In the next second, Hudson’s gloomy eyes suddenly lit up with clarity.

Anna and Yvonne watched in mild disbelief as the boy who had looked so guarded and distant just a moment ago suddenly seemed…. gentler. As if something had jolted him back to life.

His expression didn’t really change, but his mouth kept chewing like a little machine–it was oddly funny to watch.

Yvonne nodded firmly beside her. She wasn’t as good as Anna at explaining things, but she had a strong grasp of key phrases.

“Yeah! They’ll call your parents too.”
