"Would you like to come with me?"
Upon hearing Leon's words, the little girl was naturally startled and looked at him with an incredulous expression.
"Sir, what did you just say? Come with you? I didn't hear wrong, did I?" She asked nervously, unable to believe what Leon had just said.
Leon smiled gently, nodding slightly as he leaned back and replied in a calm tone, "You heard me correctly. I will bring you to live with me and ensure all your needs are taken care of. How does that sound? Would you like that?"
If he had previously hesitated about taking the little girl with him, he was now firm in his decision. Not only did he feel sorry for her, but Miranda's previous statement still made him uncomfortable.
Hence, rather than leaving her behind, he decided it was better to bring her with him. That way, he could both protect and observe her directly.
