NovelEnglishDespite being scolded by her father, Claudia still did not defend herself. She had clearly searched every corner of the school, even breaking out into a sweat. She felt extremely uncomfortable with the sweat sticking to her body. There was no way Thalia was waiting for her at the library since she had searched there as well.

You two are my only daughters, and when I get old, it will be up to you to support each other. How can I trust you anymore when you're so careless?" Claudia remained silent as Henry took off his apron, and together, they rushed outside. They saw Thalia walking in a daze in the hallway.
"Thalia!" They rushed to her side, and Henry hugged Thalia, before looking her up and down. "Are you okay? You scared me. Weren't you supposed to cback with your sister? How did you end up being left behind?" Thalia burst into tears as soon as she said, "Dad, I was so scared. I thought Claudia had leftbehind. We agreed to go htogether, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I looked in the auditorium and even waited by the classroom for a long time. But I couldn't find her..." she sobbed.
Although Claudia was also distressed, she could not help but express her confusion upon hearing Thalia's account. "Were you really in the library? Because I searched the library twice and checked every other building in the school, but I didn't see you anywhere. So how could you say you were there?" Seeing his younger daughter in such a state, Henry could not help but feel angry at Claudia's continued questioning. "Let's go. There's no need to be afraid anymore. Chwith us. We'll settle things there." Feeling the weight of her father's gaze, Claudia bit her lip. Even after returning home, Thalia continued to sob uncontrollably as if genuinely shaken by the experience.
"You call yourself a big sister? You can't even take care of Thalia! Since you brought her to your school, you're responsible for her safety. Your school is so big, and she's not familiar with it. How could she possibly figure out where she went?
