Chapter 243
Elysia pouted apologetically, "I'm so sorry about today. I didn't mean for him to get hurt, I..."
"Did you find out anything?" Tarquin cut her off mid-sentence.
Elysia understood exactly what he was asking. Sitting across from him on the sofa, she sincerely assessed Elijah, "His condition is not as bad as I feared. From his actions today, it's clear he knows right from wrong and understands empathy."
His defense of her today was obviously a result of her looking after him these past few days. She cared for him, and he protected her, a clear display of understanding and empathy.
"It's like, you scratch my back, and I scratch yours. He's not one for big expressions, but he knows what's in his heart. His aloof nature has to do with some personal challenges and his upbringing. He's a lot like you in that way."
