Once they were gone, the oppressive silence lingered for a moment longer before Mrs. Rena collapsed into a nearby bench, burying her face in her hands. The workers and Irithel gathered around her, offering what little comfort they could, but the atmosphere was thick with despair.
Thankfully, her kids Mia and Finn weren't here and saw this.
"Everyone, please return to your work, I think Mrs. Rena needs some alone time," Adrian called out which the workers agreed and after offering encouraging and consoling words, they started to leave the aviary.
Only Miss Jenny, Irithel, and Adrian were left.
But, Adrian wanted to be left alone with Mrs. Rena. So he whispered to Irithel to take Miss Jenny and leave, he will take care of Mrs. Rena.
After seeing the tow off, Adrian approached Mrs. Rena slowly, sitting down opposite her. "Mrs. Rena, I'm sorry to say this, but..."
"This is all your fault."
