Kapitel 422: A glimmer of hope? Or not

Williams had been doing his best to coax his mother into calming down. She had tried to join the search party just like Williams had tried to, but Sir Evan stopped them and asked Williams to take care of his mother and himself since he hadn't completely healed from the poison.

He hadn't wanted to comply, but then someone had to look after their mother. She was worried and even in tears, as she feared something bad had happened to Susan.

Fortunately, he was able to convince her to take a calming tea, which put her to sleep. But he didn't leave her side and just watched her sleep until there was a faint knock on the door, and it slowly opened. 

When he looked at the door, he found Paulina peeking her head in, and when she noticed him, she gently pushed the door with her body as she entered with a tray of snacks and tea in her hand. 

"My Lord..." she greeted in a quiet voice as her eyes went to his mother's sleeping form.
