Facade of Love

Chapter 154 He Sends Ensio to Check Up on Moore

Emily’s brow creased, and she bit her l*p, choosing to keep her thoughts to herself.

I did not press the issue either. I did not need all the details to get the picture.

What threw me for a loop was Moore. When did she and Madam Young have a big blowout? Moore had been riding the coattails of saving Idris’s life, and even if Madam Young was not her biggest fan, she would not just lash out for no good reason. The last time I stumbled upon them, Madam Young could not hide her disdain. There was definitely more to this story than I knew.

Half an hour later, the doctors finally started filing out of the ward. Emily and I rushed in to see how Madam Young was doing. Idris was there, looking ghostly pale and sweating bullets, obviously on

edge.

Madam Young was hooked up to a bunch of machines, but her breathing was even, and she seemed stable–just like the doctor had said.

Emily glanced between me and Idris, biting back words she could not quite let out.

“Mr. Young,” came a voice from the doorway. Ensio was there, knocking softly as he spoke up.

Idris caught someone’s eye and nodded slightly before turning to Emily and me. His gaze lingered on Emily and nodded at her. Then he looked at me, his expression unreadable, and said, “Stay here with grandma for a bit, will you?”

I just nodded, keeping my thoughts to myself, and watched him walk out with a cool detachment.
