Lauren felt the same way, so she called Franklin anxiously, who immediately invited the family doctor over.

Of course, the family doctor couldn’t find out what caused this. He only prescribed some medicine for Mr. Hayes and left.

Lauren looked at Mr. Hayes, who was lying on the bed, and muttered, “Is this doctor reliable? Why can’t he find anything?”

She pouted and sat beside Mr. Hayes’ bed.

“Mr. Hayes, let me take a look at you! I have learned a little in the church!”

She was just about to put her hand on the pulse of his arm when Mr. Hayes pulled his hand away.

“Miss Lauren, don’t worry about me. I’m very sick here and it’s not suitable for you to stay here. You should go out quickly. I’ll be fine after a short rest.”

After saying that, Mr. Hayes closed his eyes and looked as if he did not want to talk anymore.

Lauren went out quietly. She thought that Mr. Hayes must be feeling unwell and that was why he was acting this way.

That night, after Franklin returned home, Mr. Hayes forced himself to get up again.

He looked a little better and his attitude toward Lauren was back to normal.

“Mr. Hayes, if there’s something wrong with your body, don’t force yourself. Just rest. Otherwise, I can only force you to retire.”

Franklin sat beside Mr. Hayes and said.

“You should have retired a long time ago, but you never wanted to.”

“Master Franklin, I’m not tired at all.” Mr. Hayes shook his head and sighed. “People die faster when they’re old and have nothing to do. I can’t tell how happy I am to see the four of you every day.”

Franklin and Lauren talked to Mr. Hayes for a long time before Mr. Hayes agreed to go and rest.

“Mr. Hayes, you don’t have to work hard these two days. If I see you running around and keeping busy, I’ll send you directly to the house Lauren gave you and get you to retire.” Franklin pretended to threaten him.

Mr. Hayes smiled and nodded, accepting their offer.

“I am actually a servant here. What have I done to deserve to be treated so well by all of you?”

Lauren said, “Mr. Hayes, what are you talking about? You treated me the best when I first came here.”
