Victor took the umbrella, and Tommy instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, immediately hugging his brother's arm. So cold, so cold.
Benny furrowed his little brows and, after Victor took the umbrella, led his brother back.
Victor opened the umbrella, but only held it over Benjamin, leaving himself drenched in the rain.
"Ever since the day I left Eagle Isle, I knew what I was doing, what I might face. Benjamin Chu, I don't mind if you want to die, but don't claim it's out of love for me. I don't need that," Victor said in a deep voice, yet these words fell into the rain with an added dampness.
Tommy went back shivering and hugged Polly Sutton, "Mommy, cold."
Polly stood up holding him, took Benny's hand, "Come, Mommy will take you for a bath."
"Miss, what about young master and Lord Parker..." The butler was momentarily unsure what to do. Just leave them like this?
