"THAT'S the compensation that Miss Dahlia asked for, Father," Nero, who was sitting on the receiving chair in front of his father, said. "I accepted it, since I thought it was something that I could do without putting our family at a disadvantage."
Yes, he gave the report to his father regarding Dahlia's request.
But he didn't want Neoma to hear about it, so he brought his father to the study to talk while his twin sister and their mother were in the main bedroom.
"Nero, it sounds dangerous," his father, who was sitting behind the mahogany desk, said worriedly. "I didn't even know that Novak is already dead."
"You know Novak, Father?"
"Yes, and your mother was pretty close to him," his father said. "Novak was the one who helped your mother cross to the other world. But your mother had been trapped in the ice as soon as she crossed over, so I guess she doesn't know what happened to Novak either."
