章 119: The Stray Dog

#Near Eleanor’s Mansion, Thenis

As both Valoura and Eleanor were walking toward the mansion, they remained silent. Valoura was thinking a lot about the incident. And Eleanor was thinking about what happened to her. It all felt so surreal.

“Did it really happen?” Eleanor thought out loud.

“Sorry, ma’am? Did you say something?” Valoura immediately asked.

“Ah! Sorry, I want to visit my daughter now. What do you think a seven year old girl would like as a gift?” She looked at Valoura.

“Ma’am, I’ve never raised a daughter.” She meant Eleanor should know better, “But if I were you, I would keep it simple. You can take some cakes and chocolates.”

“You’re right. Kids like sweet things. Juli loved them, too.” Eleanor again went deep into her thoughts. This wasn’t like Eleanor. Valoura thought. She felt something ominous was about to happen.

“Ma’am, do you want me to buy those for her kid?” Valoura asked Eleanor.

“Hmm… Sorry?” Eleanor was clearly absent minded.
