Vivienne was taken aback.

This was something she had not anticipated.

When she had left the Ellington estate, everything seemed fine.

Fiona had been the picture of health, her cheeks flushed with life, showing no signs of organ failure.

"I reckon someone will give you a call," Percival spoke through sobs, which Vivienne guessed belonged to Heloise.

Vivienne reassured him calmly, "Don't worry."

With a brief acknowledgment, they ended the call.

Vivienne lay on her bed, but her phone buzzed to life before long.

It was Flynn.

"Vivienne, it's Flynn, Percival's uncle. I hate to bother you this late, but could you come to the hospital? It's Fiona... She's on her last legs."

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, a lazy smirk playing on her lips as she rested a hand on her temple. "What's the trouble?"

"Fiona's got complete organ failure. The family told me it was you who brought my dad back from the brink. Could you please come and work your magic on Fiona? Let bygones be bygones and help us save her, will you?"

Hearing Flynn's choked-up voice, Vivienne's smile widened. "Alright! I'm on my way."

Flynn exhaled a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Vivienne, thank you."

Vivienne chuckled, "No sweat. You're Mr. Wolf's most respected uncle."
