Through the grand living room, Rosemary followed Sampson to the master bedroom on the first floor.
The moment they walked in, they were greeted by the sight of a garden that seemed to be right out of a fairy tale, visible through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
The room was set up as a cozy tea room, with a walk-in closet and an expansive bathroom beyond, and only then did they reach the bedroom.
On the spacious, luxurious bed lay a kind elderly woman, with various medical devices by her side providing real-time updates on her health.
A caregiver and a servant stood quietly nearby. On seeing visitors, they stood up and bowed respectfully.
"This is the famous doctor we've invited," Sampson introduced Rosemary, glancing at the two women, "Tell her about any recent changes in Old Mrs. Griffith's condition."
"Yes," the servants replied, showing great respect for Sampson. They turned to Rosemary and in unison called out, "Professor."
