All these years, Irma had always taken great care of Elena, never once reprimanding her.
While they were not related by blood, they were just like family.
Irma seemingly sensed Elena's anguish. Her initially glacial and forbidding look eased slightly, and she coaxed, "Go out first, Elena. I really have something important to say to Jacob. He even has trouble standing up at present, so he wouldn't be able to lift his weapon even if you were to give it to him. So, just leave it for now."
"Okay." Elena nodded before glancing at Jacob. Jacob also motioned for her to step out.
Despite having no idea what Irma wanted to discuss with him, he surmised that the elderly lady meant no harm to him. After all, he had been unconscious for several days, and she would have acted ages ago if that had been her intention.
