Chapter 22

Eryna heard the footsteps come closer and finally, she saw a woman walk out of the door. She was a tired-looking lady but the wrinkles on her face gave her a motherly look,

she wore a brown dress that reached down her knees with a pair of comfy slippers. She looked at her husband and then glanced at Eryna who was not sure how to respond.

“Who is this?” Her face formed into a smile as she calmly approached Eryna,

“She had to go to the city but there were no cars going there so I brought her home…You know it’s not safe for young ladies to stay in a deserted place like that.” The man replied.

“Were you alone dear?” She looked at Eryna in a worried manner after hearing her husband’s claim.

“That...I missed my car so I had to walk the road…” Eryna gave an awkward laugh.

“Oh, dear! You have hurt your feet! It must hurt…” The lady completely ignored her words as she glanced at her feet.
