From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 182

Adolphus gently let go of Fidelia’s wrist. Laurinda leaned forward, her voice anxious. “How is she?”

“Fidelia’s not doing well,” Adolphus said quietly. “She’s got problems with several organs. I’ll put together a prescription to help her recover, and I want her to follow a special diet too.”

He had more on his mind, but he needed to talk to Earl about Fidelia’s situation before he made any big decisions.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle this. I’m going to see Earl. Stay here and keep Fidelia company.”

Adolphus stood, smoothed down his clothes, and walked out, heading for Earl’s office.

Laurinda watched him go, a small sense of relief blooming in her chest. She wrapped her arms around Fidelia, resting her head gently on Fidelia’s shoulder.

“Hey, you’re going to be okay. I promise, I won’t let anything happen to you. As soon as you feel up to it, I’ll bring you home to the estate. Josh and Elin have been waiting for you.”

Fidelia managed a faint smile. “Alright. Once I’m feeling better, I’ll come home with you.”

The idea of leaving didn’t scare Fidelia anymore. She was thinking more clearly these days, realizing how much she’d let her talents slip. Once she was strong enough, she could finally help Laurinda again.

Laurinda’s heart lifted at Fidelia’s words. She started chatting about the FarrVector press conference, even pulling up a video for Fidelia to watch.

Seeing her and her husband’s designs come to life left Fidelia stunned and overjoyed. It really did feel like watching a child of theirs being born.

Tears spilled down her cheeks before she could stop them. She never imagined she’d live to see this day. The new generation was so talented, so full of promise.

Laurinda just sat with her, quietly holding her hand and letting Fidelia cry out all the pain she’d been carrying. Maybe, just maybe, this was what Fidelia needed to finally heal.

“Fidelia, I’m going to make things right for Farr. I swear, none of the people who hurt my parents or Farr are going to get away with it.”
