Chapter 566
Rafael shook his head, his voice still charged with excitement.
“No, Septimus isn’t just one person, and it wasn’t Thomas either. There are eleven of them… Wait, who’s
that?”
He noticed a horse circling nearby, with someone slumped over its back. The person’s hair was cascading wildly, making it hard to tell who it was.
Carissa gasped, and hurried over. “It’s Vivi! She’s been ill all the way, and I forgot about her!”
Carissa carefully helped Violet down from the horse. When Violet dismounted, she nearly fell to her knees like Kayla had, cursing as she went.
“You heartless wretch! I accompanied you the whole way, and you forgot about me! Once I’m better, make you regret it.”
Exhausted, Violet leaned on Carissa’s shoulder.

Carissa apologized, “I’m sorry. Let’s get you inside to rest. I was just rushing to get Kayla inside to see her husband.”
Violet didn’t have the energy to scold Carissa further, and asked urgently, “How is he? Is he alright? I wanted to see their reunion, but I can’t go in with General Ziegler injured and me being ill.”
“He’s not in the best condition, but I believe Sebastian will treat him successfully. I’ll help you inside to lie down. A good rest will make you feel better.”
As she spoke, Carissa addressed Rafael, ‘Please call Vanda. We have a patient here.”
Violet was settled in an empty room. She was so tired, she fell into a deep sleep before the medicine was, even ready after Vanda examined her.
All the way here, Violet had been so frustrated. Her health had always been robust, and she rarely suffered from even minor ailments. It was embarrassing that she had failed at a critical moment. She felt like an embarrassment to the Inferno Guild!
When the medicine was ready, Carissa woke Violet up to drink it. Violet sat up and gulped it down, then asked, “How’s Lawrence?”
“I asked Sebastian, and there has been some improvement. After Kayla arrived, his progress has been quite noticeable.”
Violet sighed with relief. “Good, I’m relleved. I’m going to continue sleeping.”
“There’s also good news. Do you want to hear it?” Carissa supported Violet’s head, keeping it from falling back onto the pillow..
“What else is there?” Violet asked, her eyes still heavy with sleep.
“Septimus isn’t Just Lawrence. It’s a group of eleven people–eleven people who were all rescued successfully and are back! They’re all
re at the inn.”
Violet’s sleepy eyes widened in surprise. “Eleven people?”

“Yes. Septimus Tetra is the name of their team. The entire reconnaissance team consists of eleven people.”
Violet sat up abruptly, her excitement making her head spin. “G–Give me a mask. I want to see them. I need to pay my respects and show the admiration that ordinary people have for them…”
She had gotten up so suddenly that she felt dizzy. Grasping Carissa’s hand, she hesitated. “Maybe I should rest a bit first. They aren’t going anywhere.”
“Go ahead and rest!” Carissa said with a smile.
Violet closed her eyes, and exhaustion overwhelmed her like a tidal wave. She fell asleep almost immediately.
Kayla was truly strong. Since her arrival, she had taken on the task of cleaning Lawrence’s wounds, applying medicine, and preparing herbal remedies.
Mira had only shown her once, but Kayla remembered everything perfectly.
Moreover, she was meticulous and cautious in her care. Under her attentive treatment and encouragement, Lawrence’s condition visibly improved.
Violet slept for over ten hours. After a quick wash and freshen–up, she went to see the heroes.
In her role as a member of the Spencer family, she greeted each of them with respect.
She remembered every name and took a special look at Thomas, as she had previously believed Septimus was Thomas.
Several of them looked at Carissa and Violet with questions they were hesitant to ask. Given the circumstances surrounding the remarriage of Thomas‘ wife, they were curious about whether their own wives had remarried.
Finally, it was Benson who asked, “Lady Carissa, may I inquire if my wife has remarried or is still living with my family?”
Carissa was stunned. She didn’t know the answer herself.
But before she could speak, Violet answered, “Your wife hasn’t remarried, and is still living with your family. Your brother’s wife is also the same.”
Violet had learned some details about each family from Claire’s investigation.
The two men immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces reflecting both guilt and longing.
