Lilia stepped into the mansion, with Evie quietly following behind. As they entered, Evie spoke softly, "Mrs. Lilia, aren't you going to eat?"
Lilia turned slightly and replied gently, "You don't have to worry, Evie. Let me see my husband first. I'll come down once I'm done."
Evie bowed respectfully. "There's no problem, Mrs. Lilia."
With a nod, Lilia quickly ascended the stairs. She was eager to see Zethan—truthfully, his arrival had come as a surprise. She hadn't expected him today.
Reaching the bedroom, she opened the door—but to her surprise, Zethan wasn't there. Her eyes widened slightly.
Where was he?
She checked the bathroom. Empty.
Puzzled, she stepped back out and began descending the stairs. Evie, noticing the shift in her expression, walked over with concern.
"Mrs. Lilia, is something wrong?" she asked softly, seeing the worry etched on Lilia's face.
"My husband… where is he?" Lilia whispered, barely audible.
