After leaving the palace, Carissa helped Ryan onto the carriage and headed toward Highcrest Estate. It was already evening, and the men of the Klein family would be finishing their duties and returning home. Inside the carriage, Ryan used Carissa's palm as a writing surface.

He scrawled, [Going to Grandpa's house?]

Carissa nodded and replied, "Yes, we're going to your grandfather's house. Don't you miss them?"

Ryan nodded and wrote a single word, [Yes!]

Yet, his expression was tinged with worry. The child was sensitive, and the Klein family's disbelief in his return made him fear they might not want to see him.

Carissa noticed his anxiety and reassured him, "Ryan, don't worry. Your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and everyone else are very eager to see you. They just don't believe you're still alive. Once they see you, they'll be very happy."

Ryan leaned against Carissa, his sharp little chin raised slightly. He opened his mouth, trying to make a sound, but nothing came out. He looked disheartened.

Would they be repulsed because he was now mute and crippled?

After thinking it over, he wrote on Carissa's palm, [Will they dislike me?]

Carissa's heart ached at his words. She gently stroked his hair, and comforted him, "Silly child, they'll be overjoyed to see you. How could they dislike you? Don't think such things. They will be very happy."
