Inaayos ni Shea ang kanyang mesa sa tulong ni Mrs. Cooper.
Ang Adam’s apple ni Elliot ay gumulong sa kanyanglamunan habang nanaig sa kanya ang guilt.
Sa tuwing sasabihin sa kanya ni Shea na nahihilo siya nitong mga nakaraang araw, sinasabihan siya
nito na magpahinga pa.
Hindi niya akin na mga pampatulog ang dahn ng kanyang difort.
Kung hindi siya din ni Avery sa ospital para sa checkup, sino ang nakakam kung gaano katagal
niya ipagpatuloy ang pag-inom ng mga tabletas.
Nadama ni Elliot ang pasasmat kay Avery, ngunit hindi niya m kung paano ipahayag ang
kanyang pasasmat.
Kinabukasan, unang dumating si Mrs. Cooper sa bahay ni Avery sa umaga.
Nagt si Avery, at mabilis na inimbitahan si Mrs. Cooper sa kanyang tahanan.
“Paumanhin sa pagpapakita ko nang wng pasabi, Avery,” sabi ni Mrs. Cooper habang inaabot niya
ang dwang pagkain
sa iyo.”
“Smat! Bakit ang aga mong dumating?” Sabi ni Avery habang nagsasalin ng isang basong tubig
para sa kanyang bisita.
“To be honest, Master Elliot was the one who asked me toe by and thank you,” Mrs. Cooper said
warily. “It was a good thing you took Shea to the hospital yesterday. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what
could have happened.”
The smile on Avery’s face vanished.
“You have no idea how scary things were, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as fear lingered inside of her. “Zoe
said she had instructed Mrs. Scarlet to only give Shea the pills for three days, but Mrs. Scarlet said Zoe
never mentioned any of that to her. Mrs. Scarlet was in tears when she confided in mest night… I’d
much rather trust her. After all, she’s been taking care of Shea for over twenty years. She would never
hurt her.”
Avery picked up on a key point and asked, “Mrs. Scarlet’s taken care of Shea for twenty years? Does
that mean Shea’s been with the Fosters for twenty years?”
“I think so! All Mrs. Scarlet ever told me was that Shea was a poor little thing. She never revealed
anything else to me.”
Avery recalled how Elliot had kept his lips tightly sealed whenever she used to ask him about Shea.
“I didn’t expect Zoe to be such a scheming woman.” Mrs. Cooper suddenly let out a sigh, then said,
“Master Elliot’s about to be engaged to her. I’m afraid she’s not a good person.”
“He’s not worried, so you shouldn’t be either,” Averyforted her.
“I’m sorry, Avery. I shouldn’t talk to you about these things. I’m sure you’ll find a much better man in the
future,” Mrs. Cooper said. Then, she rose from her seat and said, “Give me a call if you finish the
pickles and want more. I’ll send more over.”
“Okay. Thank you,” Avery said, then sent Mrs. Cooper on her way.
She wanted to pretend as if she was too busy to care about the news of Elliot’s engagement.
However, she spent the entire time tossing and turning in bed the night before.
In the end, she went on social media and searched for some key words.
She identally came across Zoe’s social media page.
Zoe had uploaded several new posts in the past few days. She showed off photos of high-end wedding
gowns, expensive diamond rings, and… photos of her pregnant belly.
Every single photo was apanied by captions of pure bliss.
Apart from Zoe’s social media page, Avery also came across a bunch of rted images.
For example, there were photos of ?oe and Elliot that people took when they bumped into them while
shopping.
S
Avery opened up the photos and saw Zoe clinging onto Elliot’s arm. They looked as close as a couple
on a shopping spree.
n din sa kanng mga kaibigan ang nag-post ng mgarawan ng mga imbitasyon na kanng
natanggap para sa kanng engagement
party.
Nag-click si Avery sa imbitasyon.
Magkatabi ang mga pangn nina Elliot at Zoe, at personal nng ngdaan ang mga imbitasyon.
Isang kakaibang pakiramdam ng pagkabigo ang bumalot kay Avery! Ito ay dahil hindi siya nakatanggap
ng imbitasyon sa kanng engagement party.
