In the residence, Penny jogged down the stairs.
"The kids are already asleep," she announced, eyes falling on where Slater and her husband Zoren were seated. "Why the long face, hmm?"
The two men glanced up at her, then let out shallow breaths. At the same time, the entrance door opened. The trio turned toward it, catching Atlas and his assistant Allen as they walked in.
"First Brother, how is she?" Slater jumped from his seat and rushed to Atlas. "Is she okay?"
"Aside from a few bruises, she's fine. She'll be staying somewhere else so as not to worry the kids." Atlas glanced at the second floor.
"They're already sleeping," Penny remarked. "They were tired today, so they nodded off as soon as they drank their milk."
Atlas let out a shallow breath. "Penny, look after them for a while. Until all her bruises are healed, I'm not letting them see her."
"Don't mention it."
