The Duke looked at them but did not say anything and walked out. Seeing his reaction, the women were relieved. Lady Robert looked at her grandmother with a smile of approval. She had told the story so well that even if Anastasia were to tell the Duke the truth later, he might consider it a misunderstanding Or just Anastasia's exaggeration.
For the first time, Duke Thompson went to Anastasia's courtyard. When Anastasia heard that the Duke was asking to see her, she was shocked. After all, he had never taken the initiative to come over, not even when her mother was alive.
"Help me," Anastasia said. She had sprained her ankle, so she had sent for Grater to take a look. Since she had refused the Duchess's gift, Lala had forgotten to ask the physician to come and examine her injury. When the Duke arrived, Grater had just finished applying medicine to her ankle.
"Your Grace," Grater bowed as the Duke walked into the small hall.
