Violet gradually relaxed. When she turned around, she confirmed that it was Lucius who had been holding her.

Struggling to speak, she asked faintly, “G–Grandma, is she…?”

Her voice trailed off, lacking strength.

Lucius let go of her, and massaged his temples. He assured her, “Grandma’s fine. She’s just resting.”

“So, Grandma wasn’t taken away?”

Lucius made no attempt to answer.

Instead, he briskly walked out to confront the doctor nursing a sore cheek. “Make sure she’s thoroughly

checked for any potential aftereffects.”

Howard had struck hard. Violet was lucky to have survived it.

Watching Lucius walk away, Violet gingerly touched her throbbing head.

“How did I end up back here?” she asked, lying down.

Despite his irritation at being slapped earlier, the doctor replied truthfully, “Master Lucius brought you back.”

“Lucius brought me back?” Violet asked, doubtful. She wondered if there were problems with her hearing, or perhaps there was something wrong with the doctor’s eyes.

Surprisingly, the next morning, Lucius appeared in her room.

“Turn your head here,” he said sharply.

Violet slowly turned her head toward him, feeling his cool fingers soothe her neck.

“What are you doing?” she asked, startled.
