Arabella Vanderbilt's obviously distressed expression still elicited a satisfying smile of relief from Juliana Vanderbilt.
However, when she looked up at Oliver Timmerman, her expression was still one of sadness.
"Brother Oliver, my sister, she..."
Her words stuck, filled with helplessness and sorrow.
It went without saying.
Oliver Timmerman felt a tightening in his chest as he looked down at Juliana Vanderbilt's tear-stained face and raised his hand to wipe her tears away.
"Just wait a bit longer, give her some time. I will think of ways to compensate her as much as possible..."
Juliana could only bite her lip and nod.
After a moment of silence, Juliana Vanderbilt spoke again:
"I don't know how my sister arrived today. Brother Oliver, let's go see her off..."
Oliver Timmerman gave her a glance and nodded with a warm smile.
