Here in the Lloyd family estate, Luna's presence seemed to shrink a little. Since she had come uninvited, she felt awkward, even nervous.
"General Phelan, what a rare guest! This must be your first time visiting our home, right?" With a laugh, Sheena appeared.
Luna straightened immediately and greeted her politely. "Ms. Lloyd, hello!"
Sheena waved her hand cheerfully. "Hello to you too! Oh my, carrying so many things… Are you here to visit someone? Let me guess, it wouldn't be the good-for-nothing Andrew, would it?"
Luna's face flushed, but she remained relatively composed. "Oh, yes, I'm here to check on Andrew. He helped our military department tremendously before, and Mr. Turman instructed me to come and express our gratitude."
Sheena pointed in a direction. "Look, it's over there. Walk in and turn left, and you'll find it."
Luna hurried to thank her. "Thank you."
Then, she quickly walked away. Facing Sheena always made her feel uncomfortable.
The reason was obvious. Sheena's presence was too overwhelming.
Following Sheena's directions, she arrived in front of a small, rundown house.
Natasha and Aspen happened to be away, having gone for morning training with the Lloyd family disciples. Only Andrew was there, shirtless, changing his bandages. Previously, he had been severely injured by Ezekiel, and his wound had not completely healed yet.
Luna suddenly felt at a loss. Of all the bad timing, she had arrived just when Andrew was not wearing a shirt. Although she was a soldier and should not be so prudish, Andrew's upper body with its defined muscle lines still made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Moreover, she could not believe that the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince lived in such a shabby house. Luna was completely dumbfounded.
Was the Lloyd family internally mistreating Andrew?
Andrew chuckled. "No need, I can handle it."
Luna bit her lower lip. Without saying more, she stepped forward on her own, took the other end of the bandage, and skillfully helped Andrew tie it.
When her slender fingers accidentally touched Andrew's chest muscles, she could not help but tremble slightly.
Andrew coughed, also noticing the second young lady's unusual behavior. Even so, he said nothing, much less asked any probing questions.
"Alright, thanks!" While thanking her, Andrew put his shirt back on.
Luna walked back to the chair, straightened her dress, and sat down demurely. She wanted to find something to talk about, but discovered that for a moment, she had no idea what to say.
