Mila's eyes were fixed on the elderly woman approaching, completely missing Roland's question.

The elderly woman, exuding a strong presence, had also noticed the commotion on Mila's side.

Breaking free from the crowd, the woman strode purposefully towards Mila.

Mila hurried to meet her, her eyes shining with a mix of excitement and a touch of nervousness, as if near home but hesitant to call out.
