Eler was envious of how Shanks pampered Nyla.

On the Island of Despair, except for Nyla, only the seriously injured could get Shanks' attention.

Eler snapped out of it as these should not be her desires. All she needed to focus on was taking care of Nyla and protecting her.

She walked over, lowered her head, and dared not look at Shanks as she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shanks. I didn't keep a close eye on Kathryn."

Shanks looked at her. His gaze was cold and without a trace of warmth. "You didn't take good care of her. Do you know how dangerous it is to let her run around in the corridor?"

Those on the Island of Despair were not good people. It was easy for Nyla to bump into and irk these people if she walked around like that.

He could help her this time but not all the time.

If he left the island and Nyla bumped into someone, he doubted that Eler could protect her.

Eler's heart shuddered. Every time Shanks talked to her that much, he would be blaming her for not taking good care of Nyla.

She would not be jealous of a little girl being favored by Shanks, but she would still be upset.

"Sorry, Mr. Shanks." Eler sounded like she was about to cry. She was usually very careful. Although Nyla was well-behaved, she was still a child. A child would not pay as much attention to the things that adults would.

She was suddenly in the mood to play with Shanks and immediately ran out with the ball.

Eler could not stop her.

Nyla listened to Shanks' serious tone and noticed that Eler sounded as though she was about to cry. It was then she realized that she had done something wrong and caused Eler to be scolded.

She put her hands on Shanks' shoulders and said in an innocent tone, "Shanks, it's my fault. I ran around and didn't listen to Eler. Don't blame her. If you want someone to blame, you can blame me..."

Shanks raised his hand and scratched his index finger on her small nose. ‘How can I blame such a cute kid?'
