Falling For My Billionaire Savior - Chapter 128: Chapter 128

I chatted with Esther on and off in the kitchen, waiting patiently for them to come back. The huge house had only the two of us, empty and a bit creepy.
Two more hours passed, and still no one returned. I couldn't help worrying. I wanted to call Mason to ask but was afraid of disturbing him.
A bad feeling came over me. I thought things must be really bad, otherwise they wouldn't all still be at the hospital.
Esther was yawning a lot, her head nodding as she nodded off. I saw it but didn't ask her to go back to her room to sleep.
I was scared, so I had to be selfish and keep Esther with me in the kitchen. It wouldn't be right for me to go to the servants' quarters or for her to come to my room.
It was already 10:30. I couldn't hold back anymore. I took out my phone, about to dial Mason's number, when I suddenly heard the door open.
I ran out right away, and Esther perked up and followed me. Sure enough, the family was back. Wait, someone was missing. Helen wasn't there.
Everyone looked really tired, with gloomy expressions. I was about to ask about Moira when Mason said, "Esther, fix everyone something to eat."
"Okay," Esther replied and went back to the kitchen.
No one said a word as they walked to the living room. They sat down on the couches, all looking serious and upset.
It wouldn't be strange if Martin or Joey looked like this, but even Delilah, Mason, and Richard had the same worried faces. That meant things were really serious.
No one spoke. The atmosphere was heavy. It clearly wasn't the right time to ask about Moira.
I decided to go to the kitchen to make coffee for everyone. From the way things looked, they'd probably talk after eating. Otherwise, they wouldn't all be sitting in the living room like that.
But when I got to the kitchen, I froze. "Esther, what are you doing?"
In front of her was a big bowl with at least half a bag of flour. She was adding water and kneading the dough hard.
Worse, there was yeast nearby. It looked like she was making bread? Waiting for the flour to rise...
Good grief. If that were the case, we'd be lucky to eat by dawn.
Sure enough, Esther replied, "Mrs. Knight, I'm making bread and salad for everyone." She was actually thinking things through.
I really wanted to check inside her head to see if it was just full of wooden blocks.
I snapped, "Can't you make something else? Just make the food you served me earlier."
She answered honestly, "I didn't make the food I served you. I only know how to make bread." She paused and then added, "And cakes."
I was stunned.
I said, "Help me. I'll cook." Even though Mason didn't want me in the kitchen, this was different. With only Esther, this airhead, around, was I supposed to let him go hungry?
"Mrs. Knight, aren't you a rich heiress? You can cook?" Esther asked.
I ignored her. Talking to her was enough to make me mad.
I'd make Mason a meal before Esther drove me crazy. It would pay him back for saving my life three times. Then we'd be even.
I opened the fridge. It had all kinds of ingredients. I took out some tomatoes, ham, carrots, and cabbage. Then I told Esther to wash the greens and chop the ham.
