The day Marie returned from Illinois, she caught the flu at the airport and fell ill. After receiving an IV drip at the hospital, she stayed in bed all day, with Lucy, the nanny, bringing in three meals a day. 

The day before the New Year, Lucy delivered lunch to Marie’s room as usual 

Marie coughed a few times and wiped her nose with a tissue. “Lucy, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After you finish your work today, go home and celebrate the holiday.” 

Lucy hesitated.“But Marie, you’re still sick. Who would take care of you if I left?” 

“It is just a slight cold. Nothing serious.”

Deandre had called her a few days ago to ask when she would be on vacation.

Lucy did everything well and opened the door to Marie’s room. “Marie, the holiday shopping is all set. Fruits are in the refrigerator. Imported snacks that you love are on the table in the living room.” 

Marie lay in bed, nestled in the blanket with only her head exposed. “Mmm, thank you for your hard work, Lucy.” 

“Then I’m leaving. Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything.” 

“Okay, Happy New Year, Lucy.” 

“Happy New Year.” 

Lucy walked out of the neighborhood, still worried about Marie. 

She took out her phone and called Lennon. 

“Mr. Stark, Marie fell ill. She has been lying at home for two days since returning from the hospital and hasn’t shown any signs of improvement. She asked me to come home for the New Year. She’s all alone there. I’m worried.”
