Once they got farther enough, Edith stopped at the corner and crouched down beside Hazel. She gave the girl a look over and a sigh of relief escaped once Edith saw that the little girl was unhurt.
Edith let out a chuckle when she realized that she was being silly. Just then, Hailee Ye did not even have the chance to touch Hazel's hair. She should not be worried that Hazel would get hurt, but Edith could not help but ask, "Are you alright?"
"Auntie Edith, I'm fine."
The two looked at each other and suddenly giggled.
Suddenly, Hazel leaned in to wrap her arms around Edith's neck and held on to her tightly. Edith's expression softened and she patted at Hazel's back softly.
"Auntie Edith, were you scared?"
Edith stiffened upon hearing the little girl's question. "Why would I be scared?"
