Ruby was shaking with fear. “Ferrel, are you alright?” she whimpered. Tears were streaming down from her face, onto Ferrel’s. He began to stir slightly. There was only a slight ripple of blood running down the side of his head.
“What’s going on?” Ferrel murmured in confusion.
“Don’t worry. Let’s just try and get out of here,” Ruby said consolingly, as she tried to help him up. She managed to prop him up against the bench, before she took her cellphone out of her bag and phoned Claude, who was also at the wedding. He had taken a quick break from the dress boutique in Tokyo, to be with his old friends on this special day.
“Hi Ruby, we’re all looking for you. Where did you disappear to?” Claude immediately asked with concern.
“Claude, I can’t explain now, but can you please come to the conservatory in the garden?” Ruby asked. “It is urgent,” she added.
