Here in the Lloyd family estate, Lumaโs presence seemed to shrink a little. Since she had come uninvited, she felt awkward, even nervous.
โGeneral Phelan, what a rare guest! This must be your first time visiting our home, right?โ With a laugh, Sheena appeared.
Luna straightened immediately and greeted her politely. โMs. Lloyd, hello!โ
Sheena waved her hand cheerfully. โHello to you too! Oh my, carrying so many thingsโฆ Are you here to visit someone? Let me guess, it wouldnโt be the good-for-nothing Andrew, would it?โ
Lunaโs face flushed, but she remained relatively composed. โOh, yes, Iโm here to check on Andrew. He helped our military department tremendously before, and Mr. Turman instructed me to come and express our gratitude.โ
Sheena pointed in a direction. โLook, itโs over there. Walk in and turn left, and youโll find it.โ
Luna hurried to thank her. โThank you.โ
Then, she quickly walked away. Facing Sheena always made her feel uncomfortable.
The reason was obvious. Sheenaโs presence was too overwhelming.
Following Sheenaโs directions, she arrived in front of a small, rundown house.
Natasha and Aspen happened to be away, having gone for morning training with the Lloyd family disciples. Only Andrew was there, shirtless, changing his bandages. Previously, he had been severely injured by Ezekiel, and his wound had not completely healed yet.
Luna suddenly felt at a loss. Of all the bad timing, she had arrived just when Andrew was not wearing a shirt. Although she was a soldier and should not be so prudish, Andrewโs upper body with its defined muscle lines still made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Moreover, she could not believe that the Lloyd familyโs Dragon Prince lived in such a shabby house. Luna was completely dumbfounded.
Was the Lloyd family internally mistreating Andrew?
At that moment, Andrew noticed her presence. Turning his head, he looked surprised. โGeneral Phelan, what brings you here?โ
Luna took a deep breath, stepped forward, set down the items, and said, โAndrew, Iโm here on behalf of the military to thank youโฆ And also to check on how your injuries are healing.โ
Andrew waved his hand with a smile. โItโs a small matter. As for thanking me, thatโs not necessary. I told Philip that my intervention wasnโt because of him, so the military doesnโt owe me anything.โ
Luna shook her head. โYou canโt say that. Without you, Martial Tower might not have been able to hold. Whether you acknowledge it or not is one thing, but we must show our gratitude.โ
Andrew did not dwell on it further and pointed to a stool nearby. โHave a seat then. I donโt have any tea or coffee here, so please excuse the poor hospitality.โ
Luna said awkwardly, โThatโs not necessary. Iโm just here to see you. You donโt need to be so polite. How about I help you?โ
If she did not find something to do, she was afraid she would not be able to stay. Having such a polite and formal conversation with Andrew was unbearable for her.
The relationship between them was sometimes good, sometimes not. It was truly torturous.
Andrew chuckled. โNo need, I can handle it.โ
Luna bit her lower lip. Without saying more, she stepped forward on her own, took the other end of the bandage, and skillfully helped Andrew tie it.
When her slender fingers accidentally touched Andrewโs chest muscles, she could not help but tremble slightly.
Andrew coughed, also noticing the second young ladyโs unusual behavior. Even so, he said nothing, much less asked any probing questions.
โAlright, thanks!โ While thanking her, Andrew put his shirt back on.
Luna walked back to the chair, straightened her dress, and sat down demurely. She wanted to find something to talk about, but discovered that for a moment, she had no idea what to say.
