This is about Apollo. I have to take this seriously. I cannot let anyone overhear anything. Someone was listening in on them, and she couldn’t guarantee whether they would be followed or not even if they were to leave, so she picked the spot where the camera couldn’t see them. Since she was worried they could still be heard, she stood on tiptoe and leaned closer to whisper, “Can I have a few strands of your hair?”

She mused over it for a long time before coming to this decision. She couldn’t possibly pluck his hair herself, since it would be inappropriate. If Keith was Apollo’s father, she could see the boy wanting him, so there was no need to hide anything. If he wasn’t the father, then he should forget about this soon enough.

Keith paused for a moment. He didn’t think she would make this request, but he only hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Sure.” He didn’t even ask her why she needed his hair. He then plucked a few strands off his head and handed them to her.

She raised her head and was met with a familiarly beautiful face, though the man did not look happy at all. Alice was surprised. Ethan? Why is he here? When did he get here? Just now? Or has he been here for a while? He couldn’t have heard anything, could he? He seems a bit miffed.

Chris hurried over as well. He saw Alice and Keith standing close together from outside the door. They were also smiling, apparently happy with their conversation. When he looked over at Ethan, he was met with Ethan’s dark, brooding look,
