Chapter 207: Chapter 205: Misunderstandings Are Born in Silence

AM.

South City.

The plaza at the airport was desolate, almost devoid of any pedestrians, yet tonight’s full moon shone exceptionally bright, lighting up the square even without street lights.

"Rest well once we’re in the car. Do you want some water?"

"No need~" Elliana Lyle felt a bit dizzy, leaning entirely against Joy Lyle’s chest. Hannah Collins was right, noodles truly needed to be chewed slowly; the sensation of spitting them out felt like it took half her life away.

She has always been unable to handle anything at heights, even swinging on a swing would make her vomit, though swinging slowly posed no issue.

"Have a little, it’ll help." Joy Lyle, as always, was gentle, showing utmost care. Even though she was in low spirits now, she still made an effort to care for her only sister.

"Okay."

Elliana’s voice was weak, her stomach felt empty, and her mouth bitter, no amount of rinsing with mineral water helped.

However, just as she finished speaking, a scream pierced through the quiet night sky!

"Ah―――!"

They all looked towards the sound and found that Tiana Harris had fallen down the moving staircase to their far left!

Tiana’s still-rolling body reflected in Elliana’s widened pupils, and the sight instantly sobered her a bit; her heart sank, and she hurried to the bottom of the stairs.

"Tiana! Tiana, are you okay?" Elliana was about to help but feared she might hurt Tiana further by moving her.

So she withdrew her hand, looking at Tiana with a worried face, waiting for Tiana to say how she was.

However, the others were also sensible enough not to help immediately, knowing the danger of falling down such a high staircase could be no small matter.

"I’m okay." Seeing everyone surrounding her, Tiana struggled slightly to sit up halfway.

She felt a bit disappointed, as she had fallen, yet no one offered to help her up.
