Mary immediately frowned and looked at her.

Keira pursed her lips, trying to make her gaze seem

softer.

Mary examined her face back and forth, then suddenly stood up, walked over to her, and touched her

forehead.

Keira was dumbfounded.

“You don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? You refused to tell me who they were back

then, saying it would compromise my safety. Why are you asking me now?”

For the first time, Keira sensed Keera’s caution.

For them, you actually abandoned me… Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It makes me feel so sad!”

She was genuinely aggrieved!

Mary pouted.

Keira wasn’t good at comforting others, so she remained silent. Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Howard’s mother walked in.

Humming a tune from a dance, she didn’t look toward the living room as she entered but headed straight for the kitchen. “Keera, what’s for dinner? I’m hungry after

clutched her chest in anger and pointed at Keira, saying furiously, “Keera, you’re just going to stand there watching your friend insult me?
