Angela said, “We still haven’t found the head of Aurelius Dominion Group. How can I go back? Don’t think I’ve forgiven you or that I want to follow you. I just feel that I’m the one who got you into this mess, so I have a responsibility to help you find who’s in charge.”
Darren said, “You don’t have to follow me. You won’t be much help anyway.”
Angela was so angry she could have died. How could this person be so ungrateful?
She wanted to stomp off home in a rage, but she still found herself following Darren. Darren couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. Was she planning on sticking to him forever?

At Terence’s house.
Hanley was having nightmares all night, but he could feel a steady, comforting hand on his shoulder, which made him feel safe.
When he woke up, he saw Lucas hugging him, with one hand still resting on his chest. He moved slightly, and heard Lucas mumble in his sleep, “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. I’m here, I’m here.”
Hanley then realized that the person comforting him all night had been Lucas.
Just then, Liana noticed Hanley was awake. She said, “Hanley, you’re awake! Daddy already made breakfast. Let’s go eat.”
Hanley said in shock, “You can talk.”
Liana froze. She had only spoken to comfort Hanley and tell him to come eat, knowing he wouldn’t understand her hand signals.
Liana felt incredibly awkward.
Hanley looked at her. “You can talk, so why have you been pretending to be mute?”
