Sophie only eased up after she accompanied William to his checkup and read the result report. I would’ve felt guilty if Old Mr. Lombard was gravely hurt. After all, it was because of me that Nicholas set up the accident.

Upon detecting her sigh of relief, William grinned. “There’s no need for you to feel guilty, my dear. After all, death comes for us all.
