Before she could even step inside. Britney rushed out to meet her. The moment he saw her, his face lit up with excitement. “Lady Isolde! I was just about to head out to find you! Harlan’s awake!

Isolde’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t contain her excitement and rushed inside, eager to see him.

Harlan had just regained consciousness. There had been no warning before he woke up.

The manservant had entered to wipe his face, and as he did so, Harlan’s eyes suddenly shot open, catching the servant completely off guard.

The servant quickly rushed out to call for help, while Patricia ordered someone to go get Sadie and decided to visit him herself.

When Harlan woke, he wasn’t quite himself–still groggy, as if lost in a haze. When Patricia asked him a question, he looked at her blankly, not recognizing her, as though he couldn’t remember anything that had happened.

She sighed softly. I’m afraid he’s just been asleep for too long. His mind’s a bit foggy right now.”

Isolde stormed in like a whirlwind, completely ignoring formalities. She dashed straight to the bed, and when she saw Harlan’s eyes open for real, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. “Harlan, you’re back with us.”

Harlan looked at her, his eyes brightening immediately. It was as if all his memories came flooding back. His lips trembled slightly as he asked, “Are you…. alright?”

“I’m fine!” Isolde quickly greeted her aunt before sitting down by the bed.

When Patricia saw her, she smiled warmly. “Good, you’re here. Talk to him–he didn’t seem to remember much just now.”

“Thank you, Auntie!” Isolde responded, grateful.

Patricia reached out and affectionately ruffled Isolde’s forehead before heading out with the maids.

Harlan’s gaze flickered between Isolde and Patricia’s retreating figure. His hands shot up in excitement. “I remember! It’s Patricia! Great Marshal is back, right?”

“Yes, Grandpa’s back Isolde smiled, watching his excitement, but then gently placed a hand on his shoulder. “Now, lie back down. You’re not fully recovered yet.”

Harlan muttered, his voice low, “That’s good, that’s really good. No one will bully you anymore.”
