Just then, Fair suddenly popped her head out from behind.
"Yes, the villains inside did not contact their leader again after that. They were in total chaos, I heard them arguing the whole time. I don't know specifically what they were talking about. Later I heard someone mention Christian's name. Then they released everyone."
She recounted the whole process she had heard.
Joyce turned her head back and gently stroked the top of Fair's head, "Fair is so brave. Ordinary children absolutely could not do this."
Anderson snorted, "Ordinary people who would be as stupid as her, going back and seeking death."
Fair: "..."
Joyce smiled and said, "Alright, don't argue anymore. Fortunately today there was a close shave but no actual harm. "
Anderson angrily looked out the window, deliberately ignoring her.
Fair pouted, looking wronged.
A moment later, Luther drove back home.
After a tiring night, everyone was tired and hungry. Aaron had already arranged for people to prepare a table full of food, waiting for them to come back.
When they got home, Anderson changed into comfortable home clothes, washed his face and hands.
Since Fair did not have spare clothes or a place to buy any late at night, Anderson lent her a set of pajamas to change into.
The two children sat at the dinner table. They were both extremely hungry.
Joyce served them lots of dishes, "Hurry up and eat, you two must be starving. After eating, take a nice bath, then you can still get some sleep."
She looked at Fair gently, "Fair, I have prepared a guest room for you. It's next to Anderson's room. Do you need me to help you take a bath?"
Fair looked up from the delicious food, "Auntie, can you help me wash my hair?"
After all, she was too young to wash her own hair well. Justin had hired a special nanny to take care of her before. Now she felt her hair was dirty and itchy from crawling through the ventilation ducts and getting smeared with grease. She was afraid she couldn't wash it clean herself.
"Of course I can. I'll help you wash it well later." Joyce's smile grew wider. She really liked Fair, because this child was extremely sensible. Her mental age was even higher than Anderson's, at least ten years old.
Moreover, tonight Fair had abandoned herself to let Anderson escape safely. This made Joyce feel even more affection for Fair. This child had used her life to protect Anderson. It was an instinctive act, such childhood bonds were priceless.
Most importantly, Joyce glanced at Anderson. Anderson had been very angry all night, deliberately ignoring Fair. She understood Anderson's thoughts too well. This was a silent care, which was why he protested like this.
There was a special bond between these two children since young. She really hoped it could last long, it would be so nice if it could continue as they grew up. And now it seemed not difficult to achieve.
No wonder Anderson rejected Kiki outright, and didn't like any of the girls in his class.
It turned out it was because Fair existed.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Luther also served the children a slice of snowflake beef each. He looked at Joyce puzzled.
"What are you laughing at? What's so happy?"
Joyce shook her head, "Nothing." Luther was indeed more obtuse than her in this aspect. No wonder they had taken so many detours when they first got together.
After dinner.
Anderson went to take a bath alone, while Joyce took Fair to the open-air hot spring on the top floor to bathe.
It was Fair's first time seeing a private hot spring. She was extremely excited.
Joyce carefully washed Fair's hair. It was indeed difficult to wash, with many knotted strands that took some effort to comb through. Fair had very good hair quality, and delicate skin that broke at the slightest touch. It was obvious she would grow up to be a top-tier beauty.
