The villa's servant was taken aback upon seeing Edwin.

Why did he come back at this hour?

The servant contemplated asking Edwin if he wished to have a midnight snack, but Edwin gestured with a wave of his hand, signaling that he preferred not to engage in conversation.

Edwin went upstairs by himself and collapsed onto the plush bed.

He didn't tend to his wound. He simply closed his eyes, but couldn't get rid of the image of Laura in tears.
