Nala stuttered and couldn't explain clearly; she simply kept crying. "She's my aunt, and she's a bit fierce," she finally managed to say.

Elijah embraced his daughter, gently patting her back. "You're doing well, Nala. Take your time. How was she tough with you?"

But, no matter how they probed, Nala couldn't express the full story. She was bewildered. Why did Lena, who was usually gentle and kind, suddenly change and look at her angrily? Did Lena dislike her now because she was sick?
