Merlin said, "If Miss Golding did have the medicine to save Lord Acker, why didn't she give it to you directly? She should know that you were downstairs."
Then, he added, "Also, she didn't leave right after you left. She waited until I left before making a move. It feels like she’s avoiding you on purpose.”
"That’s..." Christian couldn't answer.
Finally, he surmised, "Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn't believe her if she gave me the medicine right there and then? I might not accept it, too. Even if I did, would I give it to my father?"
Merlin sighed. "Perhaps so. Still, something feels a little off. Nothing is logical here.”
Christian urged, “Okay, then don't overthink anymore. I've just seen the latest news. The Fox family’s spokesperson announced to the public about a press conference at eight in the morning. It would be broadcast live nationwide. I guess the newly appointed little girl is going to turn the tide.”
Merlin laughed. "Turn the tide... I don't think anyone can fix this mess."
Christian said, “If she makes the right move, there's still a chance. We'll see if this little girl has the courage."
Merlin laughed. "I look forward to seeing the little girl’s courage! If she can turn the tide and ease the public’s anger, she'll be doing me a favor. Otherwise, I'll be d*mned worried..."
