Early that morning, as soon as I stepped out of my room, I noticed you were gone—of course, I find you here. Please, don’t let this issue spark another fight with Maggie. You just got out of the hospital; we’ve all been worried sick about you.
Ben already said he’d handle everything. Besides, Ben and Maggie are just having a spat; there’s no need for you to get upset over this.
Fiona hurried over and gently took Mrs. Foster’s arm, her voice soft and soothing, putting on the air of a thoughtful confidant.
Watching the two of them, Marguerite’s face remained cold and unreadable.

“Fiona, you can spare me the pep talk. Even if I drop dead right here, I will never let her get away with this. I was nothing but good to her, and look where it’s gotten me. Did she ever consider what we once meant to each other?” Mrs. Foster’s voice trembled with anger.
It was true—Mrs. Foster had treated her well, and even when Mrs. Foster stormed into the office, causing a scene more than once, Fiona had always been patient with her. But lately, her behavior had grown more and more outrageous; Fiona simply couldn’t put up with it any longer.
Besides, this was between Benjamin and herself. She didn’t want a third person meddling, but of course, that never stopped anyone.
