Chapter: 866

"You just said that if the water gets cold..."

"You'll easily catch a cold if the water gets chilly..." the maid answered with wide eyes.

The child's eyes lit up once more and he clapped his hands excitedly.

"Yes! Catch a cold! I know what to do!" Joey then shoved the maid out of the room before she could come to her senses.

"You just wait outside. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."

“\ihat?" The maid was stunned as she was forced out of the room.

Bang!

Joey had already shut the door before the maid could finish her sentence.

Joey walked into the bathroom and stared curiously at the warm water that had filled the entire bathtub. Turning his gaze upwards, he watched raindrops sticking to the window. Observing this, he stroke his chin and came up with a plan.

He pulled a chair into the bathroom, cautiously stood in it, and opened the bathroom's glass window. After that, the cold wind and drizzling rain from the outside swept into the bathroom.

The next morning

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Joe, are you awake?" Lukas called out from the other side of the door of Joey's room.

He then put his ear against the door to listen for any sound. It was silent inside the room. He looked at his watch and it said that it was already ten o'clock. Lukas thought it strange that Joey was still in bed. And he hadn't come out since he took a shower in the room the previous night.

Joey was still a child, but he kept a regular schedule.

Lukas knocked on the door again. Still, there was no answer. He couldn't even hear a thing moving inside the room. Alarmed, he quickly got someone to open the door with the spare key.

A cold gust of wind hit Lukas as he entered the room.

He noticed that the cold air was coming from the floor-to-ceiling glass door, which was open.

Lukas frowned. He remembered asking the servant to turn the heating system on in the Sue Garden. He didn't want Joey to catch a cold when he walked into the cold room. And yet, the door was wide open now and the wind had been blowing in all night.

Lukas stepped inside the room, closed the door, and looked around the room. Joey was lying in the bed and all wrapped up tightly with his quilt. Lukas could see only the top of his head.

"Joe?" Lukas walked toward the bed and called the boy's name softly.

Joey didn't reply. He wasn't moving either.

Lukas thought that Joey was still asleep.

"Joe, it's almost noon. You haven't had your breakfast. Maybe you can sleep again after you've put something in your tummy."

So Lukas bent down and took hold of the quilt. As soon as he pulled the quilt, Joey turned around, his eyes were tightly closed.
