Bella's POV
After whispering some comforting words to Penny, I surrendered to the medication's pull and fell into deep slumber.
For days, nobody bothered me.
I finally got the peaceful rest I desperately needed.
Eventually, Genevieve showed up.
I had no desire to see her, but she spoke softly, "Mrs. Sinclair sent word. She's requesting your presence at an event alongside Mr. Sinclair."
Valentine's Day was approaching.
During this time, women offered prayers to the heavens seeking wisdom and love.
Each year, people decorated the streets with colorful festive ornaments for the celebration.
The celebrations intensified daily, and on the actual festival day, the roads overflowed with celebrants and buzzed with activity.
Helena had clearly arranged for Julian and me to observe the decorations together, hoping to strengthen our bond.
Since Helena had commanded it, I couldn't refuse.
I nodded curtly at Genevieve. "Fine."
