ECLAIRE was surprised to see Rekker as soon as she stepped out of the carriage while being assisted by Graham (who also looked confused by Rekker's appearance).
[I know that Rekker went to the academy first, but why is he waiting for me?]
The fact that her brother looked worried made her nervous.
"Rekker, you look pale," Eclaire said worriedly. "What happened?"
If her brother was acting this way, then it only meant it had something to do with their family. She hoped she was wrong, but her gut feeling was almost always correct.
[But please let me be wrong this time.]
"Noona, we need to go back home," Rekker said anxiously, then he leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Father collapsed, and he hasn't regained consciousness as of this moment."
She gasped.
Even Graham, who had sharp hearing, turned to them with a worried look on his face.
