" Hey, Edward long time no see, it's been a long while since we last saw each other, looks like you have been very busy lately?
Glenard greeted his classmate and friend, Edward Cassidy, and then led him inside the house as Ethan follow them
Not long after Edward arrived, the housemaid brought them a tea as Rosette, Glenard's wife ask the servant to prepare for them before she joined Glenard and Ethan in the living room
" Hi Eddie, it's been a while, oh I am glad that you came over, we are only inviting our close friends and family for our son's wedding, and since you are here now I may as well give the wedding invitation
I am sorry that you didn't make it to their engagement party but I do hope that you can make it to the wedding this time "
Rosette smile as she passed the wedding invitation to Edward. Rosette and Edward are somehow related as Edward is Rosette's cousin from a distant relative
They also grew up together and studied at the same university as Glenard and Marcus
".... Oh, hello cousin, well.... I am very sorry about that, as your husband said earlier I have been very busy at work lately
Thank you for the invitation, I will make sure to find time for it in my hectic schedule as I don't want to miss this special moment
Anyway, the reason why I came here is very important and I need to talk to you and to Marcus's family together"
Edward smiled awkwardly at his distant cousin as he accepted the invitation and thanked her before he told her that he wanted to talk to them and to Marcus and his family together
" Oh??? I wonder what is so important that you came here to ask us and Marcus's family to have a seemingly confidential matter? Oh, you are making me quite nervous just hearing you talk like that it feels like you are about to drop an ominous disaster to us?
Rosette ask and was instantly alarmed by the toned and the seriousness in Edward's face as he said those words
Rosette then looked at her husband and her son who both wears a grave expression on their faces
Rosette gulp and swallow her saliva as she like her mouth is parched dry. But her saliva is not enough to ease the sudden fear that was tugging at her heart, seeing the cold glasses of lemonade on the center table, she grabbed the glass and gulped down the lemonade without stopping until she finished it in one go she then stands up all of a sudden and looked at Ethan, Glenard and her distant cousin, Edward
Ah? What are the three of you still sitting there? If Eddie wanted to talk to us with Marcus and his family around, I guess that the reason why he came here is indeed important
For him to leave his work just to talk to us only means that this matter has something to do with Kate"
Rosette said as she walked ahead of the three men leaving them still sitting in the living room and looking at each other as the thing that Rosette said is actually true, the reason why Edward came to their house is that Kate had escaped from the Sanitarium
As the three of them were shocked by Rosette's reaction and her, guessing the reason why Edward came to visit them after a long time without any communication except for the time they sent Kate to the Sanitarium, the three of them were stunned by as they came to their senses the three of them stand up and hurried to catch up with Rosette who is already crossing the street to go to Marcus ancestral home
When they catch up with Kate, she was already ringing the doorbell, and they can see that one of the housemaids is hurrying over to open the gate
Once they get inside and Marcus learned about Edward's sudden visit he led them all into the library and asks the housemaid to call Simone, Morgana, and Arriane before telling the other housemaid to prepare some snack
" Glenard, Marcus, I know that the two of you trusted me and treated me like a brother, but I have failed you as I fail to do my job properly
I fail to manage the Sanitarium well and it led to a big problem as Kate escape the sanitarium today
I don't know how she did it, but she managed to get the nurses at the sanitarium to trust her and let their guards against her down.
I was really shocked when they called to inform me about it. Apparently, she managed to make the nurses put a television in her ward
Previously, she was watching the news on the television when she suddenly had a fit, screaming loud saying that your daughter can't marry Ethan
That day is actually the day of your engagement party. After that night, the nurses said that she started to behave differently
She is somewhat nice and approachable unlike her usual self
As I was busy with work, I didn't know that she already manages to become friends with the nurses and the elderly, she managed to make them agree to take the straitjacket off and untie her as she was tied to the hospital bedpost because she is always making trouble for the nurses
I only learned about this thing today when I went to the sanitarium after they called me
I already ask my people to look for her, I came here to inform you about it and asked not to let the authority knows about it yet
Please, for the sake of our friendship, if this matter becomes known to the authority I am afraid that they will shut the sanitarium down and many of the employees there has been working there all their lives"
Edward scratched his head as he started to explain the problem regarding Kate, after that he begs them not to report the incident to the authorities yet.
