He looked toward Ember before quietly asking,
"Alana left with Ivy?"
Ember briefly exchanged glances with the others before smiling naturally.
"Yes. Still, Alana should be returning soon."
Hearing that, Silas slowly nodded.
Afterward, he quietly accepted the food and began eating in silence.
Nobody disturbed him further.
Still… the strange feeling inside Silas's heart refused to disappear completely.
Eventually, everyone slowly left the room one after another to allow him to rest.
Once the door finally closed, silence completely filled the room.
Silas remained sitting there motionless for nearly an hour.
Finally, he slowly reached for his phone.
Without hesitation, he dialed Ivy's number.
The phone rang only twice before the call connected.
Soon, a familiar voice echoed from the other side. "Hello, Silas…"
The voice sounded slightly fatigued. "Have you finally woken up?"
The moment Silas heard it, his eyes narrowed slightly.
