"Holy hell!" Theodore was gobsmacked upon seeing Ariel sleeping on Adeline's lap, all covered in dust and with several tear marks running down her cheeks.
"What happened? I-I-Is she alright?" Theodore held his forehead and stuttered.
Adeline put her finger over her lips gesturing for her husband to speak softly. She didn't want Ariel waking up and crying her eyes out again.
Theodore looked around for the jar of water. He rushed to Adeline's table and soaked his handkerchief in water and wiped Ariel's face with it.
Ariel cooed in her sleep and Adeline gently rocked her legs and lightly tapped Ariel's chest to comfort her.
Theodore then asked Adeline in a hushed tone, "Tell me what happened?"
Adeline told Theodore everything that she had heard from Joyce and then finally, she asked him, "Can you find out who created the wall? I am afraid if someone is spying on Ariel, on us?"
