Rachel Morgan appeared from her parents' bedroom, looking tense.
Earlier, when Jared demanded to speak with Noah, it had been enough to make her and the others feel uneasy.
More than once, they had wanted to check, but their mother had stopped them, saying, "Jared won't risk harming Noah. Let them talk..."
When Rachel finally saw Noah step inside, she smiled. A wave of relief flashed in her gaze.
Hurrying after him, she called out, "Oh, Noah... I was just about to find you. Grandpa is awake and asking for you..."
Before following Noah, Rachel glanced toward the garden, searching for Jared. She was curious to see if he'd angered Noah again, but she didn't see him behind.
Quickening her steps, Rachel gently pulled Noah's hand to stop him before he entered the treatment room. She needed to make sure her nephew was alright.
"Noah, are you okay?" she asked, worriedly.
Noah frowned in confusion at Rachel before offering a slight nod.
