Old house that mirrors the past

-----

Not only was surprise evident on Venedict's face, but also on Victor's upon hearing her decision.

"Y-you're going to g-grandma too?" Victor stammered.

She paused upon hearing Victor.

Although she made that decision because she also wanted to see Victor's grandma's condition, she didn't know why she rushed to make it.

It was only then that she realized she hadn't even thought about how her family would react when they found out she hadn't informed them again of her whereabouts, and worse, they would surely freak out if they discovered that she and Venedict had gone with Victor.

She almost wanted to pull her hair out in frustration at her decision, but nevertheless, she forced herself not to show any signs of panic.

Instead, she faced Victor with confidence.

"Yes. Can't we come along?"

She almost winced at the words that came out of her mouth because it sounded like she really wanted to join them.
