章節 73: Confused

"Beatrix, I have some important things to tell you."

I just finished packing my clothes and Faith Vienne's when my father emerged from the door. The grave expression on his face made me suddenly worried. It was the first time I saw the unusual expression on his handsome countenance.

"Please come in Papa. I just finished packing."

I closed my large suitcase after stuffing the last of my necessities inside and closed it. The door behind me opened and closed. When I turned towards father, he was standing in front of me, hand firmly wrapped on the side of the crib where Faith Vienne lay.

He didn't say anything at first. His gaze glued to his granddaughter who was happily wiggling inside her crib. He appeared to be contemplating. Perhaps he was searching for the right words to say before he told me the news.

"Papa? Is everything all right?"
