"I will not take any risks at all, I will ask Carl and Sascha to accompany us to campus," Aleksis finally said.
"What about Takeshi and Mischa?" Lauriel asked, "Are they hurt? Have they received treatment?"
"They can take care of themselves, Uncle Rory. I don't want them to come here and find out our secret if you treat their wounds," Aleksis replied.
Luckily she could quickly think of an excuse. She certainly could not bring Takeshi and Mischa to the penthouse, as they did not know that she was the daughter of building owner. She was also afraid they would slip and accidentally talk about Alaric in front of Lauriel.
Gosh ... it seemed like the more things Aleksis was hiding from Lauriel, the harder it was for her to keep up with everything. She did not want to lie to Lauriel, but she could not let Lauriel know Alaric's secrets.
