Leopold's gaze deepened, akin to a frozen deep pool, unfathomable.

"So he's been at home tending to flowers every day since he was a kid?"

"He loves flowers. All the flowers in our garden were planted by him. He even talks to them."

Leah chuckled, "Tanya often takes him out on trips, seeking doctors for his treatments. Among all of our cousins, she favors him the most. I sometimes wonder if he's her son."

She cheekily pulled a funny face.
