Little Zoe Was Worried Sick

Yuan and his wives arrived at the Inn's common area within a few minutes. Miss Zara was sitting at the reception table, as usual, looking troubled and deep in contemplation. 

When Yuan and his wives arrived, she didn't appear to notice them. Unlike Miss Zara, Little Zoe noticed their presence and smiled excitedly. 

"Hi, Zoe. How are you today? Oh! Watering the plants?" Lily approached the little girl with a grin and drew her into a tight hug.

"Big Sister Lily!" The small girl exclaimed enthusiastically, wrapping her arms around her neck. "Finally, you guys came out of your room; you know how concerned Mom and I were when you locked yourself inside?" 

"You have to apologize to Mom for making us anxious, or I will stop talking to you. Hmph!" Little Zoe snorted and looked away, and Lily couldn't help but feel awful about worrying the little child and Miss Zara.
