Anderson closed his eyes and pinched his brows together. “Go to Paramount
Hall.”
“Yes, Mr. Barlow,” Shane said.
Paramount Hall? Shane suddenly had an uneasy feeling.
Anderson knew everything about Mayra’s life at school. She looked bubbly and perky at school, but in reality, she was rather withdrawn. She didn’t have
Gordon.
There was a high possibility that Mayra had gone to Paramount Hall.
Mayra was sitting under a tree. There was light spilling from the lamp outside the kitchen and a little table. She bent her head and bit the edge of the cup
spilled half the medicine in the cup.
Gordon shook his head at how clumsy she was. “Drink it properly.”
Mayra immediately sat up straight. “It’s too bitter, Gordon.“.

“It’s okay. I can wash them myself.”
“It’s alright. I used to wash Andy’s clothes too.” Mayra walked into the kitchen and scooped up some hot water. She poured it onto the dirty clothes which. were soaking and sat down on a stool to begin washing the

In the end, Gordon did not say anything. He just walked into the kitchen and then came back out with a basin filled with dishes. He sat down next to her

Outside Paramount Hall, a black car was parked. The door of Paramount Hall was ajar, and the interior was visible. Light spilled out. When the man got out of the car, the temperature in the air seemed to drop.
He stepped inside. Through the wall and the curtain that obscured the door, he could hear the sound of a girl laughing. “Gordon, I’ll wash your clothes fo
