Kaylee:
Ever since I was told that Graham would be returning with Madeline, I had been anxious. My thoughts would not stop.
Did that mean he went to pick her up himself? Why would he do that?
Why didn’t the council send their own car for their precious Madeline? The questions kept fueling my anger.
Then I remembered last night. After they had cheated on me, he must have felt proud of himself.
She would walk in with that mocking look, reminding me that my husband had been with her again. I could already see the smirk on her face.
“Tell me something, Penny,” I murmured, standing at the entrance and staring outside as I waited for their arrival.
“Yes?” Penny replied, stepping up behind me.
“You were here when Madeline and Graham were friends, right? What kind of relationship did they have? Was it emotional?” I asked, slow tears burning in my eyes.
“Graham cared a lot for her. He used to fight with his father about inviting her home,” Penny explained.
“Lord Eldon would get angry about her wandering around the mansion,” she added.
My fists clenched.
“Kaylee, don’t overwhelm yourself with hatred. What they had was in the past,” she said, placing a hand on my shoulder.
“What would you do if it were Lord Eldon speaking to his ex?” I asked, reminding her she had once been in my place.
She went silent for a moment.
I turned to face her with a faint smile.
“It hurts when it’s your own mate, doesn’t it?” I asked.
She raised her eyebrow, clearly disapproving of my tone.
“Anyway, don’t worry. I heard her husband is going to wake up soon. She’s probably just waiting for that,” Penny assured me.
My ears perked up.
“Baxter is waking up?” I asked.
She nodded gently.
That was news to me. I walked past her and headed to Lord Eldon’s office.
He was organizing the transfer of patients to the mansion. Since morning, the staff had been preparing guest rooms so parents could stay with their children while Madeline administered treatment.
People moved in and out of the hall.
“Kaylee, I’m glad you’re here. I was having some trouble and thought you might help,” Lord Eldon said, showing me the files.
He asked me to call the parents and guide them to the guest rooms.
“I need to speak with you about something,” I said, getting straight to the point.
“Sure, go ahead,” Lord Eldon said, writing on the files.
“Is it true that Madeline’s husband is waking up?” I asked anxiously.
