39: Train

Chapter 39

Train

***

Three days passed and Leila discovered that pretending that she almost failed the challenge seemed to do good to her.

No one bothered her.

Besides, only the Blacks knew about what truly happened.

However, this was her first day of training.

Hunter’s grandfather asked Hector, Hunter, and Myrtle to guide her.

Well, it was a great thing to know that she could be assisted by them.

However, thinking about it – it seemed like she couldn’t be at peace if she and Hunter were the only ones around.

And it looked like Myrtle noticed it, too.

“I can go with the two of you…” She suggested kindly.

Leila smiled inwardly – and gave her a grateful look.

But then, the two men immediately shook their heads at her.

“No.” Hector quickly contradicted.

“You are not in condition to do that, Myrtle.” Hunter also said – with concern laced in his voice.

Leila swallowed hard – as she looked at the three. Then, her eyes moved to Hunter. Her forehead creased – as she also remembered something.
