After comforting Annaliese for a few minutes, Lothur took her into the house, feeling a not-so-good feeling at having to reveal everything to Viktoria.
But he went through with it, surprising his wife by arriving home next to Annaliese so early in the morning.
"Lothur?" Viktoria came out of her quarters and went into the living room to welcome her man, dressed in a red sweater.
But seeing Lothur and Annaliese finishing taking off their shoes at the front door, she frowned and looked at the two without understanding what was going on.
That had been the normal time Lothur had been coming home for the past few days. But Annaliese being there was something out of the ordinary.
Besides, since Viktoria's younger sister had been indisposed lately, she couldn't help but question. "Anna, what are you doing here at this hour? Has something happened?"
Gulp!
Annaliese looked down and felt her tears trickling down her eyes.
