"It's all right. Let's go," Claire says enthusiastically, dragging Katrina out of the ward.
From the bed, Marcellus watches their departing figures with a sense of foreboding. He feels so anxious that he wants to go out with them.
But both women walk away and leave him alone.
Marcellus is a little worried about Katrina.
When Claire found out that he is dating a girl of ordinary family background, not to mention an orphan, she strongly disagreed with him and demanded that he break up with her at once.
If Katrina is left alone with Claire, Marcellus is afraid that his mother will embarrass her with hurtful words. But seeing his mother behave so treat Katrina warmly these past few days, Marcellus wonders if she is trying to be open-minded and attempting to accept Katrina.
After all, Katrina is such an ideal woman. Anyone who spends enough time with her is bound to like her.
