Rebecca Quentin had been back from the hospital for a few days. Only upon her return did she discover that the servants who had previously cared for her had all been dismissed. The newly assigned caretakers treated her even more cautiously than before. Consequently, Rebecca Quentin was now treated like a deity; they aided her with every step and cautioned her against exerting herself with every move, doing everything short of feeding her.
This treatment was likely ordered by Howard Geoffrey himself. Rebecca Quentin sincerely felt guilty towards the dismissed servants. After all, they had cared for me diligently, and it was my own recklessness... But every time I think about how Howard went to such lengths for my sake, my heart feels oddly moved.
