Sylvia's POV:
When I was about to ask her more questions, Felix came back. I had to stop talking with Alva. "Prince Rufus asked for you to go there. He's waiting for you downstairs at the building next to the gate," Felix reported to me.
"Got it." I nodded and gathered the rubbish on the table to take them away.
Suddenly, Alva tugged at the hem of my clothes and raised her head. Her big eyes were... dull.
I felt a little sorry for her. I squatted down and touched her cheek gently. Perhaps I was overthinking just now. Alva was still so young. How could she know that?
"I'll come see you as soon as I have the time," I told her softly.
This made Alva smiled brightly. "Yay! Don't forget me, okay? I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
After waving goodbye to the two siblings, I went to find Rufus. When I arrived at the gate, I found the director of the orphanage was also standing there with Rufus. We chatted with him for a while before parting.
On our way back, I tinkered with my phone.
Seeing this, Rufus gave me a confused look and asked, "Where'd you find your phone?"
"I left it at Alva's place," I murmured. The phone had run out of battery and wouldn't turn on.
"Charge it in the car," Rufus suggested.
The car and its driver were already waiting for us.
I charged my phone as soon as we got in the car and waited anxiously for it to turn on.
