She didn't keep her mouth shut, and Alessandra had to deal with many letters from her relatives wanting to know why their family mines were being talked about.

Rose is not doing so well since she no longer walks around. Your father and many relatives are by her side at this time. Let Elijah meet her once, so there are no regrets," said Alfred.
