As they spoke, faint footsteps came from upstairs.
Clara Bennett quickly pushed William Foster's wheelchair forward, looked up, and saw her elder brother, James Bennett, coming down.
After their eyes met briefly, Clara felt uncertain and hurriedly avoided his gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.
James studied Clara and then glanced at William sitting in the wheelchair, his expression a mix of gravity.
After pondering for a while, he said, "Clara, let's have a good talk."
Clara nodded, and the two of them left the room together.
About twenty minutes later, James finally returned to the room and sat in front of William Foster.
During this time, William knew nothing about what they had talked about, but vaguely felt that the situation seemed to become more complicated.
Understanding his current state prevented him from seeing anything, James deliberately cleared his throat to make himself known.
