Mila Anderson, like all other noble and wealthy ladies, spent her days playing cards, shopping, and traveling with her peers. When had she ever truly accompanied her daughter, Adele Horne?
Adele Horne was the Horne Family's only daughter. While everyone supposedly doted on her, this affection, much like the old lady's, was largely materialistic. Spiritually, very few genuinely cared for her.
Hearing the old lady, Mila Anderson understood that she too was exasperated with Gian Horne and genuinely worried about their daughter's illness. This eased some of Mila's own resentment. She stood up and said to the old lady, "What about Julia? Wasn't she taking Adele to the doctor? Where is she now? Mom, I'll go upstairs and check on Adele."
"Julia went to the company," the old lady replied.
Disapproval immediately surfaced in Mila Anderson's eyes.
