Laura's POV:

It would be great if Crystal and Beryl could stay longer in the imperial capital. I picked up the tea cup and took a sip before inquiring about my other grandchild.

"Beryl and Arron got separated when they were chased by the robbers. Later, Harry and Joanna saved Arron and he is currently in my room."

When we were at Rufus' place, I didn't dare ask about Arron. Now that I knew what had happened, I couldn't sit still anymore. "Is Arron okay?"
