Butler Lu knew that what had happened back then had hurt him deeply.
It had made him afraid of being hurt again.
After all, even his own family had been able to abandon him like that. How could he dare hope that people with no blood relation to him would sincerely treat him well?
Looking at the Young Master's vacant eyes and his dispirited air, Butler Lu couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and gently tried to persuade him:
"Young Master, Madam will come back. Perhaps she's just in a bad mood and went out to get some fresh air."
