Familial Ties (2)

Meanwhile, at the Zhao family estate, Hunter could finally sigh relief, knowing that the problem had already been dealt with. He was grateful for Uncle Shark's and Lennox's assistance this time. The other night, Uncle Shark and Lennox's guards came to confront the men following his sister for the past week. 

Now that the threat was eliminated, Adrienne didn't need to coop up inside the estate, choosing to remain by Rosemary's side instead of hanging out with her friends. Hunter decided to check on his sister, hoping to get her out of the house for a while. He heard muffled sobs coming from inside as he walked towards her room. His heart dropped at the sound of Adrienne crying.

He knocked on the door gently, but there was no answer. He pushed the door open slowly to find Adrienne sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow to her chest. Her eyes were red and puffy, and tears streamed down her face.
