Chapter 1269: Oni's resolve (4)

Out on the driveway, Jesse stood next to the car and observed Oni saying her goodbyes to everyone. She gave Sarah a big hug before heading down the stairs toward him.

Jesse saw Oni walk awkwardly and Sarah rushing to support her.

Only then Jesse noticed that something is off with Oni's feet. She was wearing long loose pants, and when she extended her foot to take the next step, he could see the gauze. Somehow, he remembered Aiden collecting slippers last night and Jesse wondered if that is related. Were those Oni's slippers? What were they doing in the garden? Why are her feet bandaged?

Jesse offered his hand to help Oni get in the car and Oni ignored it.

He wondered, did Oni do that on purpose? Or was she occupied while talking to Sarah and she didn't notice?
