Tiberius listened, but didn't connect all of the dots in what she was saying, at least not right away. His mind was still on this scheme revolving her sister, and so he wondered if there was some backstory he was missing regarding Ligeia and some healers.

Unless she was literally dead, it didn't bear any impact on his life — and even death was only significant insofar as he would be expected to attend the funeral.
