After returning to Soyis, Fiona Schmidt never left her home again, and her phone remained switched off until Emma Benson managed to reach her in the middle of the night.
Through the receiver, Emma Benson's voice sounded extremely anxious, as if she would rush over if she couldn't get through.
Fiona Schmidt didn't hide anything, she confessed the course of events to her and relayed Norton Abyss's words exactly, also stating her own position.
She said, "Sister-in-law, I still like him, but I won't insist anymore. Let's let nature take its course, let's put this aside for now and not bring it up..."
"If this is your decision, sister-in-law respects you." Emma Benson's voice was heavy, and she offered some comforting words before they both hung up.
As a result, Fiona Schmidt couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, lying on her side and staring at the window, lost in thought, all the way until dawn.
