Looking at her son who had been away for over a month, she said, "You've worked hard."
Previously, when Julian insisted on going to Rhovan, Mrs. Rhodes was quite against it.
She feared he would go, and Scarlett wouldn't pay him any mind, leaving him heartbroken and miserable.
In the end, Julian was determined to go anyway.
He insisted that something had happened to Scarlett.
Mrs. Rhodes had never seen him so stubborn before and had no choice but to let him go.

Now that he has returned, and brought Scarlett back with him, it's clear he's very happy.
Mrs. Rhodes sighed, "Scarlett's brother, really."
Julian said, "What he did was nothing to do with Scarlett. Scarlett doesn't have any feelings for him at all. I hope you don't blame Scarlett for everything, as she was the victim from start to finish."
Julian didn't want Mrs. Rhodes to have any prejudice against Scarlett because of this incident.
