Chapter 325

Maurice maintained his usual composed demeanor, exuding that scholarly, polite air as he replied, "Of course."

Felicia's lips curled into a bright smile. "Thank you in advance, Mr. Glovers."

The atmosphere remained pleasant, at least on the surface.

Felicia raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Kelsey, upon reaching Maurice and seeing him standing, broke into a beaming smile. Her joy was palpable, her voice trembling with emotion. "Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! My grandson is standing again!"

She clasped her hands together and murmured "Praise be!" several times before speaking again.

"This is the best news I've heard in years! But you, child, how could you keep such a thing from me? I only heard about it through the maids!"

Maurice's lips curved slightly, but his eyes showed no warmth. "You've been so focused on your prayers; I didn't want to disturb you."
