Fortunately, the photo was still there, and Ronian had not discovered that Sherlyn stole the photo in the study.
Sherlyn explained, "I'm just curious. After all, mom is up there. I haven't seen her yet, so I want to go up and take a look."
Ronian sighed, "Forget it. I won't punish you this time. Don't do it again. Our family has rules. Since you are back, you must abide by them. Understand?"
"I got it."
Ronian got up and adjusted the collar of his military uniform. "You were scared last night. Sleep a little longer. I'll get them to send you food later."
"Wait."
Sherlyn pulled Ronian's sleeve and looked up at him. "Last night before I fainted, someone seemed to have hit my head with something and wanted to strangle me to death. He said that I should not live in this world. Was it ... mom?"
Ronian sat down and patted Sherlyn's shoulder.
