Confusion and pain were apparent in her voice. 

Her lips trembled lightly as Selene nodded her head.

"Yes, we do know her. In fact, we helped each other a lot, Mrs. Jar…" At that moment Kyle pinched Selene, making her stop abruptly. 

She shrieked in astonishment and corrected herself.

"I mean...teacher.."

Mell felt that the events were just too much of a coincidence. 

But, instead of commenting further, she simply replied,

"Alright…you guys can leave...just don't forget to purchase everything on the list…"

Instead of asking more about Gaby and how they knew her, Mell simply turned around. Kyle could hear a loud sigh before she left the room.

Selene and Kyle merely looked at each other before Kyle shrugged his shoulders. 

Having nothing else to do, they left the small wooden house.

She was still confused about Mell's behavior, but the naive young Lohar was slowly beginning to understand things.
