Otherwise, I would’ve suffered more.”Henrietta quickly comforted her as well. “You’ve been very thoughtful, Aubree. In fact, you’ve even been treating Old Mr. Queen like your own grandpa! We’re very grateful.”After saying that, she remembered how Lucian had also contributed to curing Alfred over the years. “Lucian, you too. Thank you,” she added.In response, Lucian slightly nodded. “We were just doing our duties as the younger generation.”Hearing that, Henrietta immediately glanced at their outfits and couldn’t help but say, “Good things come in pairs, right?
