"What's wrong?" Zhao Li Xin asked when he noticed the change in her face.
Lory immediately locked her phone and gave him a reassuring smile. After that, she put her phone back in her pocket. "
I'm fine," she answered briefly.
But the look in her eyes made it clear that now wasn't the time to explain. She turned back to Toby, who was staring at her with wide, curious eyes. Without warning, Lory reached out and pinched his cheek.
"You should know this place is dangerous, right?" she said gently. "So, why did you come here again? What if those bad guys return? You could get hurt," she make have said in a joking tone, but the truth is, she was really worried for the little boy's safety.
She gave his cheek a light tug. "If you get hurt, who will take care of Snowy? What about your parents?"
"Ouch!" Toby rubbed his cheek, which had already turned red. "Don't pinch my cheek! I'm a man, you know!"
