“If you don’t wanna tell me, fine. I will stop here.” Edmund was unusually agreeable today, which she found relief.

“Do you think that we’re gonna die here?”

His assumption irritated her. “Why would that happen when I’m here?”

“So, you mean that you’re gonna protect me?” A triumphant smile appeared across his lips.

“Cut it out.” Elspeth could punch him at any time.

Isabel stared at Elspeth in disbelief. “Y-You’re alive?”

That put Elspeth in a slightly awkward position. She did not tell anyone about her faked death, so she did not know what to say when someone recognized her. “Yup. I’m still alive, but—”

Isabel soon wrapped her head around it. “So, Miss Joneson is with you, right?”

Elspeth nodded under Isabel’s confused gaze. “Yes, she is.”

Isabel let out a bitter smile. “I was worried that her condition got worse when Dr. Winthrop said she will be leaving the country for treatment. It’s a relief to know that she’s with you.”
