The lady nodded.
"Yes, she has always been afraid of snakes that even just a talk about it has her trembling. I do not understand why she is so afraid of them, but I recall her fainting one time at the sight of them. I have never seen her afraid of something to that extent."
"I see..." Olive stood up to his feet. "Thank you very much for the information." He turned around to leave.
"Please send my regards to her. I hope she stays safe," the woman said.
Olive glanced at her with a barely discernible smile before leaving.
….
Valentine had arrived before Olive.
He sat down on the couch and crossed his legs.
Fears? Sick? What was going on? Was something wrong with Avelina? He was very apprehensive, as he does not recall anything being wrong with her before he left.
But, come to think of it, Draven did mention that Avelina was sick during the family dinner. He just did not state what sort of sickness it was.
