Chapter 107

• The ride back to Sydney's mansion was quiet. Cynthia leaned against the window, her thoughts still on Lilian. The image of her sister's weak smile and faint words kept replaying in her mind. Beside her, Ken sat stiffly, silent, as though carrying her sadness himself.
• When they arrived, the servants opened the doors, but neither of them spoke much. Cynthia walked slowly behind Ken until they reached his quarters using the hallway elevator
• Inside the room, Ken broke the silence first. His voice was low but steady.
