Chapter: 840
Just as Jennie was about to slip out of her grasp, Karen appeared and caught the Little girl just in time.
Sabrina helped give her a lift.
Jennie woke up in a daze, rubbing her eyes, and found Karen holding her. When she saw Sabrina, she reached out her hand and called her “Auntie” in a sleepy voice.
Sabrina took her Little hand and followed Karen upstairs, reassuring Jennie that she was there for her.
Jennie closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep as Karen carefully removed her winter clothes and tucked her into bed with a warm blanket.
But Jennie woke up again. When she saw Sabrina about to leave, she pleaded, "Auntie, please don't go."
Sabrina sat down on the edge of the bed and promised, “I won‘t leave until you fall asleep."
Turning to Karen, Sabrina asked in a hushed tone, "Could you get the three stuffed toys I bought for Jennie from the back seat of my car, please?"
Karen nodded and went to get them.
Jennie felt comforted by Sabrina's presence and closed her eyes.
Soon, she drifted off to sleep with even breaths.
After a few minutes, when Sabrina was confident that Jennie was sleeping soundly, she stood up, closed the door gently, and turned to leave.
When she reached the stairs, she stopped.
She saw Tyrone getting ready to go up.
The two shared an awkward glance.
Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Sabrina addressed Tyrone, saying, "Jennie has fallen asleep and hasn't had dinner yet. Just make sure she doesn't sleep for too long.”
“Okay.” Tyrone nodded but remained in the same spot.
He didn't move to let her pass. So she squeezed past the small gap between him and the banister.
Tyrone suddenly held her by the wrist, causing Sabrina to stop.
“What are you doing?" she asked, looking at him indifferently.
