“Vivienne, you gotta help my brother!” The little girl’s sweet voice was tinged with sorrow. “He got stung by a wasp!”

Vivienne was dumbfounded.

Isolde was crying pretty hard, so Vivienne comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’m on my way.”

After ending the call, Vivienne was about to head out when she remembered something. She turned around, took out her suitcase, and packed a few sets of clothes.

Vivienne fell silent.

Of course, she wasn’t moving into Percival’s house to develop feelings for him.

She had never found the opportunity to investigate why her mother’s pendant was in Percival’s possession.

Now, the opportunity had come.
