But the count couldn't even be sad about her death because he was so tired of dealing with her. He was rather happy about her dying. And, he thanked that baby for releasing him from that burden.
After making sure the baby was doing fine, the count proceeded with his plan and dumped the baby at Felix's door.
Felix ended up accepting the baby as his sister after that. The count didn't want Felix to know it was his child. That's why he wrote a letter like that, pulling his crazy mother who was rumoured to have run away. He tried his best to make sense of the events in that letter and convince that boy into taking that child in.
So, that's how Felix had been raising his own child all these years.
A child he never knew he had. And a kid that was born from the most traumatic experience in his life.
Anne...was his daughter.
They were not siblings.
But, father and daughter.
For Felix, it felt like the world was collapsing.
