The moment Serenity returned home and stepped foot into the living room, she heard Master Samson's authoritative voice boom. "Where did you go last night?"
She was switching to her indoor slippers when she stopped and slowly looked up. Helena Turner was watching television with Master Samson on the sofa in the living room.
But Master Samson's eyes were fixed on her instead of the screen.
She changed into her slippers and replied nonchalantly, "At the hospital."
Helena saw how unhappy her father was with Serenity's cold attitude and handed a slice of apple to him. "Dad, one of Serenity's colleagues was hospitalized last night. She went to the hospital to accompany her."
This was the excuse Serenity had made up when she called back to the Rivers residence this morning. She did not expect Helena Turner to not suspect anything.
