Chapter 75

"I think she will be safe."

"Lady Biche…"

"And you are not responsible for the accident. No one knew that would happen."

"However…"

"Don't blame yourself. That doesn't help you at all, Ms. Cordelli. Think about this instead. If she looks at you now, what will she say?"

Beatrice sat down next to her and tilted her head gently.

"Do you think she would have gotten mad at you because you were not with her or would she have said, 'I'm glad you didn't hurt too much, so don't worry.' What do you think?"

She patted her shoulders kindly while looking at her.

Of course, Marianne would have said something to comfort her instead of blaming her. Cordelli recalled her kind and lovely face, voice, and gestures. She would definitely have inquired after her safety first instead of rebuking her or holding her accountable.

Of course, that was on the assumption that she was still alive.
