Chương 40: An Unexpected Visit

For the rest of the evening, Lady continues to mope around.

She stayed inside her bedroom the whole time, refusing to be seen by everyone. That's until she hears one of the maids calling for her a couple of hours later. She first heard a knock on the door, which was followed by her saying, "Young Miss? Are you still awake?"

"Unfortunately," she responded listlessly. 

"Please, don't be like that, my lady. It's a good thing you're still awake. Someone's here to see you." 

"Huh? Someone is?"

Now, that got Lady perking up from beneath the heap of pillows.

Apart from her grandparents, nobody really pays her a visit. But they only come during the day because they usually work at night. So, that calls the question, "Who is it?"

"You should go out and see for yourself, Young Miss."

"Hmmm… Suspicious. Could Father be pranking me?" 

"Come again?"

"Nothing! I said I'm coming!"
