William Cole returned to Thirteen Hall by eight in the morning, where Minnie Wright was managing everything in an orderly fashion.
Upon seeing William come back, Minnie hurried over, "William, you're back."
"How's the situation with Joshua?"
"It's all taken care of now," William smiled casually and offered an explanation, not wanting Minnie to worry too much.
However, William's pale complexion still caused Minnie to worry. She urged William to rest immediately, assuring him that she could handle the matters of Thirteen Hall.
Watching this capable wife, William took Minnie's hand, "It's so good to have you."
"What's wrong?"
Minnie looked at William with concern.
"It's nothing, I'm going to sleep for a bit." William smiled and shook his head, walked into his room, and lay down on the bed, feeling extremely at ease.
When he awoke, it was already two in the afternoon, and the other people at Thirteen Hall had long since had their lunch.
