Whitney hurriedly let the butler in to speak.
"Is there news?" She looked eager. "Mobilize our people to assist Mr. Hamerton! Daniel... Ms. Hamerton can stay here temporarily. I can take care of her. You go and help with the rescue!"
"Madam, rest assured." The butler smiled. "Mr. Chris Hamerton has already sought help from his former comrades. The special forces soldiers have more experience and are more agile than us."
Whitney breathed a slight sigh of relief but still urged Daniel to go and check.
Just then, someone said that Persephone had awakened and was asking for Maisie.
Maisie hurried toward her bedroom.
Only Daniel and Whitney remained in the study. Just as Whitney was about to go back to rest, Daniel suddenly called her.
"Aunt, is it true that Anya... had a child with Wilfred?"
Whitney froze.
Daniel's gaze was deep, and he seemed hesitant to speak.
He had listened to her talking about Anya's past and caught that passing remark about "she gave birth to a daughter for Wilfred". A thought flashed through his mind...
"Yes," Whitney said softly. "At that time, although I had publicly severed ties with her as her teacher, I couldn't help but care for her. Anya devoted herself to Wilfred, but that man married Delilah for the sake of his family's interests... I blame myself, too. I refused to see her because of a bit of pride."
