Sophie in the Time of Secrets Chapter 48

Zhou Ershao had a big attack and fell ill. He was as ill as last year, and kept talking nonsense because of the fever. His illness kept coming back, and he was exhausted. He became thinner and thinner, which frightened the Zhou family. Adrian Zhou turned down several dinner parties and took turns to see Chinese and Western doctors. My sister-in-law went to the Guanyin Temple in the west of the city every day to worship and donated a lot of incense money.

Caleb Zhou didn't know about these things. He only knew that he was too tired and sad. He was injured and cold, and he was stimulated. He collapsed immediately. The servants said that before the second young master fell ill, he asked someone to come in and clean up the room. Who knew that as soon as the servants took off the quilt, Master Zhou asked everyone to go out and locked himself in the room. No one knew what he did.

The next day, the bedroom was full of wine bottles. Master Zhou lay on the bed, covered with a quilt and passed out drunk. The window was opened a little, but even so, cold wind blew in from time to time. When the servants washed Master Zhou's body, they found that there was a lot of dust on him, and his pajamas were full of creases, as if he had been tossed around. There was also a shoe that was missing, and was finally found on the stone platform outside the window.

The servant looked at the shoes, and then looked at the marks on Master Zhou's body, and couldn't help but become suspicious. This Master must have been drunk and had a bad temper. Fortunately, no one was hurt, otherwise the eldest Master would have skinned them. Fortunately, this Master stopped at the brink of death and went back to bed to sleep. Who knew that he avoided falling from the building, but not the serious illness.

In Master Zhou's room, a charcoal fire was lit day and night, making it warm, and a lot of medicine was boiled. Zhou Jungen, who had caused chaos in the Zhou family, fell asleep like a cotton ball and refused to open his eyes. In his dream, he opened the window to look for Ethan Yong, and the hard-mouthed and cruel man who had left came back and supported him in panic, half of his body falling outside the window.
