Carissa paid a visit to Jeanette.

Though the concubine did not explicitly say that Sylvia was responsible for the loss of her child, she did remark, "Those who commit wicked deeds will always face retribution. No one can escape it."

The words seemed not only directed at Sylvia, but also at Kylie.

As Carissa prepared to leave after questioning her, Jeanette suddenly spoke up, asking, "Your Grace, was it truly impossible to save Prince Connor?"

Carissa assumed Jeanette's words were born of sympathy for Connor. But when she glanced at the concubine, she saw no trace of sorrow in her eyes, only a subtle glint of something resembling satisfaction.

It was an emotion she clearly tried to conceal but could not, as though Jeanette had achieved a long-sought revenge. Carissa chose not to respond, instead turning on her heel to leave.

Kylie had caused Jeanette's loss, so it was no surprise that she wouldn't wish for Connor's recovery.

Carissa couldn't fault Jeanette for her feelings. How could she, when she had not endured the same pain? It was not her place to admonish.

Though Carissa had planned to visit Laurel Palace, she changed her mind and decided to stop by Iridescent Palace first.

She had originally thought to delay this visit, for she had heard that Caden had been deeply distressed. The shock and grief had caused him to lose his senses, leaving him in a troubled state.

So, when she went, her intention was not to speak with Caden, but rather with Grace.
