A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Arielle played dumb and pretended to ask in confusion, “What happened to Aunt Cindy, Dad?”

“She couldn’t accept the fact that Shandie is dead and has been causing a ruckus, so I had someone lock her in her room. Wouldn’t want to scare the guests who have come to mourn,” Henrick replied with a sigh.

Arielle nodded. “Aunt Cindy really loves Shandie and treats her like her own daughter, even though she was adopted. It’s only natural that she doesn’t take too well to her sudden death.”

Henrick cleared his throat awkwardly upon hearing that. “Ahem… No need to concern yourself over this. She’ll come to terms with it over time.”

“But… We can’t just let Aunt Cindy stay depressed like this. Prolonged grief can be really bad for her body. How about we have Dr. Jankowitsch take a look at her?”

Henrick arched an eyebrow at her and said, “That’s a good idea. Will he be willing to travel all the way here?”

Vinson was quick to reassure him, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll give Dr. Jankowitsch a call right away and have him come over!”
