Lina waved her hand, and Chris rushed over.

"I need to take care of Sephy!" Lina smiled. "Can you look after Lenny for me?"

Chris eagerly agreed. He hadn't come over earlier because Elijah and Lina were present—one was Lina's brother, and the other was her best friend. Approaching them at that moment would have seemed awkward.

Now, he straightened his back, ready to place his hand on Lina's shoulder, only to feel a force grabbing his wrist.

"What are you doing?" Chris was puzzled.
