“You’re leaving already, sir?”
The helper was going to bring a pot of tea in but saw Rickard coming out while carefully closing the
door.
“Yes.” Rickard nodded. “Don’t tell him I came here. How is he? The doctor said he’s better, but I’d like
to
know from you.”
The helper nodded. “He is a lot better and is very much in stable condition. He doesn’t wake up in the
middle of the night anymore all thanks to Mrs. Duval’s medication…”
The helper realized that she had made a mistake when she mentioned Hesper, so she corrected
herself.” I mean Ms. Rivera.”
“It’s fine. Thank you.” Rickard didn’t have more to say, so he said, “Grandpa and Aunt Curie are old, so
don’t let them watch live streams too late into the night. There’ll be a rerun after that.”
“Hmm?” The helper didn’t understand. A live stream? What was he watching?
She was still confused as she watched Rickard disappear around the corner. She looked at the pot in
her hands then turned to change it to ginger tea to bring over to Ernest and Wendy.
When she walked in, the two were watching something on the phone. It was getting dark but the lights.
weren’t on, so the light from the screen cast colors on their faces.
“Sir, ma’am?”
The helper called out to them and turned on the lights.
Were they like this when Rickard was there? They looked like they were addicted to the internet. They Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
were discussing the show which seemed quite interesting.
“Oh, Yann, cover over here.” Ernest even put on his reading glasses. When he heard Yanis’s voice, he
waved his hand at her. “You’re young enough so I’m sure you know more than us. Look, the screen is
black. Does that mean we can’t watch this anymore?”
Yanis walked over and saw Hesper covering the camera and immediately understood why they were
so interested in the stream. Even though she didn’t know what had happened previously, she guessed
that Hesper was going to sleep and so she covered the cameras, and that was why the screen went
black.
“Yes, there’s nothing to see anymore. Ms. Rivera is probably going to sleep.” Yanis remembered what
Rickard said so she explained. “There’ll be a rerun. The live stream takes a lot of time and Ms. Rivera
isn’t always on screen. You can wait till the edited version is out.”
Ernest nodded and nudged Wendy, who was sitting next to him. “There’s nothing more to watch. Let’s
wait till tomorrow.”
Yanis placed the teapot down and left feeling different.
She worked for affluent families for a long time and there was always family drama, people framing
each other. It was rare to see such a wholesome scene among rich families.
