Agnes accompanied Mary back to her room, helping her lie down before speaking softly.

“Mr. Bartz had a heated argument with Mr. Maximus. That’s why he’s in such a bad mood. Please forgive him; he didn’t mean to be rude to you. He’s under a lot of pressure. He’s upset because Mr. Peter’s family wants to take him to Florentia, but Peter didn’t want to be buried there.”

“I know, Agnes,” Mary replied, tears welling in her eyes. “But I can’t stay here. Alexia made it clear–if I’m still here by morning, she’ll hurt me or my baby. I’ve lost so much already… I can’t lose more. I don’t know what to do.”

“Leave it to me. I’ll speak with Mr. Bartz. I’ve known him a long time–he’ll listen,” Agnes reassured her, gently patting her shoulder.

“Sir, please let me treat your wounds. We can’t risk an infection. We’ve already suffered enough with this terrible loss–you can’t afford to get sick as well.

Marcus began, his voice calmer than before “Where is Mary?”

“I took her to her room. She’s deeply worried. Apparently, that Alexia woman made it very clear that she doesn’t want her here by morning. I’m not sure how she managed to speak with her, but the poor girl is beside herself with fear. This could be dangerous for the baby.”

“Don’t worry, Agnes,” Marcus said, his voice firm. “She’s coming with me.”

As Agnes cleaned his bloody lip and brow, she saw the tension in Marcus’s expression soften slightly.
