Chapter 22: Chapter 21: Elliana

"Miss Lyle, come on, let me help you up."

Elliana Lyle was very light, which made it easy for Lana to help her onto the sofa.

"Miss Lyle, I’ll get some warm water to wipe your body, you sit for a moment." Lana was about to leave when Elliana grabbed her wrist.

"Norman Bennett, don’t leave... don’t leave... sob sob~..." Elliana whimpered, staggered to her feet, feeling like her whole body was being supported by soft clouds, wanting to lean but couldn’t steady herself.

"I’m not leaving, I’m right here, don’t be afraid." Lana held Elliana steadily, gently soothing her agitated emotions.

Elliana said nothing more, only clung to Lana and sobbed.

"Come, let’s sit for a while."

Lana gently helped Elliana to sit down, noticing how Elliana’s gaze was unfocused on the floor, but her emotions had calmed down somewhat.

"Miss Lyle, I’m going to the bathroom to get some warm water to wipe your body, I won’t go far." Lana said, turning back every few steps towards the bathroom, worriedly.

The sound of rushing water soon came from the bathroom.

"Miss Lyle!" When Lana emerged with the water, Elliana was no longer on the sofa, and the door was open!

―――North City, Blue Night Bar.

The environment here was dim, with only faint glimmers of light, not so dark as to be unseen, nor so bright as to see clearly.

Unlike other lively bars, this one was rather quiet, with soothing music, ideal for conversations.

"Bro, why come here? It’s so quiet, wouldn’t it be better to get a booth with me?" The voice sounded somewhat immature, full of youthful energy.

It was Zane Bennett, Norman’s younger brother, looking like his elder brother but with a different personality.

"Bro, say something, is it Grandfather who sent you to find me?" Upon saying this, Zane turned his head in displeasure, "I’m not going back."

Then Zane looked excitedly at Norman, eyes gleaming: "Bro, let me tell you, my friends and I are working on a game that will soon be in beta testing."

"Mm." Norman responded barely, downing his drink in one gulp.

Zane immediately lost his previous excitement, his brother was always so boring, as if nothing ever pleased him.
