Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 837

Ivy said, "Although my mentor doesn't want to treat Madam Rebecca, he still keeps an eye on Madam Amelia since she comes in for Snowdrop Pills. Every time she comes to buy medicine, he instructs the shop assistants to ask about her situation. Madam Amelia has become familiar with them and tends to vent a bit.

"Yesterday, she didn't say much, but they noticed she had been crying. In the past, she would talk about how she handles everything at home and takes care of her mother-in-law. Madam Viola manages the accounts, but Madam Amelia only gets a little money trickling through her fingers. When Madam Amelia can't cover the household expenses, she has to sell or pawn her own things. It sounds like she's really been feeling the pressure."

When they arrived at Lily's room, Frederick was still there. The two of them were catching up while Lulu sat nearby.

Lily's complexion was not good, and upon hearing them talk about Amelia, she sighed and said, "Madam Amelia is too weak. She lacks a backbone and can't stand up for herself. Her family situation is complicated. Her dad's a minor official out of town, and being sent away is just another way of saying he's been demoted.

"The Warren family isn't much better, but she has no support from her natal family. A biological father can easily become a stepfather once he marries another woman, you know? So, no matter how difficult things are at Valor Estate, she has to endure. After all, there are children involved."

"It sounds like she's used to suffering in silence," Violet said.

Lily shook her head. "Enduring suffering isn't about getting used to it. When someone has to bear it, there will come a day when they can't take it anymore. I don't know what's happening in the Warren family, but if she can't manage there, she has no other options—only a dead end. She can't rely on her family."

Lily sighed again. "That's why she came to Lady Carissa, asking for Snowdrop Pills for Madam Rebecca. If she hadn't, she risked being kicked out. Lady Carissa understood her predicament, which is why she suggested that Madam Amelia go to Arcane Sanctum to kneel for a bit. That way, Madam Amelia could at least gain a reputation for being dutiful, making it harder for the Warren family to simply throw her out."

Ivy chimed in, "You know, I've seen plenty of people like her. They can endure more than anyone else and swallow every grievance. But once they reach their limit, they can react more violently than anyone would expect."

Frederick sighed. "So, since she was just sitting outside the estate, does that mean she's really at her wit's end? Ugh, we can't ignore this. Lady Carissa just started her official duties, and now this happens… Well, Madam Amelia probably didn't mean any harm. She must be desperate. Let's focus on bringing her back first."
