Upon hearing their conversation, Old Mrs. Horton asked curiously, "Which Allen family?"
Tom instinctively glanced at Lewis, not daring to respond.
Lewis, however, explained, "The Allen family from Clance."
The moment these words escaped his lips, a semblance of shock washed over Old Mrs. Horton's face.
Keira, who was acutely perceptive, sensed that the atmosphere in the room had become slightly tense.
Her doe-like eyes subtly surveyed Lewis before discreetly observing Tom.
Tom discreetly signaled her to avoid speaking recklessly.
At this moment, the nurse came in with breakfast. Keira assisted Old Mrs. Horton towards the table where the food had been arranged.
The three of them usually refrained from talking while they were dining.

Keira glanced at Lewis.
