Just as she was lying there alone, lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of the door being opened.
"Miss Smith, are you asleep?" It was Nanny Garcia's voice.
"Oh, not yet." Sophie sat up, feeling a bit listless.
"You see, do you want to go down and have something to eat, …"
"Ah?" Sophie was a bit stunned, although she had mentioned being hungry, she didn't want to trouble Nanny Garcia. She didn't expect that Nanny Garcia would prepare a late-night snack for her, which moved her somewhat.
"Nanny Garcia, it's really troublesome for you." She stood up, dragging her sprained leg, preparing to go downstairs, after all, she was really about to faint from hunger.
She clutched the railing and stepped down one stair at a time. Halfway down, a figure appeared before her.
Asher Land stood at the bottom step, looking up at her.
So late, why has he come back?
Sophie stood there, stuck in a dilemma.
