章節 274: Magic?

Katie decided against speaking about Kyle's situation and continued on to take a sip of tea. The boy eyed them for a while before speaking.

"You know, under normal circumstances, I would be expecting something like poison. In the world I grew up in, trust is not something you can simply stumble upon."

"I agree… Katie, why are you keeping him around again?" Sandra asked, letting all her unbridled hate for the boy fill her voice.

"What… Why would you, of all people, be asking such a question, Sandra? You know just how harmless he is. Just look at him. Bruised and eating healthy without a single harmful thought in his mind. I would know if it was there," Katie responded.

"For some reason, even after the little muscle he's put on, he looks more harmless than he was as a scrawny kid from high school," Sandra replied with a frown. The boy's presence irked her and the fact that Katie tolerated it irked her even more.
