After Isolde left, she ran straight to the edge of the reservoir, collapsing onto the ground as tears poured from her eyes.

A broad hand gently patted her back, and a cloak was draped over her shoulders.

Isolde turned her tear–streaked face to see Garrett’s eyes filled with sorrow and pain. She wiped her tears roughly, her voice thick with emotion. “I’m fine, really, I’m fine.”

Garrett sighed heavily. “I know about your father. I never thought he would go this far for you. I misjudged him.”

Natasha was slipping away, and now Garrett, too, was growing frail. Patricia had mentioned before that Garrett had many old injuries.

His eyesight had worsened since then.

Isolde crouched down, pressing her hands on his legs, massaging gently.

Garrett grasped her hand. “It’s nothing.”

Isolde shook her head. “I can’t accept this. This is the one thing I can’t accept.”
