Chapter 83 A Night Of Unspoken Tension

• Late at night, Layson lay awake, staring at the faint glow of streetlights reflecting on the ceiling. Beside him, Ralph was sound asleep, his soft, steady breathing filling the quiet room. Layson turned his head slightly and glanced at the boy—he was sleeping so soundly, completely at ease.
• Just then, a faint noise came from outside.
• The guest room where Layson was staying was right next to Adela’s bedroom, and the sound seemed to be coming from her direction. Frowning slightly, he got up quietly, wanting to check what she was doing.
