“No, it’s better for them to save any extra. When they leave here, it’ll be good to have some money on hand. You know my family can’t give them money directly, Commander Sinclair.”

Carissa pondered for a moment. “Alright, then.”

Casey would need to support her daughter on her own in the future, so having extra money would be beneficial. Carissa hoped Yuvan’s rebellion would conclude soon so the women could all leave this place.

“Thank you, Commander Sinclair.”

“And where is the child? Will you send someone to bring her, or should we send someone to fetch her?”

Lionel bowed slightly and said, “It would be best if you could fetch her. It’s really not appropriate for me bring her here. She’s currently at an apple farm outside the city and is cared for by a wet nurse. She’s weaned now, and when she comes here, she can eat just like any other child.”

“Very well, I’ll go pick her up,” Carissa replied.

“Thank you!”

Lionel’s eyes glistened with unshed tears. He also wanted to apologize for his earlier inappropriate comments.

“I truly spoke out of turn in the heat of the moment, Commander Sinclair. Please don’t take it to heart. These past few days have been quite chaotic for me. Casey initially tried to get close to me, but I managed to avoid her. My dad, however, was not so fortunate. I assume you’ve uncovered all of this as well.”

The moment he saw Casey, his world felt like it was collapsing. Even as he maintained a facade of respect for his dad while dealing with the situation, the way he viewed Malcolm had fundamentally changed.

Carissa nodded. “We did. But actually, Eleanor initially intended for her to approach your dad. However, upon further reflection, she felt your dad was a man of integrity who had a loving relationship with your mother. That’s why she chose to target you instead. In the end, when that didn’t work, Eleanor decided to let her try her luck with your dad.”

Lionel sighed deeply, feeling increasingly unsettled as he learned more. In the end, he nodded respectfully and stumbled away without another word.
