Chapter 921
Alexander headed to the company early the next morning. His schedule was packed with several important meetings, while Lily was
relatively free. With nothing better to do, she started on the wedding preparations.
Although she wasn't particularly interested in it, she had no choice but to take part since the celebration had already been decided. This was
her way to keep herself occupied while Alexander was busy with work.
The only thing that was a little difficult were the invitations. Alexander had not introduced her to his family or taken her to the Russell Estate.
He seemed very opposed to his family, so Lily had no idea who or how many people to invite.
She might have been too carefree because she wasn't working and was getting fewer phone calls, which might have caused her to get sick.
When Lily woke up around noon, she was so dizzy that she almost fell getting out of bed.

After a brief struggle to try to take a shower, she headed downstairs to get something to eat, but she barely had any strength or appetite.
Then, she took out a thermometer and checked herself. It beeped with a reading of 102 degrees. She had a fever!
'What the h*ll?r
Growing up, she had always been relatively healthy. She rarely fell sick and even catching a cold was
rare for her. Who would have imagined that she would become ill while she was idle?
Lily then poured herself a glass of water before returning to bed again. She covered herself up in the
comforter when a knock on the door broke her train of thought.
"Madame? Madame..." The maid's cautious yet persistent voice rang. "Are you awake?"
Hearing this, Lily frowned and replied lazily, "What's wrong?"
She mentioned she did not want to be disturbed if there was nothing important, even if it was mealtime.
Therefore, it must be important for the maid to come knocking at her door.
'There's someone outside who wants to see you." After a pause, the maid continued, "She said that
she's Mr. Russell's grandmother."
The maid quickly added, "Also, the woman who claimed to be his aunt from yesterday is here as well."
Lily did not know what to say.
She rolled her eyes and helplessly looked up at the ceiling.
It seemed like she did not need to worry about the invitations at all. They were bringing themselves to
the door. Yesterday, Alexander's aunt showed up, and today, his grandmother was here as well. If she
continued to ignore them, would the entire Russell family show up?

Although the maids found it strange to send the aunt and grandmother of their employer
home, it was still Alexander's orders. They didn't dare to argue as employees, instead simply doing what they were told.
"It's fine,” Lily said as she struggled to get up. As she walked toward the door, the maid was startled by how Lily looked. "Madame, why are
you so red?"
"I'm down with a fever. Could you get me some aspirin?"
She needed them to help her clear her mind before she decided on her next move.
When she called Alexander yesterday, he told her to send Celine away and immediately rushed home.
He was obviously worried about her. On top of that, seeing Celine seemed to have taken a toll on him, and it took him a while before he
recovered from it.
Lily knew he was occupied today, with three meetings in the morning. If she called him again, would it bother him? Would he drop everything
again and rush back?
