The pain on Amelia Cobb's back was nothing compared to the killing power of Sadie's words.
"Assistant Walker said that Mr. Robinson has not rested since he returned that day. He has been working non-stop and even got himself admitted to the hospital. He has been worrying for his wife, going back and forth, and even his iron-like body can't bear it."
Amelia understood that Sadie was playing the pity card for Christopher Robinson.
When the protagonist was unconscious and couldn't speak, she, the housekeeper, could speak out what she saw and heard so that Amelia, the chief culprit, would feel a little sympathy.
Sadie had become Christopher's helper.
And it was a helper that Amelia could understand.

How strange! How strange!
Half an hour later, the doctor came up, and Amelia was in the bedroom watching Sadie give Christopher a physical cooling.
