Lorenzo was somewhat surprised, his hands found nowhere to rest, and finally placed on his knees, like a child being reprimanded.
"Actually... are you worried about Hig?" Lorenzo asked tentatively.
This wasn't a coincidental conversation. Mrs. Van Rudd had likely considered retirement for a long time, but only made the decision due to the arrival of the rainy season.
A truly annoying rainy season, the irritating rain washes the world, trapping everyone at home.
Briefly reflecting on past times, Lorenzo was amazed to find that apart from her bad temper, the old lady was quite nice, like a foul-tempered nanny, sometimes giving you pleasant surprises due to her legendary life experiences.
Mrs. Van Rudd nodded full of worries.
"Hig is not like you. You, no matter what, can survive, and you won't go astray."
Lorenzo beamed, never expecting to be seen as so upright and aboveboard in Mrs. Van Rudd's eyes.
