Lady Guila’s gaze remained fixed on the ornate tapestry hanging in the dimly lit chamber as she admonished Tyler with a touch of exasperation. “If you intend to stand there in silence and continue to make me uncomfortable, it might be best if you depart. After all, you’re a clerk, not a bodyguard.”Tyler, struck by her words, found himself in a state of bewilderment, contemplating how to articulate his message to Lady Guila. His heart raced relentlessly, his pulse matching the drumming of his thoughts, as he struggled to form each syllable. It was as if he meticulously counted every word and weighed the implications of his choices.The room seemed to constrict, tension thickening the air as Tyler stood with his hands clenched behind his back.

“What did you do to my mother?” Andrea demanded, his voice trembling with worry as she gazed at Tyler. He had just received a call that Lady Guia was unconscious and being treated by the doctor inside. Andrea’s eyes were filled with concern, and she noticed Tyler’s tense expression, with sweat glistening on his forehead. Outside the room, Fiorenzo and others waited anxiously, following the doctor’s instructions to stay put.“Answer me!” Andrea thundered, quickly grabbing Tyler’s shirt and staring into his eyes. Tyler felt suffocated, unable to break free from Andrea’s strong grip.“What the heck are you doing?” Tyler protested, struggling to escape Andrea’s grasp, which seemed unyielding.“Andrea, what’s going on?” Fiorenzo asked, looking utterly confused about the situation as he also tried to break Andrea’s hold.Tyler’s face turned red, and he felt the tension in the room rise. Andrea’s veins were pulsating on his forehead, his eyes darkening. Tyler was taken aback by Andrea’s inte
Andrea’s frustration bubbled beneath the surface as he fixed his intense gaze upon the hesitant doctor. Everyone else in the room, on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaited the news about Lady Guila’s condition. The suspense was palpable, and the doctor’s reluctance to speak only added to their collective anxiety. He rolled his eyes at the group, then released a deep sigh, clearly burdened by the weight of his words.“I’m sorry to have to say this, but Lady Guila suffered a severe heart attack, and it led to something even more critical,” the doctor began, his voice trailing off as if his eyes alone could convey the depth of his apprehension. The tension in the room continued to mount, like a crescendo building toward an unknown climax.“And then what?” Andrea’s impatience boiled over. “Just speak plainly and spare us this unnecessary suspense, or I swear I’ll be the one to pull your tongue out!” He snapped, silencing Tyler, who was on the verge of speaking. Tyler clasped his hands
