Waiting For Your Confession

Chapter 8 [Sir, Your Wife Is Sick]

Bark! Bark! Bark!

Sana woke up from a deep sleep when she heard the barking of a dog. She turned her head and looked at her bedside. As expected, she saw Chu Wu sitting close by.

"Arf!" The first thing Sana sees when she woke up was Chu Wu wagging his tail at her.

"Chu Wu, how'd you get in?" Sana sat up in a daze. She felt a little off, and her head seemed heavy. Sana took her phone from the bedside table to check the time and found that it was already 10:00 a.m. in the morning.

Jolting, she suddenly said out loud: "How come I've slept so long?"

Sana rubbed her forehead and walked to the bathroom to wash her face. Afterward, she wore a big shawl and went downstairs with Chu Wu.

Aunty Zhang, who had been cleaning the living room, saw the happy Chu Wu running downstairs, followed by Sana. Nervous, she apologized:

"Madam, did Chu Wu wake you up? I'm sorry I didn't keep an eye on him and accidentally let him run in."

"It's alright. I needed to get up anyway." Sana replied with a smile.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Noticing Sana's lethargic behavior, Aunty Zhang asked Sana about her health.

"Maybe I drank too much and exposed myself to the cold wind yesterday. It's probably just a small cold." Sana went to sit on the sofa, with Chu Wu running towards her and sitting next to her feet. With a smile, Sana reached out and touched Chu Wu's head.

"Do you want to go to the hospital to check?" Aunty Zhang asked.

"No, No, there's no need to go to that much trouble. Do we have any cold medicine? I'll just take a tablet and sleep some more." Sana replied.

"Oh, yes, there's some powdered medicine. I'll go get it now." Aunty Zhang went out of the living room and came back with a medicine box. Taking out the box of cold medicine, she put it in some water and then gave the cup to Sana.

"Thank you." Sana took a sip.

"Madam, I'll go cook you some porridge." Aunty Zhang said, "People with colds usually don't have appetites, but you have to eat."

"Sorry for the trouble, Aunty Zhang." Sana thanked her with a smile.

"It's no trouble, no trouble. It's what I should be doing." Flattered, Aunty Zhang waved her comments away and went into the kitchen to cook some porridge.

Because of her cold, Sana had no strength. But she didn't want to sleep again, so Sana simply nested on the sofa, drinking her medicine as she patted Chu Wu and watched the news together.

Meanwhile, Aunty Zhang placed a pot on the stove and after the water boiled, she lowered the flame. While she waited for the porridge to cook, Aunty Zhang was afraid that Sana was getting hungry, so she brought out a few snacks for Sana to eat.

"Aunty Zhang, you're very considerate." Sana couldn't help but say.

"Madam, you're being too kind. Isn't this what I should be doing?" Aunty Zhang smiled.

"When did you start working here Aunty Zhang?" Truthfully, Sana knew that Aunty Zhang came to work here a year ago. However, they haven't spent a lot of time together yet, so she pretended to not know.

"I've been here for about a year." As she answered Shen Xi's questions, Aunty Zhang wiped the table with a rag.

"Do you like working here?"

"I'm used to it, and I like it. Mr. Chou is nice and I get well-paid. I start at 9:00 a.m. and I can be home by dinner. I don't have long work hours and I can go home and tuck my children to bed at night." Aunty Zhang's huge smile showed that she clearly liked her job.
