After a week more, Benjamin decided to visit Louisa and Michael. And the new baby, if he would be allowed to see the child.
"Good morning, sir!" Randolf greeted her and got the hat and coat from him.
"Hello, Randolf!" Benjamin smiled sincerely to the butler. He remembered how the servant was good to him, even though a bit cautious, when he was sick.
"Come in, please."
"Thank you."
Benjamin didn't give three steps inside and a blonde woman came to him. Emmeline. SHe was much older, but still, it was possible to see how she and Louisa were alike. And how she looked like her deceased sister, Ava Dubois.
"Ben, what a pleasure to see you here! And well!" She said, smiling and he offered his hand so she put put hers there in order for him to kiss the back of it.
"The pleasure is all mine, Your Grace."
"What are you doing here?" Michael's rude and harsh voice echoed. Emmeline trembled. She could hardly recognize her son.
