for him.
As he watched her writhing in agony on the ground, Dray's eyes remained devoid of any warmth.
"Dan, check the second floor surveillance. And tell Cory that if he can't make it here in ten minutes, he needn't bother coming back."
The chill emanating from Dray was palpable, until he reached the upstairs room and saw the lifeless form of the small man lying in bed.
The anger in his eyes slowly dissipated.
"Sky..."
Dray approached him and took his small, fragile hand in his.
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to die."
