Jennifer was out of danger, and Hilliard was leaving Forden for Gliethien. He would fly out from a private airport within the hour.
Lucinda and Cyrus then drove to the private airport.
They sat together in the back seat. Lucinda glanced at Cyrus from time to time.
Her brother was reading a newspaper. Where sunlight streamed through the window, it formed a halo around his hair. His handsome profile was a picture of concentration.
“What’s wrong?” Cyrus asked when he realized she was staring.
After a momentary hesitation, Lucinda asked, “Cyrus, is there anything you want to tell me?”
Cyrus paused.
“Nothing.”
Lucinda sat silently and stared out of the window.
If Cyrus didn’t want to talk about it, then it couldn’t be anything important.
It wasn’t long before they arrived at the airport. Lucinda wrapped her arms around Hilliard and gave him a big hug.
“Hilliard, thank you.”
Hilliard ruffled Lucinda’s soft hair. He had looked distracted when he first arrived, but now he smiled.
“Silly girl.”
The three of them chatted a while.

It was about time for Hilliard to board the plane.
“Wait! Mr. Hilliard, Mr. Cyrus, Miss Lucinda, something has happened!”
Hilliard was already on the boarding ladder when Malcolm rushed over.
Hilliard stopped and turned around.
“What’s wrong?”
“Miss Turner fainted. Mrs. Turner fears that there might have been a mistake made in the operation that damaged a nerve in her brain. She needs Mr. Hilliard to take another look.”
Jennifer had fainted?
Lucinda frowned, confused.
Hilliard had performed the operation himself. He wouldn’t make such a mistake.
