Zwetta shook her head. "No, I don't know her."

"If you don't know Elena then how do you know Elena and her full name?" Christian asks again impatiently.

"An old woman whom I accidentally met two hours ago recounted the tragic fate of the family in front of their razed house," Zwetta replied curtly and concisely.

"Huh what?"

Not liking the way Christian was looking at her, Zwetta finally told him what Mrs. Elle had told her two hours ago. Zwetta, who doesn't like to talk much, only said the gist of the conversation, but it still took Christian by surprise. His face looked so pale.

"I can't imagine their feelings if they know the house that has many memories has been razed to the ground at this time, they must be very sad," Zwetta said quietly, Zwetta had not yet realized the change in Christian's emotions that were so clearly visible.
