Chapter 188
Letta then gazed at the guards in the main hall of their house, who seemed to be ina hurry, furrowing her brow.
"What are you all doing?" Letta asked, pulling her shawl closer as it was pouring rain outside. The cold air seemed to pierce her skin. Desi, hearing Letta's voice, immediately rushed over to her, then widened her eyes upon seeing the guards still in the process of discarding all the items that Letta was currently examining.
"What are you doing with those belongings?" Letta asked, about to approach, before Desi stopped her.
"They're just items to be discarded, Madam,” Desi replied. Letta noticed several scattered rose petals on the floor.
"Open everything. I want to see what those items are," Letta asked again, making Desi shut her eyes. She had instructed the guards to quickly pack up all the items that had suddenly been sent to their residence. But it turned out Letta had come down first and found out what they were doing. Letta felt even more suspicious when the guards didn't move at all, making Letta immediately look towards Desi.
"Desi, I'm sure you know something. What they're doing isn't just about throwing away old stuff, right?" Letta asked again, making Desi once again remain silent.
"And your silence indicates that there's something. So quickly open all of it and show what you're hiding," Letta said, finally making the guards slowly unwrap the packages they had intended to conceal. Inside, three bouquets of bright red, white, and pink flowers were visible. After that, there were several neatly wrapped gifts, making Letta immediately look back at Desi.
"Who sent these?" Letta asked again, making Desi finally approach. As usual, Madam, they are packages sent without a name. Early in the morning, a courier delivered all of this directly. And as instructed by the Master, I was to dispose of anything sent by items addressed to Madam, especially without a sender's name," Desi replied, making Letta's heart inexplicably beat fast. Especially now with no Marco nearby. Could it be that person deliberately sent all these items back? Letta remembered when she was in the hospital. She had experienced this before. Could that person know where she was and what was happening to her? Letta then wanted to instruct the guards to continue their work of disposing of all those items. However, there was one box that caught Letta's attention. The box appeared larger than the others but had a different color. This made Letta walk closer.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Desi asked, looking at Letta with a worried expression.
"Is there no sender's name on that box as well?" Letta asked, making Desi look towards the guards, who were now nodding.
"That's right, Madam, there's no sender for that one either. But the box came differently from the others,” Desi said, making Letta look at her.
"What do you mean?" Letta asked again.
"The box didn't come with the flower bouquets or the other boxes. It arrived separately," Desi said, making Letta even more curious. Letta then reached out, taking the large box and giving it a slight shake. "I want to see what's inside," Letta said, making Desi shake her head.
"No, Madam. That's too dangerous. We don't know what's inside. Let's just consider it an insignificant box, and the sender seems to be playing with us. It's better to just discard everything,” Desi said again.
"Where will you dispose of it? What if someone finds it? We better check what's inside first," Letta insisted, seemingly unstoppable by Desi. Desi finally nodded to the guards, who then handed the box to Letta. Letta examined every inscription on the box. The beautifully purple-colored box looked very intriguing.
"I will open it," Letta said, but Desi immediately stopped her.
"Let the guards open it. Madam can watch from a distance. We don't know, perhaps it contains something dangerous," Desi said, making Letta finally nod. She didn't want to take too big a risk for herself and her unborn child. Desi then instructed one of the guards to open the box. Letta stared at it with great curiosity until the guard slowly opened it. This made Letta widen her eyes, and Desi immediately pulled Letta into her embrace. "Quick, burn all those items. Don't leave anything behind,” Desi yelled angrily, prompting the guards to immediately rush. Letta felt her body tremble heavily, and even her tears couldn't be held back.
"Everything will be okay. Nothing will happen. The Master has instructed many guards to protect us here, and we will all be safe," Desi said, trying to calm Letta, who appeared even thinner and trembling. Desi knew that her mistress was frightened right now.
And no wonder, Letta saw a pair of baby clothes smeared with blood. And not only that, inside the box were wedding photos of Letta and Marco, already shattered, not spared from those bloodstains. Letta then loosened her embrace. "What does the person who sent the box mean? What does he want?" Letta asked, making Desi shake her head.
"Madam, you don't need to think about it. It's just a prank from someone who may not like your happiness. Besides, the Master's absence will have no effect on us," Desi said, making Letta feel even more intense tremors in her body. Even her heart was beating rapidly. Letta immediately had dark thoughts upon seeing the contents of the box. Even Desi became more worried when she saw Letta's tears wouldn't stop. Her face looked even paler.
"Madam, you must sit down first,” Desi said, then glanced at the servants around her. "Quick, get some warm water for Madam," Desi said, making the servant run. After that, she hurriedly handed the warm water to Desi, who helped Letta drink it.
"Take a breath, Madam, slowly. Then exhale slowly as well. Everything will be okay. The guards have burned all the items sent to this residence," Desi said, trying to calm her mistress.
"Is Marco being well-guarded there too? Don't say that I'm only thinking about us, while he's ignoring his own safety," Letta said, even thinking that perhaps that person was targeting Marco's safety, like what happened to them in Chicago. Even imagining it made Letta unable to forget it at all. How her husband was seriously injured in front of her.
"The Master must be taking good care of himself, especially with Pedro there. Madam must trust the Master,” Desi said, making Letta try to reassure herself. Letta then nodded.
"Then it's better for Madam to rest now. I'll take Madam to her room," Desi said, making Letta nod. Because Letta also thought that she needed rest after the recent incident. With Desi's help, Letta slowly began to step her feet. However, when she was in the middle of the stairs, Letta suddenly screamed loudly when her stomach felt a sudden turmoil, making Desi widen her eyes and scream. "Madam, what's happening?" Desi asked worriedly, making Letta grip Desi's wrist tightly.
"Desi, help me. My stomach feels like it's being stabbed," Letta said. After that, Desi tried to embrace Letta tightly, when Letta suddenly lost her balance.
