Felix didn't know what the count's purpose was to suddenly confess all this.
Maybe he was telling this because he couldn't let this secret die with him? Or was it because he wanted to mess with Felix before he died?
Either way, this had a good side and a bad side. While he was now shaken by this truth,
On one hand, he was glad he got to know the truth. Though it's shocking and unexpected.
Couldn't he have gotten worse news? Isn't it at least good that he knows Anne is actually related to him and not a total stranger?
'I should talk to Anne...'
Felix was feeling weak all over. He was too tired to even think about a further step because he get frustrated about the ways things could go wrong. As much as he wanted to solve and get past this problem, he wasn't made to be that active in hard times.
As usual, due to his stress, he got severely sick. It began with a slight fever then slowly proceeded to get worse even with the care of Asher.
