Henry tried to catch his breath as he looked up at Rafael who seemed surprised by what he did. He did not want to hear any apology from Rafael. The deed was already done and Rafael had made an enemy out of him. There would be no striving for peace in the future since Rafael had disrespected two Harrisons.
Henry just wanted to get out of there now, but he feared having to pass Rafael to get out.

"Breakfast is ready," Edwin announced. He feared his thoughts about Rafael killing the man was true since Henry was breathing heavily below Rafael who was silent. He came just at the right time. "Young master," he said.
