Aaron, Emma, and others also went to Lance to thank him.
Forlevia was their treasure, so of course, they were grateful that Lance saved her.
“Mommy…” Forlevia started to cry.
Zoey quickly took over Forlevia from Lance’s arms. “You are safe now, Evie. Mommy’s here!”
She raised her head. Tears were welling in her eyes. “Thank you, Lance. Thank you so much.”
“Thank you for saving Evie, Lance!” Aaron and the others once again expressed their gratitude.
“Thank you, Lance. I don’t know what we would’ve done without you,” Cora thanked.
“He’s indeed powerful for he was able to save Evie so quickly!”
“He’s incredible! It only took two hours for him to rescue her, right?”
“He’s the pride of the Great Family of Westford and Erudia!”
Everyone from the Great Family of Westford was praising him while he stood there like a dummy.
What? Why are they praising me? Why are they thanking me? I didn’t save her! It was Master who did it! I only carried her here! I must correct them.
Master had probably found out that I was the one who has leaked out his identity.
I have the face the music too…
He gritted his teeth and spoke up. “Actually, it wasn’t me-”
“Mommy, where’s Daddy?” Forlevia shouted.
Only then did everyone remember Levi.
“Hmph. Levi is such a joker. And he said he was going to rescue Evie all alone?”
“Evie’s here now, yet he’s nowhere to be found. What a joke.”
“He was the one who said the Great Family of Westford couldn’t be relied on, and he had to take care of things himself. In the end, he’s doesn’t even know Evie had returned to us safely!”
Everyone thought Lance rescued Evie since he carried her here and mocked Levi.
Zoey’s and Emma’s expression darkened.
It was fine if Levi couldn’t save Forlevia, but he just had to show off in front of the Great Family of Westford.
“No! It’s Daddy who saved me! Where’s Daddy! Where is he?” Forlevia shouted.
Lance’s heart tightened at her words.
“Oh, dear. Is the child still in a state of shock? Your daddy didn’t save you, Evie. Lance did!”
“Most likely. When a child is in shock, they would think about their parents first. Maybe she subconsciously thought it was her father who saved her!”
“Zoey, you should let Evie rest first. Then, arrange a doctor’s appointment to see if she’s all right…”
No one believed Forlevia, especially when they could clearly see it was Lance who carried her home.
“Actually-”
Before Lance could speak up, Cora interrupted him. “No need to say anything, Lance. We’re family, after all. If you have something you need to do, then just go ahead!”
“We thank you once again, Lance! What would we do without you?” Aaron and the others bowed to him.
Emma bowed as well. “I thank you on behalf of Levi. I’ll get him to thank you personally when I see him!”
“I… I…” Lance started to stutter.
His legs were turning into jelly as his face turned pale. Getting Master to thank me? No way! He’s going to kill me instead! I need to think of a way to deal with Master’s interrogation now. I should tell them it wasn’t me, but seeing how all of them are acting right now, I don’t know if I can do that!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he got.
