Chapter 18 Return to Hugo

• Hugo helped Adele to her feet once her sobbing had stopped. Adele, on the other hand, wonders why Hugo didn’t tell her about Soleil. Hugo put back the clothing she had taken out and while she sat on the bed. It was good news for her that Hugo didn’t bring up the subject, since she knew she wouldn’t be able to handle it if she heard the words from Hugo.
• She could understand Hugo not knowing Soleil, but the fact that Soleil didn’t know Hugo surprised her. This is extremely unlikely to occur either Soleil purposefully did not identify herself or there was an accident or incident that occurred to Soleil, such as having amnesia.
• Hugo flicked her on the forehead amid her musings. “Are you all right now? If not, I’ll just tell them downstairs that you’re not feeling well and are unable to stand.” Adele observed Hugo’s manner to be normal, with no hint of pretension. She exhaled a sigh of relief because Hugo didn’t seem to know anything.
