Chapter 15 Confront Her in Person
Something unexpected happened.
As they opened the covers, Elianna was fast asleep.
After being awakened by the noise, she sat up, puzzled. "Mom, Clare, why are you here?"
Elianna was wearing pajamas and looked as if she had just woken up. However, she was still wearing her pants under the covers and hadn't even taken off her shoes.
Clare paused for a moment, then smiled again. "No worries. You felt uncomfortable when you left and I just wanted to check on you."
"Hmph, you sure sleep well." Joyce was about to tease Elianna but suddenly remembered something. "Where's Asher?"
"Mom, you called me?" Asher appeared, looking guilty.
Clare looked at Elianna and Asher, jokingly saying, "Asher, where did you come from? How did you leave Anna alone?"
"Huh? I... I just went to see, I went to see Kenley."
Seeing Asher's incoherent appearance, Joyce couldn't help feeling suspicious.
It was late at night, and he went to Kenley's room...
"Kenley wasn't feeling well, so I asked Asher to go and check on her."
Elianna interjected, breaking the deadlock.
Amid Asher's surprise, he quickly followed Elianna's lead. "Yes, Kenley couldn't find her medicine, so I went to help look for it."
To divert attention, he added, "Elianna was supposed to come with me, but she was too tired, so I let her rest."
Clare pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. "It's just my bad timing. Seeing that Anna is fine puts my mind at ease."
At this moment, Clare's gentle and harmless appearance was just like when Elianna first met her.
