She stopped thinking and remembered that Anne had lobbied Collin to hollow out her power at the Lloyd's Corp so she decided to do something about it.
By the time Rudolph returned from taking the medication, Lyra was just about to leave the White Mansion.
"Where are you going? It's getting late tonight. Why don't you stay here?"
Charles also advised, "Yeah, it's raining outside. Why don't you stay here tonight and spend more time with Rudolph and the babies?"
Lyra couldn't tell him outright about the possibility of the manic episode at night, so she had to cope with it.
"There is something at my family to deal with. As the head of the family, I have to go back. Rudolph, rest early at night. Spencer and Momo have Sophia accompany them. Please don't stay up late."
Since this was bout her family's business, Rudolph had no reason to keep her staying here, instructed a few words to pay attention to safety and let Lyra leave.
It was raining lightly in Suham.
At night, the road was slippery and Rudolph asked Charles to walk Lyra out of the White Mansion. Each with an umbrella, they walked one after the other in the winding alleys of the White Mansion.
Charles said, "Rudolph is in much better spirits since he has little Miss and little Mr. with him."
Lyra nodded her head with relief.
Thinking about Rudolph who got his medicine before she left, she asked, "What's wrong with grandpa lately?"
Charles sighed, "When he is young, he's in the army. He's healthy and nothing serious. When people are older, there are always high blood pressure, high blood sugar or something. It's inevitable, so recently he needs to take the medicine to control the blood pressure blood sugar."
This Lyra understood.
As the two walked forward, the atmosphere gradually became quiet, until a tall but thin figure of a man passed through the alley not far from the front.
Lyra saw that it was Travis.
She wondered, "Why is Travis back? I remember he, along with Mr. Ryan, were transferred by Malcolm to a small branch in a county. They could not be transferred back to the head office in five years except for holidays and Christmas."
Charles explained with a smile, "Rudolph is old. He would like his children and grandchildren can always be around, so some time ago, he help transfer Mr. Travis back to the Suham branch. Mr. Malcolm is aware of it."
Since it was something that Malcolm agreed to, Lyra had nothing to say.
She understood the intention of Rudolph. They were all his grandchildren. It was impossible to see one living a good life and the other living in extreme misery. Rudolph helped Travis and it was reasonable.
As long as Travis stayed calm and didn't get into trouble, it was not a big deal to keep him at the White Mansion.
As she was thinking about it, Charles had already walked her to the garage.
Lyra told Charles to go back to the villa, chose a luxury car at random in the garage, and soon left the White Mansion in the drizzling night.
But she didn't go back to the Lloyd Manor, only to go to the lab and return to the treatment room Malcolm had arranged for her to rest in before he left.
The Lloyd Manor at Anning Hill.
Light raining fell incessantly. The cold air poured up in bursts, and the temperature plummeted.
Collin had fallen victim to rheumatism because of his previous self-abusive behavior.
With this rain, his knees were completely overwhelmed with force.
Waves of pain swept through the nerves. Collin curled up and fell to the ground. With the inflammation of the limbs and the horrible pain, he could not focus on holding the pen, let alone neatly copied the scriptures.
Kathleen was aware of this, and with an umbrella in hand, she made a mad dash to the hall of the villa.
Collin was already in pain until he was covered in cold sweat which went down into the painful wound on his back where the skin was broken and oozing blood.
The whole person was in misery and tormented.
