“No. I've been keeping Ms. Felch company all along. Sometime later, there was a series of knocks outside. I was about to open the door when you knocked me to the ground.” Kerrie had a lost expression on her face.

Hearing that, Sean finally dispelled his worry. He didn't only transfer Kerrie back to take care of Francesca but also to keep an eye on her.
