Madelyn enjoyed the peace, casually shutting the door behind her and leaving Nate outside.

It had been days since he'd seen Natalie, and Nate missed her so much that he would cry at night. Natalie used

According to Sadie and the other servants, only Madelyn and Nate were downstairs then, so. she must know

what happened.

“Got the warm water!” Madelyn’s voice cfrom behind as she hurried over with a basin.

Ubon seeing Brian, a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.

Brian had known Madelyn for over two decades. He might not know her inside out but he could always read her

expressions, and this time, she wasn’t fooling him.

Madelyn didn’t speak but quickly approached, crouching down in front of Nate, intending to clean the blood
