Late at night inside the villa, Damien Sterling was met with a respectful greeting from Mrs. Harris. "Mr. Sterling, you're back."
"How is Emma Hart doing?" Damien inquired, glancing towards the upstairs.
"Miss Emma was quite serene today. She spent the day painting in her room, didn't make a fuss, and ate her meals on time," Mrs. Harris reported the day's events concerning Emma to Damien.
"Good, you can go to sleep now," Damien said after taking a sip of water, then he proceeded upstairs.
He quietly opened Emma's room door, hearing her steady breathing, and felt a wave of relief wash over him. He had been preoccupied all day with the Michael Johnson issue and hadn't been able to check on Emma. She was truly a handful.
