"You really don't remember?" Cedric asked again while observing her reaction.
Aubrey frowned while trying hard to remember if ever she had a fight with the assassin but failed to do so. Her head ached every time she tried to remember until Cedric holds her wrist.
She was startled and looked at him.
"Don't force yourself. It is not good for your mental health" he said. His eyes turned gentle with sadness. Aubrey felt warmth from her deepest heart after hearing his words.
They stared at each other for awhile but a knocked from outside breaks this silent warmth.
"Come in" Aubrey said.
The door opened and a nurse appeared while her medical records are on the nurse's hands. He's a man with ordinary look and wears an eyeglass. He looks like a book nerd.
"Dr. Dennis permitted you to leave the hospital and I have completed the discharged procedure. You can leave this day, Miss Reinhold" he said and gave the files to Cedric.
Cedric accepted it and flipped through every page. He nodded after he flipped the last page.
The nurse left unhurriedly without looking back. Aubrey felt weird from the nurse but set it aside behind her mind.
"I have to inquire Dr. Dennis more about your condition. Just stay here. I'll be right back" he said and left.
Aubrey lied down on the bed. She felt depressed of what happened to her. She was a little girl few days ago but turned into a boy because of heavenly punishment. She sighed and her eyes looked outside the window.
The clear blue sky is relaxing her moisted eyes and the chirping birds sounds like a music that slowly calming down her mind.
She's still seven years old but she already experienced an earth-shattering changes that caught her off guard. She was used to being the only little princess in Reinhold Mansion. However, because of heavenly punishment, she was turned into a 'he'.
She put her right hand on her moisted eyes while holding back herself to cry loudly. She never thought this will happen. Her wish was just to have overpowered strength than any other humans. Yes, her wish is granted but she paid a heavy price.
-----
"Welcome Home, Young Master" when she enters the Reinhold mansion, all of the maids and butlers lined up. They are waiting for her to come back. If it was before, she would be happy but her mood turned back after hearing the word 'young master'.
Her gaze swept through all of the maids and butlers. They are trembling of her terrifying gaze.
"God! Why is he so terrifying right now? He was not like this before" they thought while their backs are sweating. It never occurred to their minds that Aubrey stays the same after that incident.
The incident during the wishing well tradition was concealed by both Reinhold and Conrad Family by giving a compensation and signed a non-disclosure contract. Whoever breached the contract must pay mental damages to Reinhold Family.

"Aubrey!" Andrew just walked out from his room but startled when he saw their maids and butlers, are trembling like a cat. He looked at the entrance door and narrowed his eyes after knowing that it is Aubrey and Cedric.
"You left the hospital? We were not notified about this" he frowned and looked behind Aubrey. His eyes looked back and forth on Aubrey and Cedric.
"The hospital is not safe for her and Dr. Dennis allowed Aubrey to recuperate at home for safety measures" Cedric answered when Aubrey was about to speak but stopped by him.
"Then, prepare a lunch for us, Dominic" Andrew said to the Head Butler of Sue Mansion.
"Yes, Young Master" Dominic replied and left to prepare lunch for them.
"I'll say it straight to the point. There's an assassin yesterday to kill Aubrey. Fortunately, Aubrey escape from the door of death and silence the assassin. We didn't find any relevant information during the investigation but it will be doable if ever the Reinhold and Sue Family hold the investigation together" Cedric said nonchantly.
Andrew was about to sit on the sofa but jolted up after hearing Cedric's words. His eyes showed anger.
"Who the **** want to kill my twin sister?!" he exclaimed angrily while clenching his hand on the arm of the sofa.
"That's why we need to deploy the men of Reinhold and Sue Family" Cedric pointed again of his plan again.
Aubrey just sat on the opposite side of Andrew and Cedric sat on her right side. Aubrey frowned when she felt his presence so strong and cold.
"Yeah, right. No wonder he's a Conrad" Aubrey thought in her mind. Dominic poured them a cup of coffee while waiting for the lunch foods. She sipped on the cup of coffee. Her eyes lit up after savoring the bitter-sweet flavor.
"Is this your creation, Butler Dominic?" she asked. She doesn't hear what Cedric and Andrew are talking about because her mind and tongue are attacked by Butler Dominic's coffee.
"Yes, Young Mi...Master" Dominic almost said the word 'Miss' but, fortunately, he immediately change it. Otherwise, Aubrey will be in a bad mood again.
"From now on, I want to have your coffee every morning, Butler Dominic" she requested.
"Yes, Young Master" Dominic bowed after accepting Aubrey's request.
"Aubrey, are you listening to our discussion or not?" there's a black lines on Andrew's forehead after seeing Aubrey's thoughtlessness about the assassin yesterday.
Aubrey looked at her twin brother's stern eyes and her lips twitched.
"Should I really have to listen? I'm certain they don't need my opinion about it" she thought but nodded to her twin brother.
