Vivienne was taken aback.

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."
