Laura's POV:
It would be great if Crystal and Beryl could stay longer in the imperial capital. I picked up the tea cup and took a sip before inquiring about my other grandchild.
"Beryl and Arron got separated when they were chased by the robbers. Later, Harry and Joanna saved Arron and he is currently in my room."
When we were at Rufus' place, I didn't dare ask about Arron. Now that I knew what had happened, I couldn't sit still anymore. "Is Arron okay?"
"He's alright. Thankfully, it was nothing serious. He just got some bruises."
Crystal's face darkened a little with fear.
"Fortunately, your arrival coincided with the military parade. Otherwise Rufus wouldn't have goon on a patrol in the suburbs. Harry and Joanna wouldn't have been in the capital either." I really didn't feel like chatting right now. All I wanted to do was see Arron and check on him.
"Arron is fine. The doctor thoroughly checked him before he was discharged from the hospital. He's in much better shape than Beryl is." Crystal also got up and stood in front of me. It seemed that she didn't want me to go.
"Nothing will stop me from going to see him. It's rare for him to come to the imperial capital. I have to see him anyway."
I felt some worry creeping in. Arron was a sweet and obedient child. How could he bear any harm? I didn't know exactly where he was bruised, and that only made me even more anxious.
"How about another day? Arron is still a little shaken. I'm afraid he might be emotionally unstable right now." Crystal cleared her throat and scratched her nose.
I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. Unless Crystal had something to hide from me, she wouldn't have prevented me from seeing Arron.
Did something terrible happen to Arron?
I looked at her square in the eye and asked, "Is Arron severely injured? You told me he merely got some bruises, but you're lying to me, right? And that's why you don't want me to see him!"
"No, I didn't, but..."
Crystal couldn't explain it clearly, so she gave up and let me go to her room.
