Outside the room, John Fame stood at the door, turning his head to ask the maid, "What is she doing inside?"
"Sir, the lady has finished her dinner and is now taking a bath."
"Hmm." John Fame responded, paused momentarily, "You may go now."
He pushed open the door and entered.

It had come to this point between them.
John Fame just hoped to resolve those people as soon as possible, to never have to worry about the rear, then, he could explain everything to her.

He couldn't risk her, let alone let her be hurt by others again.
