Damien returned to the estate and parted ways with Quinn immediately to meet with Eloise.
Nearing his chamber, he spotted Hannah knocking on the door with a tray in her hands.
"Is that for my wife?" Damien asked, making his presence known.
"Lord Hawthorne," Hannah curtsied. "Lady Hawthorne requested some medicine and tea since she wasn't feeling well."
Damien opened the door and held it for Hannah to enter. "Set the tray down. I shall give it to her."
Hannah did as she was told and hurried out to give the pair privacy.
Damien closed the door behind Hannah and quietly approached the bed. "Eloise, your medicine is here," he said, sitting in front of her. "Hannah brought it along with the tea you wanted."
"Damien?" Eloise softly called back in response. "When did you return?"
"Just now," Damien answered. "Are you feeling unwell? You didn't tell me before. I wouldn't have left."
