Bab 531: Catching of age

Vincent, Eve and Eugene left the Moriarty mansion and arrived at Dawson's residence in Meadow. There was a deep frown on Eve's face, and once they got down from the carriage, she quickly ran inside and made her way towards Lady Aubrey's room. 

Her eyes fell on the older woman, who was now resting on the bed with her eyes closed. 

Eugene said to Eve in a low voice, "Rosetta and I didn't notice the changes because Lady Aubrey made sure we didn't know. She has been coughing blood, and it is only now that I know about it. I should have understood when she said she wanted to wash her own clothes."

When Eve stepped into the room, Rosetta, sitting next to Lady Aubrey, went to get up. But Eve waved her hand for the vampiress to sit down and took the other side of the bed. 

Eve's hand reached out to gently hold Lady Aubrey's hand, and the woman, without opening her eyes, said, 

"Eve…"

"It is me," Eve replied.
