Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Cautious People

―――Vicars Hotel, Room 703.

Elliana Lyle held the spare room card Hannah Collins had brought back, approaching the door, and heard a click indicating the door was unlocked.

Not wanting to disturb Auntie Nancy’s rest, she cautiously pushed the door open. The room was pitch black, making it impossible to see anything.

"Who! Who is it!" A panicked inquiry came from the dark—it was Auntie Nancy’s voice, tinged with fear.

It seemed she had indeed woken Auntie Nancy up. Elliana ruefully tapped her forehead, feeling regret for coming.

Helplessly, she pushed the door open fully and reached out to touch the switch by the door. As the light flicked on, she saw Auntie Nancy already standing alertly.

When Auntie Nancy saw Elliana, the fear and caution in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by a somewhat awkward smile.

Once inside the room, Elliana noticed the bed was very tidy, as if it had not been slept in. On the carpet, however, there was a makeshift pillow made from clothes.

"Auntie Nancy? You... you didn’t sleep on the bed?" Elliana was somewhat uncertain, but she was mostly sure.

Auntie Nancy smiled awkwardly, "Such a nice bed, I was afraid I’d dirty it."

She glanced again at the carpet, quickly explaining, "I washed my clothes at the tap, and there’s a warm breeze in this room, they’ll dry in no time."

How could Elliana fail to understand the implication in her words? Through Auntie Nancy’s cloudy eyes, Elliana saw the fear.

Elliana was stunned for a long time. Auntie Nancy’s cautiousness and humility made her heartache, not knowing what to say. Perhaps she also didn’t fully understand Auntie Nancy’s actions.

Auntie Nancy nervously clutched at the seams of her pants, not knowing what Elliana’s silence meant. She had never slept in such a bed, nor seen such soft blankets. She just felt it but didn’t dare lie down.

After a long while, Elliana sighed and said, "Auntie Nancy, come, sit." She said this while hopping barefoot to the bed and stubbornly pulled Auntie Nancy to sit down.

"Auntie Nancy, the bed is the place for sleeping, sleeping on the floor will make you catch a cold."
