After about ten minutes, Elaine Ruane returned to the dining room.
Seeing that Lucy Ansley had finished her bowl of bird's nest soup, she was satisfied and rubbed her head, "Anna, are you full? Shall I take you to see the room?"
Lucy Ansley, afraid that Elaine Ruane would continue to make her eat more, quickly stood up, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
On the way here, they had a simple meal at a highway service area.
Lucy Ansley wasn't hungry at all, but due to the host's enthusiastic hospitality, she had to brace herself and drink a full bowl of bird's nest soup.
...
Leaving the dining room, Elaine Ruane stood in the hallway, perplexed, looking at the stairs leading to the second floor, then turning her eyes toward the window, as if undecided.
Lucy Ansley noticed her dilemma, not knowing the reason, and didn't ask, quietly standing with her.
After a while, Elaine Ruane seemed to make some decision, nodded to herself, and then led Lucy Ansley to the elevator.
