She also prepared a bowl with cold water and a towel was put inside it. She put it on the table beside the bed. She has compressed Gerald’s head with the wet towel several times.

“I feel better, my dear. Thank you so much for taking care of me.” Gerald sounded a bit weak but it seemed like he looked better now. He was smiling because he was so happy that Virginia would take care of him.

"So, gentlemen, are we to believe that this orchestrated chaos is simply your way of getting our attention?"‌Vincent's laughter, grandiose and boisterous, filled the air. "You catch on quickly, young Cedric. But then again, intelligence seems to run in the family."‌Cedric's retort was swift and sardonic.
