Lawrence Winters jumped in surprise and quickly stepped back, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that, Master Ancestor? It's creepy..."
The old Daoist laughed and said, "Lawrence, do you have some time? Come in and have a seat?"
He invited Lawrence Winters into Nick Zeller's room like a host.
Lawrence Winters actually wanted to go see Kenneth Osborne and check on how he was doing.
His gaze awkwardly drifted in the direction where Kenneth Osborne had disappeared, but he felt embarrassed to mention it. He just stood at Nick Zeller's door, unsure whether to enter or leave.
Seeing her dilemma, the old Daoist didn't rush her but rather asked with interest in a soft voice, "...Do you care a lot about Kenneth?"
Lawrence Winters nodded.
"Are you two very good friends?"
"Yes."
"How close are you?"
"...What do you mean by 'how close'?" Lawrence Winters didn't understand the old Daoist's meaning and said with doubt, "Just very, very good friends..."
