How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

However, Norbert didn't get angry. Instead, he even admitted his mistakes.

For Morwenna, there were no issues of status.

What was right was right, and what was wrong was wrong.

Morwenna spent a long time talking to Norbert. After seeing he had fallen asleep, she carefully covered him with a blanket and left the room with a mug filled with whiskey.

She called Orson over and instructed, “Orson, I have a task for you.”

Orson perked up. “Just say the word, Mrs. Hetfield.”

“Watch Mr. Norbert. Forget everything else. Make sure he doesn’t drink any alcohol.”

“You got it. Mission accepted.”

Orson was an aide given to Morwenna by Norbert. He listened to Morwenna, whether within the confines of the Hetfield's Homestead or outside.

Ironically, Morwenna ended up tasking Orson to watch Norbert.

Norbert hadn’t expected this. From then on, he couldn’t touch a drop of alcohol.

After giving her instructions, Morwenna headed to the kitchen.

She found some wheat flour, butter, and some nuts.

Making cookies wasn't too hard, but it required time to get the different flavors.

After everything was ready, she noted the time and went to the hospital.

Her days were busy, and though she was exhausted, Morwenna never complained. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the caregiver snapped impatiently, “Why are you so late? The patient hasn’t even cleaned up yet. Help her. I'm leaving.”

“Uh…” Before Morwenna could respond, the caregiver had hurried out.

Keira looked down as if she had done something wrong.

Morwenna approached softly. “Would you prefer I bring water here to freshen up, or would you like to go to the bathroom?”

Only then did Keira look up slowly.

Noticing Keira's dry, cracked lips, Morwenna frowned. “Haven’t you had water today?”

Keira timidly replied, “The day shift caregiver said drinking water wasn’t necessary with all the fluids I’m getting from the IV.”

Morwenna's frown deepened at the thought of the caregiver’s impatience. She got a glass of water and handed it to Keira.

Keira hesitantly looked at her.

“Drink.”

Keira quickly took it and drank it all in one go, then looked timidly back at Morwenna.

Morwenna encouraged, “Keira, what are you afraid of? You're the one in charge here. If you want water or food, you should ask for it directly. Don’t listen to others.”

Keira murmured, “It’s okay.”

Morwenna sighed, knowing she couldn't change ingrained traits couldn’t in one day.

Knowing she couldn't stand idly by while a caregiver mistreated her patient.

“Where are your parents?” Morwenna asked.

“They’re busy.”

“Do you have other family members who could look after you?”

“No, my brother and parents are abroad.”

Morwenna frowned again.

The daughter had fractured bones in an accident, and yet her family hadn’t come home.

Seeing Morwenna's displeasure, Keira quickly added, “I have a lot of money and can hire someone to look after me. I can take care of myself.”

Morwenna thought, “You’re not daring to drink water, yet claiming to be able to take care of yourself.”

At that moment, she wasn’t sure what to say and wasn’t in a position to suggest firing the day shift caregiver.

Morwenna sighed. “Alright, let’s get you cleaned up for now.”

Keira whispered, “I, um, I’d also like to change my clothes.”

Noticing the dirt on the cuffs of Keira's clothes, which she must have been wearing for days, Morwenna felt anger surging.

So much money, and yet such poor care?

Was it because she seemed easy to bully?

Morwenna helped Keira to the bathroom, had her sit on a chair, and placed her casted leg on a stool.

Then, she ran some warm water and began to wash Keira's hands and face.

Keira panicked slightly. “I can do it myself.”

Morwenna gave her a stern look.

Keira quietly complied.
