The realization filled Tyler with a sense of panic.
He had never considered such an outcome.
In all their years together, Emilia had always been strong and independent.
She was capable of handling so many things on her own. In their careers, they had supported each other, faced life-and-death situations together, and she had always been his equal.
At home, she had managed to balance everything, taking care of the household and looking after their grandparents.
Their marriage had once been harmonious, filled with love.
Even though her past trauma often woke her from nightmares, those were things of the past.
When she was awake, she was always so self-reliant.
In his mind, she had never been associated with words like “fragile.”
But now, he was discovering that things were not as they seemed.
He might actually drive her mad. She might actually die.

Meanwhile, Theodore and Emilia had returned to Glenn Manor.
Emilia had calmed down by now.
It was just as Theodore had said—
“Things are different now, Emilia. You have a bodyguard, you have me. You’re not alone and helpless anymore.”
Emilia glanced at the bodyguard beside her.
She was truly skilled. She had faced so many men on her own without a hint of fear and had managed to stall for time until help arrived.
“Thank you,” Emilia said to her.
The bodyguard simply nodded. “Just doing my job.”
Night had fully fallen. The rehearsal had run late, and the confrontation with Tyler had left her completely exhausted.
Today, the driver and Wilma had picked up Bella. The little girl was playing at home and ran to greet Emilia when she returned.
After a few words with Bella, Emilia went upstairs to the bedroom.
She was tired and just wanted to rest.
It was a weariness that went beyond the physical; she was drained, body and soul.
Sophia had already stopped by and left some medication for her.
Emilia took the medicine, washed up, and lay down.
