Encouraged by Jardins, Alice finally decided to meet with Charlie.
After all, Charlie was her father.
As a daughter who had run away from home, she felt obliged to discuss her plans with him. At the very least, it would ease his worries about her future.
"Since you've made up your mind, go ahead," said Luo Feng, expressing his support for Alice.
"However, we must prepare for the possibility that your father might forcibly take you back."
With that, Luo Feng began making preparations. Meanwhile, Alice sat nervously, fidgeting with her fingers, unsure of what to do.
"Don't worry," assured Jardins. "Luo Feng is highly capable. With him around, your father won't be able to do anything to you. I'll accompany you to see your father as well. Both Luo Feng and I will protect you."
Jardins' reassurances helped calm Alice's nerves.
"Thank you, sister."
The meeting was set for the evening.
