Chapter 3

A knock occurred at this moment, and from beyond the door came the voice of the housekeeper Freddy, who said, "Master."

“Come in,” Holden said with a tiny raise of his thin lips.

“Master, grandma,” Freddy pushed in.

“How should I proceed?”

By the bed, Holden stood tall. The man stood at a height of 1.87 meters. He wore a basic white lining and black pants, but the costly cloth seemed like it was handcrafted, and he was as tall as a jade with an exceptional attitude.

Holden dropped his gaze, deftly turning the gleaming silver button on his shirt's sleeve with his fingertips. “You don't know, there are two wolves in the backyard of Green Garden,” he casually observed Elena. If you attempt to be clever... I'll put you in charge of feeding them?”

Elena's chest constricted. The elders arranged for this marriage. Darenvil's four giants, the Lu, Gu, Huo, and Su families.

With only his hands, the Lu family's young master filled the sky. According to legend, he is the youngest and most attractive of his generation of business executives, but no one has seen his actual face, which remains a mystery to everyone in the city.

Green Garden is secluded, and at first look, it does not appear to be an affluent household. The Xia family dispatched investigators to Green Garden, only to discover that there are two grandparents living there, and that this grandson is also the sick ghost, according to local traditions.

Yuna's greatest ambition is to marry her two daughters into Darenvil's four giants. As a result, Yuna wished to uncover the Xia family's ancestral tombs and inquire as to how and why the elders scheduled this marriage with a ghost figure.

Yuna couldn't bear the notion of sacrificing her daughter to marriage, so she sent her back to marry a sick man.

So, in Elena's mind, the man in front of her was not a high-ranking person, but she was perplexed at the time.

People couldn't help but adore the guy in front of her, who radiated a feeling of lofty stare, exhibiting a sense of coldness and elegance from his bones, exactly like a monarch delivering instructions.

He also raises wolves in his garden, which is not a popular pastime among the public.

Elena started to speak, but the guy abruptly placed his hands on the table and squinted his gorgeous eyes, displaying a pained look.

Yuna didn't want her daughter to marry at all, but Zander was a feudal and dutiful man who refused to break the elders' marriage contract.

Yuna realized she couldn't marry without sacrificing her daughter, so she returned to marry a sick guy.

So, while Elena was aware that the man in front of her was not a high-ranking official, she was perplexed at the time.

People couldn't help but adore the guy in front of her, who had a lofty look and radiated coolness and elegance from his bones, as if he were a monarch issuing instructions.

He also raises wolves in his backyard, which is not for the average person's pleasure.

Elena started to speak, but the guy abruptly placed his hands on the table and squinted his attractive eyes, displaying a pained look.

The butler's face altered dramatically, and he hurriedly announced, "Master, I'm going to contact the doctor right now!"

Elena's brilliant eyes shifted downward, and his two large hands, which were lying on the tabletop, were already moving erratically, as if they were symptoms of some weird sickness.

Is he unwell?

Furthermore, if there is any sickness, it is a horrible one.

Elena collided with the man's narrow scarlet eyes at this point. “Ask her to go now!” Holden shouted to the housekeeper as he turned to face her.

“Madam, hurry up and leave now,” the butler urged hastily.

Elena realized she wouldn't be able to escape. She had come from Xia's house with a purpose this time, and she need the identity of the Green Garden bride.

Elena stared at Holden with sparkling eyes and said flatly, "You're ill, what's the matter?" I have a basic understanding of medicine and am skilled in acupuncture and moxibustion, so I can help you.”

Holden pushed his thin lips together in a frigid arc, barely able to utter a syllable, “Go!”

Elena didn't just stand there, she walked up to him and said, "Just now I detected the aroma of lily, poria, gastrodia elata, and other valuable medical ingredients on your body." All of these are Chinese medications used to cure insomnia. If my assumption is correct, and I am not mistaken in my conclusion, you have sleep problems and are unable to sleep at night.”

“Madam, you...” the butler said as he stared at Elena in disbelief.

“How far has your sleep issue progressed?” Elena said, her brilliant pupils falling on Holden's beautiful face. If the sleep problem worsens, it will have a significant impact on the person's mental condition, and the body will be fatigued to the point of exhaustion if a treatment is not found. Rest and relax; this will allow your body to live with a different sense of self. That self is dark, unpleasant, scary, and on the verge of being ill.”

Holden's narrow eyes got redder, and his beautiful brows were obscured by a dismal atmosphere. Elena's neck was seized by his outstretched hand.

The girl's pink neck is fragile, and if he squeezes it gently enough, she will succumb quickly.

“Madam, don't annoy my master any longer!” Let go of Madam, Master!” In a haste, the butler raced forward.

Elena's little face reddened as the fresh air she could breathe got less and thinner, but she immediately twisted her small hand and poked a silver needle into Holden's neck.

Holden sat down on the sofa after letting go of his hand.

Elena took a deep breath and struggled for air. She didn't want to die within her first week of marriage. She was also terrified right now for a variety of reasons.

The guy in front of her is far too dangerous, especially given his unknown identity; even a little sleep disruption may transform him from an exquisite and wealthy man into a monster at any time.

She, on the other hand, has nowhere to go and can only try.

Elena regulated her breathing, moved behind him, and gently massaged his temples with her white fingertips.

“Your therapy is to massage me?” Holden said, his gorgeous eyes closed and the crimson in them hidden.

“Be glad you're the first man I've ever massaged.”

“It appears that you are not the first woman to be given the opportunity to massage me.”

“…”

I'm at a loss for words.

“Leave me alone; we live in peace; if you just don't inquire about my personal matters, I can help you act in front of Grandma, and I can also help you with sleeplessness, how about it?”

Holden remained silent.

Holden closed his eyes and fell asleep on the sofa when Elena inserted a thin silver needle into his brain acupuncture canal.

Elena swiftly extended her hand and gently and carefully grasped the gorgeous face she had grabbed a moment before.

He finally slept off.

On one side, the housekeeper was already breaking out in a cold sweat. Others were unaware of this young master's identity. How could he not know that his young master was the Lu family's young master, the proud son of the land who had dabbled in business as a teenager and was the custodian of the Lu family's inheritance?

No one, much alone a female, has ever ventured to bargain with the master in this manner.

The girls who have had the good fortune to see the young master throughout the years have pink bubbles in their eyes, wanting, adoring, and wishing to leap into his arms at any moment.

Even in front of the young master, who was ill as a dog, the young girl in front of him was so exceptional; she was calm, gentle, and clever.

What's more shocking is the fact that the young master slept out!

Master hasn't had any sleep in a long time!

The physicians who cure the young master's sleeplessness are all on the world's top list, but they're worthless, since the young master fell asleep in the young woman's palm!

The butler remarked, "young lady..."

“Go out, I am here to take care of him,” Elena said, putting her finger on her lips and making a “hush” motion.

I'm not sure why, but the housekeeper sensed a soothing presence in this young girl, and he obediently retreated.

The room was deafeningly quiet.

Elena placed him on the sofa and covered him with a duvet after allowing him to rest in her palm for a bit.

Elena went to bed after finishing all of this and promptly fell asleep.

Holden, who had been sleeping on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes and awoke.

Holden rose and walked over to Elena's bedside, stretching out his delicate fingers to take the veil off her face.
