Chapter 75: White-haired girl
Sarah’s displeasure with the scene led her to leave the garden, leaving the children behind.
"Why is Luna angry?" Asked one of the kids, his lips puckered in confusion. The other children tilted their heads, signaling their own bewilderment.
Among them, a little girl gasped, drawing the others’ attention. They surrounded her, eager for information. "What is it?" They asked her.
"What if Alpha likes that white-haired lady?" She revealed, widening her eyes as she sought answers from her peers.
"Stop daydreaming! Alpha has Luna, why would he like another girl?" The boy from earlier playfully tapped the little girl’s head, dismissing her idea as nonsense.
"Ouch," winced the little girl, glaring at him. The rest of the children nodded in agreement, finding her suggestion absurd. They had all seen how Luna and Alpha caught butterflies together, so it was clear that Alpha’s affections belonged to Luna.
"Let’s go back home!" Feeling confused and worried, they all chimed in and started walking out of the garden.
Meanwhile, Enoch and Scarlet sat still on the floor. Enoch patiently waited for Scarlet to calm her emotions. Although she had stopped crying, she couldn’t shake off the guilt of causing Aurora to black out and struggle to breathe earlier.
"Scarlet, let me take you back to your room. You can’t see Aurora in this condition," Enoch suggested when he didn’t hear a response from her.
Scarlet didn’t reply but instead rested her head on his shoulder, exhausted and unable to find the words to speak.
Enoch felt relieved when she leaned on him for support, but he resisted the urge to hug her.
