Seeing that Lily Gray wasn't talking, Ellie worried that she might be bored and turned on the television for her.
"Maybe you could watch some television, Young Lady... I'll be free soon, and then we can go for a walk. Pregnant women need to move around more, and getting some fresh air will stop you from feeling..."
Ellie didn't finish her sentence, as her attention was suddenly drawn to the television screen.
Lily heard Ellie stop talking suddenly and thought it was strange, so she looked up at her.
She saw Ellie staring wide-eyed at the television screen, looking astonished.
What on earth could have shocked Ellie so much?
What did she see...?
Lily, suspicious, also looked at the television and saw that it was showing ordinary domestic news.
A few days earlier, Eastonia's new president had taken office.
The television was showing a scene from a reception dinner for the president and the First Lady.
The camera followed the steps of the president and the First Lady.
