The next morning, the young doctor leaves for his mother's house. He tells her that he was ambushed on his way to the Manor, and that if he hadn't been there, he'd be dead. He asks her if she trusts him, and she tells him that she has almost lost her daughter, but that the culprit is "getting away with it" . The young doctor tells his mother that he'll help her open a medical practice if she needs it, and says that if women in the world want to live freely, they must "depend on themselves"
