"Miss Grant, I need to step out for a moment. The cat from upstairs got loose."
Ella raised an eyebrow. "Suit yourself."
She knew it! How could someone like Mary Johnson, just a young girl, afford to run such a place? There must be some big shot backing her.
As for that big shot...
Ella Grant took a deep breath, sensing a familiar scent in the air. It felt like someone she knew.
Meanwhile, Mary Johnson hurried upstairs and was shocked to see a man lying on the floor.
"Seventh Master!"
The man on the ground was none other than Lenn Pei.
Mary rushed over and helped Lenn onto the bed.
"Is your heart acting up again?"
Lenn nodded, his face pale and his lips devoid of color, barely able to muster the strength to speak.
Mary was frantic, unsure of what to do.
"Medicine."
Lenn managed to say.
Finally remembering, Mary dashed to the vanity and pulled out a bottle of pills from the drawer.
Lenn swallowed the medicine directly and slowly began to calm down.

"It's fine, just find the medicine quickly. I can hold on," Lenn Pei instructed.
Mary Johnson wanted to say something more when suddenly Emily screamed from below.
"Oh no! I forgot about Miss Grant!"
Lenn looked up.
"Which Miss Grant?"

A slight smile crept across Lenn's lips, giving him a sickly yet striking beauty that left Mary momentarily speechless.
If she had seen anyone who could rival Elle Grant, it was rare to find a woman, but as for men, there was one who came to mind—Lenn himself.
"Seventh Master, I'll go check on her," Mary said.
Lenn nodded.
As Mary disappeared at the end of the hallway, Lennox turned his gaze toward the window.
A gentle breeze stirred the curtains, and before he knew it, a petite figure appeared on the windowsill.
"How coincidental."
Lenn Pei smiled and greeted Ella Grant.
Seeing Lennox looking so weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, Ella frowned. This man had really let himself go, which was so unlike him.
"Not a coincidence at all. I came specifically to see you."
Ella strutted down from the
