After escorting Robert away in an ambulance, Louisa then returned to her apartment to get ready to go to Cecilia's reception party. She had to come early to the party to accompany Cecilia. She chose not to immediately wear her beautiful gown for fear of being the attention of people on the street.
She only wore light make-up when going to the event, with a bag containing her party gown that she bought when she went with Cecilia. She sent a message to Frank, informing him that she was going to Cecilia and Andrew's reception, so she wouldn't upset her fiancé.
After driving for nearly thirty minutes, finally the taxi that Louisa was in arrived at the venue. When she went inside, no guests had arrived, because the event was still three hours away. Louisa immediately went to the room where Cecilia was being made up. Her arrival made Cecilia happy.
