Chapter 70
Richard entered his house and was taken aback by the dazzling brightness that filled the space. Normally cloaked in a dim, moody ambiance, today the windows and curtains were wide open, and the chandelier emitted a magnificent glow. The transformation left Richard feeling as if he had entered a completely different and airy world.
"What on earth happened here? Did a spotlight convention just wrap up in my living room?" he questioned aloud.
Just then, Juliette emerged from the kitchen, being assisted by a maid pushing her on a wheelchair.
"Oh, you're awake already? I expected you to be out for at least three days. I guess you are pretty strong after all," Richard said, astonishment evident in his voice.
Juliette smiled warmly.
"Do you like the lighting? It felt so stifling in here, so I had them turn on the lights and open the windows and curtains," she explained.
