Rachel nodded subconsciously. "You're right! I should rest now to act all lively in front of Elisa like nothing had happened!"
Sheena sighed in relief as she nodded. "That's right! Go rest now. I'll keep you company."
"No, you don't need to. I just had a little graze. It's better if you keep Carle company. Don't let him question why none of us are with him. Besides…"
She paused. "Elisa won't be able to leave her bed in the meantime. How are we supposed to keep this from Carle?"
Sheena's eyelid fluttered.
Rachel seemed to have an idea as she uttered, "I have an idea!"
Sheena's eyes lit up. "What is it?"
"Let's say that the company sent me on a business trip. I dragged Elisa along because the problem is challenging, and I can't solve it without her."
"That's…" She was unsure but nodded after some thought. "That seems like the only plausible reason, but then Elisa didn't meet him before she 'left'."
"Say that we were rushing off and I didn't let Elisa meet him. You can make something up."
"Alright then…" Sheena sighed helplessly and added, "I'll tell him that you're busy and he can't call you. You were on a plane last night and are now resting."
"Yes, that's good! I'll post something about attending meetings or court sessions on Twitter later!"
Sheena didn't reply until Rachel laid down to rest. "I'll visit Carle now. Rest well."
"Alright, go on. Don't miss me."
…
Elisa's room.
Jeremy gave Elisa another checkup and confirmed that everything was fine. He turned away from her.
"Did you think things through before asking me to come here?" His eyes landed on Gareth.
