Mrs. Smith glanced cautiously towards Kevin not far away, as if he was a human trader who abducted her daughter.
"Kevin, what happened?" Robert came to Kevin and asked gently.
Cecelia didn't speak, ready to get scolded after Kevin told her parents about her going to the bar tonight.
"I met Cecelia sitting on the road, and she seemed to have twisted her ankle. I took her to the hospital to have a look. She's fine, so I bring her back," Kevin said dryly.
Cecelia looked up in surprise. He didn't tell her parents, and this explanation could keep her parents from blaming her for coming home late. She couldn't believe Kevin would keep her secret and protect her against her parent's rage.
So, he didn't want her to be scolded or punished.
Thinking of this, the corner of her mouth twisted into a sweet smile.
Mrs. Smith was more worried about hearing this. She lowered to check Cecelia's foot, but Cecelia stopped her in a hurry.
