Lily Turner's words gave Alice Turner a shock inside, but outwardly, she tried to remain calm. It didn't matter if her sister noticed something, but she couldn't let their mom see through her.
The elders would definitely make a fuss and pass moral judgment on her. If she was judged, it was her own fault, but she couldn't let him suffer along with her.
"I really just heard what you said earlier."
When Alice Turner spoke to Lily Turner, she secretly poked Lily in the arm, hoping her sister wouldn't ask more.
Sensing that her arm was poked by someone, Lily Turner instinctively glanced down, saw her sister Alice Turner's hand, and upon following it, she looked over at her sister sitting next to her, immediately understanding what she meant.
"Your ears are really sharp."
She knew her sister was being mysterious. No, she had to find a way to get their mom to leave so she could have a heartfelt talk with her sister.
"Of course."
