Lady Hyde was both surprised and stunned: "So soon?! … But, couldn't she be treated here? Why must she…"
Brandan Hyde put down the teacup and stood up from the sofa. His stance was unsteady as he staggered a bit, but quickly stood straight again, his spine as erect as a rod: "Mom, this is already the best outcome. What we wanted was to save her, right? Then what does it matter where she is…"
His voice slightly lowered, and as Lady Hyde looked at his expression, there was an emotion that flashed quickly through Brandan's eyes and was swiftly concealed.
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs. His posture was upright, yet somehow, as Lady Hyde watched, she felt there was a tinge of reluctance to it.
It was as if something was about to crush him.
Has Iris Harris already gone for treatment?
So soon... Brandan didn't even discuss it with her…
And she hadn't had the chance to properly say goodbye to Iris Harris.
Lady Hyde thought with some regret.
