Although Matthew had told Count Lyndone to entrust Averly to him, Count Lyndone still insisted on not leaving Trigas and even set up a tent in front of the clinic.
Matthew tuts in annoyance, "He's so stubborn."
Ruby replied, "It's okay. He's just worried about his daughter."
Count Lyndone was indeed an arrogant and somewhat scoundrel man, but Ruby could not deny that she saw a purple color enveloping Count Lyndone's body.
The man was frightened, not only because he was afraid that Averly could not marry an honorable noble man, but also because he was afraid that Averly would not survive.
"At least he's still trying to be a good father," Ruby whispered, "If I had been like Young Lady Averly, perhaps Marquess Barnette would have celebrated my death."
Matthew put his arm around Ruby's shoulders and patted her arm as if he wanted to say that Ruby had a husband who would always take good care of her now.
