Nie Qingru still had not sorted out her emotions. "What are they doing here?"
Shadow looked at her before lowering his head to stare at the tip of his leather shoes. He did not say anything.
Nie Qingru pinched the space between her eyebrows and suppressed the haze in her eyes before saying in a deep voice, "Let them come."
The people from the Leonard family quickly arrived, with one young man among a group of old men in their sixties and seventies. It was Luke, who had grown up with Leonard.
Luke greeted Shadow and tactfully walked to the corner to stand next to him as background.
Shadow observed him solemnly. Luke did not show any abnormalities, so Shadow looked away in confusion.
"Empress, we heard about a small accident outside Smith Bank." The old man in the lead was the first to break the silence. "We specially came over to take a look."
"Thank you for your hard work. He's fine and is still being bandaged inside." Nie Qingru nodded, as noble and arrogant as ever.
