Lina took a sharp breath, her legs going numb from squatting. She managed to support herself and stood up, but her vision went black as her blood pressure dropped, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
"Lina..."
Renee quickly got up to support her but felt dizzy after crouching for a long time.
Then, a hand reached out and supported both of them.
Lina and Renee looked up and called out with shaky voices, "Madame Krys."
Krystal crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression showing a mix of anger and amusement. She was still wearing the dark-colored fitted dress, with the collar slightly unbuttoned, revealing her fair neck and beautiful collarbone.
She glanced at them and snorted. "Come with me."
The two girls followed her, matching her steps.
Lina's legs felt weak, but her mind was racing. Though it was a short walk, she thought of the worst-case scenario and how to handle it if it happened.
But as she was lost in her thoughts, Krystal suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Lina looked around and realized they were on the other side of the cabin.
Krystal had mentioned that she and Justin each rented half of it...
A shudder ran through Lina as her face turned pale. Did Krystal intend to hand them over to Justin?
"Madame Krys!" Lina anxiously started to explain, "Actually, we wanted to go in and clean the room. We—"
"You're telling a terrible lie, young lady. It's better not to do that again." Krystal smiled with raised eyebrows and gestured for them to look into the room.
"Madame Krys!" Lina paused, biting her lip, but she decided to ask, "Why are you helping us?"
Krystal's expression shifted slightly, but she remained silent and continued walking forward—until they reached their half of the cabin.
The girls' room was next to Krystal's. Just as they were about to open the door, Krystal spoke softly. "Your father is a good man."
Lina's heart skipped a beat. She looked up, meeting Krystal's smiling eyes.
"Ms. Thompson, please send him my regards when you see him."
Furrowing her brows, Lina stared at Krystal, her big eyes filled with confusion.
Krystal chuckled lightly. There were too many questions in the world, and she couldn't answer them all.
