A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1851

The old woman followed her out of the room a while later. “Miss Wynn, when you’re finally hungry, just tell me and I’ll make you something nice for that empty stomach. House rules, sweetie: you can move around and do whatever you like within this house, but you should give up on getting outside, you know? You ain’t gonna leave the house.”

“Are you a member of the Rodriguez family?” Arianne asked tentatively. “Is Mateo’s family the people behind this?”

Never mind how Geralt had promised Arianne that Mrs. Rodriguez would never trouble her again...

The old woman’s answer sounded as canned as it could get. “Sorry, sweetie, but I’m just an old woman who’s doing the job she’s been asked to do for money. I have no idea about this whole thing so you’re not gonna get anything of worth from asking me. Oh, but I’m handy with housekeeping duties, meals, cleaning, you name ‘em. Anytime you need me, just give a holler.”

Arianne was clearly not going to extract any information from her, so she gave up.
