Chapter 238: Another Presence (1)
When the evening sky began to darken, Cas and Orson waited outside with Monica, all dressed to leave the house for the choosing event, and it didn’t take too long before Madeline joined them, equally dressed in a purple gown, and as always, she looked no different from her people, even prettier.
"Shall we leave?"
"What about Inna?" With his brows narrowing downward, Cassian asked about his sister, but Madeline cleared her throat and fixed her frantic gaze on Monica.
"Inna might come later as she’s still getting ready, I was hoping you could come back in the next ten minutes to pick her up if it isn’t too much trouble." Madeline requested from Monica, and a long pause was what Madeline received.
"We can wait for her." Cassian suggested, not willing to leave his sister all by herself, but Madeline shook her head at the idea.
"The choosing event is starting soon and Osvaldo must be expecting us already, Monica will come back to get Inna when she’s done, and you know Inna, she takes her time when it comes to this type of thing. But we can’t waste time any longer." Madeline persuaded Cassian in a good tone, and Orson joined in.
"I agree with Maddie on this one. Let the girl grow up," Orson tsked, "she can take care of herself. Come on."
"We really can’t waste anymore time delaying, I’ll be back to pick her up like Madeline suggested." Monica assured Cassian who acted a bit hesitant, but after some deep thinking, he agreed.
"Have you told her we’re leaving already?"
"She suggested it, she’ll probably know once we stop talking." Madeline joked, but it was also true because Inna was waiting in the living room, hoping to no longer hear their voices before stepping out.
When Monica opened the portal with her sister’s Medallion, Orson jerked behind Cassian, his eyes widened in awe at the sight of a swirling loophole. The light reflection danced in his eyes, and his jaw almost dropped.
