Not surprising, there was some discomfort in the room for a moment. Nobody knew what to say next, did they have to give Rekha condolences, did they have to comfort her, did they have to apologize to her.
Phoebe and Maureen shared a similar distressed look as they started drawing the same conclusions. The key was likely connected to Rekha's parent's death. They had died in the same year as Cillian.
It made sense now why Edward had taken responsibility for Rekha, why he gave her everything she ever needed. It explained why he bought her a big house and assigned her dozens of maids, why he attended her school meetings and did everything a parent ought to have done. Maybe guilt had been eating him up all these years.
A tomb like silence continued to swallow the room, as all eyes focused on Rekha who appeared to be in distress and confused. She was looking at old man Lee with unanswered questions in her eyes.
