Chapter 82

The sky was gloomy with hints of faint light.

When Eileen stepped out of her tent, she saw Egbert coming out of the tent next to hers. Burton was standing by the fire, pointing in a direction, saying, “The noise came from over there.”

Eileen squinted towards that direction. Then she walked over to Burton and asked, “How many times did it sound?”

As Burton turned to look at her, ready to answer, he suddenly choked on his words. He stared at Eileen’s face in shock, looking like he’d been struck by lightning.

The folks in the comments section looked like they’d been struck by lightning as well.

Eileen looked at Burton, puzzled, “What’s with that face? You have seen a ghost?”

Burton took several steps back, pointing at her face, asking in terror, “Are…are you crying?”

By this point, Egbert had joined them. He looked at Eileen’s bloodshot eyes and froze.

Eileen casually wiped her face and said, “I slept in a weird position and squished my eye. I’m not crying. Are you brainless?”

Burton, being criticized, quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I must have seen it wrong.”

Egbert stayed silent, frowning. He looked at her stubborn little face, knowing full well she had been crying.

But why?

-[She does look like she’s been crying, but here’s a small question, why was she crying? Did my injuring two people today upset her?]
