Sylvia's POV:

I walked over and tapped Flora's shoulder from behind.

Flora was so startled that she nearly jumped. Patting her chest to calm herself down, she asked, "Sylvia, what're you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," I put my arm around her shoulder and said with a smile.

Flora snorted and relayed everything to me.

It turned out that Ashley was temporarily sent here with the other vampires after she was rescued from Geoffrey's clutches.

Flora was in the middle of a mission and happened to pass by. Seeing that Ashley was in trouble, she rescued her.

"Now, she has retreated to the corner and hasn't moved a muscle. She has been in a daze this whole time." Flora pouted and threw her hands up helplessly. "I just told her a joke, but she didn't laugh. It's like she can't hear me!"

"I see."

I sighed and slowly approached Ashley. Squatting down next to her, I gently called her name.
