Jade hesitated for a moment before shaking her head reluctantly. Emma's expression showed she'd expected this answer.
I asked with concern, "If David lives with you, what about Leah Pierce? She's still in elementary school, right?"
"Yes, Leah will live with us," Jade replied. "We want to rent a two-bedroom apartment first, then save enough for a down payment to buy a house and settle down in Riverdale."
I reminded her seriously, "Be sure to test the air quality levels when you rent a place. Don't rent another unsafe apartment."
Looking at Emma, I added, "You too, pay attention. Noah Pierce's sister got sick because she lived in an unsafe apartment before. Luckily Noah wasn't affected."
Emma nodded solemnly. "Okay, I'll pay attention."
Emma still looked incredulous about Jade's news.
