Allen stared at Blanche and said, "I can assure you, no, I've already checked. Trust me!"
Blanche felt utterly helpless; she wished Jason could be taken away by Allen's father so that Jason would be safe.
"Did you really want Jason to go find Felix before?" Although it wasn't the right time to ask this question, Allen couldn't help himself.
Now that he knew Jason didn't mean that, a glimmer of hope ignited within him. If he didn't ask, it would be a real shame.
Seeing the stubble that had appeared on Allen's face due to his anxiety, Blanche felt inexplicably calmer, realizing that he was also worried about the situation.
"I did think about it, but it was only temporary. I wanted to take Jason to a place where no one knows us. I don't want to be separated from him."
With the misunderstanding cleared up and Blanche's answer confirmed, Allen felt a rare sense of relief. It turned out that Blanche had never thought about being with Felix.
