Clara finally got the answer she wanted, but as she watched them stand side by side, a perfect picture of harmony, an unbearable sadness welled up inside her.
She watched their figures disappear through the doorway before taking a deep breath and turning back to her room.
There wasn't much time left for her.
Ian and Rea had just gotten engaged. Having a dead person's things in the house would bring bad luck.
She didn’t want to trouble anyone, so she needed to gather her belongings now and burn them before she was gone.
However, when she looked around the room, she hesitated. Everything in it, from her clothes to her toiletries, even her schoolbag, had been personally chosen by Ian. He actually was not someone who was particularly attentive.
However back when she first arrived at the Cumberland Family’s home, she hadn’t known she was allergic to milk. She had unknowingly drunk what the servants gave her. As a result, she broke out in hives and developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
If Ian hadn’t checked in on her and brought medicine … she didn’t know how much worse it would have gotten.
