Frieda gave a perfunctory nod before turning around and entering her room. Only after watching her disappear behind the door did Jonathan walk downstairs. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw that Lucian was already chatting with Alfred.

"I did that to save Dr. Jarvis from the predicament, so why are you thanking me?" Alfred gazed at Lucian in bafflement as the latter had started expressing his gratitude a short while into the conversation. Lucian maintained a polite mien in front of Alfred. After listening to the old man's remark, he merely flashed a faint smile. "I'm well-acquainted with Dr. Jarvis, so I think it is reasonable for me to thank you on her behalf."

Alfred waved his hand nonchalantly. "All I did was mention the truth. Dr. Jarvis saved my life. I should help her with this small favor."
