Chapter 373

• The next morning, Uncle Noel busied himself in the dining room, setting the table and serving breakfast for Pedro. As he placed the dishes in front of him, his mind wandered, contemplating how to bring up the topic that had been bothering him. He was almost certain that Pedro hadn't uncovered anything significant in his recent search, but he wanted to hear it from Pedro himself.
• Just as he was lost in thought, footsteps echoed from the staircase. He turned his head and saw Aida walking down with Layla, both looking refreshed. Aida happily plopped down on the seat next to Pedro, her face full of energy.
• Ever since the doctors had confirmed that Aida had a cognitive impairment, Uncle Noel had stopped overthinking her presence in the mansion. She wasn’t a threat, just a simple girl who would be staying with them for a few days—nothing more, nothing less.
