It's said that Lady Wutherspoon consulted a renowned spiritual healer.
Originally, she wanted to hold a special ceremony to cleanse Horace of any lingering bad energy.
But the healer said that Lord Horace's life force was too strong and needed to be balanced with a certain calming presence.
Although this had the faint aroma of a scam…
The Wutherspoon family was so rich they didn't care about such trivial fees. So Lady Wutherspoon waved her hand decisively and decided to hire eighteen personal nurses to take care of him.
Each of the eighteen nurses had their own special skills.
Except for me.
The only reason I was chosen was—my face.
A salary of one hundred thousand a month attracted countless applicants.
Lady Wutherspoon wiped away her tears as she scrutinized the applicants. Out of thousands, she selected seventeen people she liked.
When the last spot remained, Lady Wutherspoon happened to walk right up to me.
She reached out and pinched my chubby cheek.
Thoughtfully, she spoke, "You have a face that brings good fortune."
Yes, the only reason I was chosen was because my face seemed to bring good luck.
So, while others were showcasing their cooking skills or folding clothes, my job was to sit quietly beside Lord Horace's bed with a small stool, acting as a silent mascot.
To live up to the three hundred thousand monthly salary, I truly gave my best.
From the moment I started working, I kept my eyes wide open, watching Lord Horace, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
Trying to transfer my "good luck" to him.
I couldn't be accused of not doing my job.
As for whether it worked,
Well, that was beyond my control.
At this moment, Lord Horace's eyes were tightly shut, with several noticeable abrasions on his face. His head was wrapped in thick bandages, clearly indicating severe injuries.
Yet, that face was still absurdly handsome.
His long, curled lashes and fair skin remained. Even though there were bruises, his face, which should have been pale, somehow seemed even more fragile and beautiful.
Rumor had it that the young master of the Wutherspoon family, Lord Horace, was reckless and extravagant. Yet, he was deeply loved by the elders of the Wutherspoon family, largely because of his face.
Beautiful things always make people feel joy.
If I were to look at his face alone,
I would also feel heartache for the one who remained in a coma.
"Lust will lead to trouble."
I rested my chin in my hand and gazed at Lord Horace. If the doctor weren't nearby, I would have been tempted to touch his face.
The doctor finished checking his body and turned to me: "If there's anything wrong, just press the bell next to you."
The butler sent by Lady Wutherspoon also stood beside me, holding the medical report the doctor had written, preparing to report back to Lady Wutherspoon.
I nodded, watching the doctor leave, then resumed my role as the mascot.
