Before the men aside could react despite the shock, Darnell had stridden downstairs and knelt in, frowning with one leg. "Where did you hurt?"

Elaine averted her head in silence and aggrieved tears.

Seeing these, Darnell hugged her upstairs and asked, "Call Archer here."

Elaine was resistant. "No! Call my dad to pick me up. I don't want to stay here."

Ariel leaned on the wall, watching and pondering.

Ariel showed a smile.

"Don't misunderstand. He is my uncle." Elaine sniveled and explained.

Ariel didn't expect her words but raised her eyebrows. "I know you, Elaine."

Darnell knelt again in front of Elaine.

She accented the last word as if to remind herself and draw boundaries with him.
