I heard from your mother that the hit-and-run driver was a doctor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s all over. I don&#8217;t want to pursue it any further. You should rest early. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so we&#8217;re leaving at seven o&#8217;clock to visit my father&#8217;s tomb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Frances finishes, he walks out.<\/p>\n<p>Frances&#8217; somewhat unreasonable reaction puzzles me.<\/p>\n<p>Based on his personality, how can he give up pursuing this matter? Shouldn&#8217;t he take revenge on the doctor harshly?<\/p>\n<p>After confirming that Frances has already returned to his room and closed the door, I carefully go downstairs and knock on Sabina&#8217;s room door.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, Sabina opens the door. She still wears the same clothes as she does during the day. It seems that she hasn&#8217;t taken a bath yet and isn&#8217;t ready to go to bed.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is almost eleven o&#8217;clock.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mom, you haven&#8217;t slept yet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t sleep. I miss Fernando.&#8221; She answers softly, her tone carrying a strong sense of sadness.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder that she misses him. Tomorrow will be Fernando&#8217;s death anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>I nod and whisper to her, &#8220;Just now, Frances asked me to go to the tomb with him tomorrow morning. When I get there, I&#8217;ll tell you the location.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sabina&#8217;s eyes light up.<\/p>\n<p>She grabs my hand and says excitedly, &#8220;Thank you so much, Jane. If it weren&#8217;t for you, I wouldn&#8217;t know it forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I put a refrigerator in your room. Everything you need is inside.&#8221; Frances easily sees through my lie.<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, I can be so brave and I patch up the lie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to have plain water. Is there anything wrong?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After that, I hurriedly go back to my room and close the door.<\/p>\n<p>If Frances finds out that I tell Sabina about this, he will not let go of me so easily.<\/p>\n<p>I wake up the next morning at six o&#8217;clock. Of course, I won&#8217;t pay my respect to Fernando at his tomb with Earl, who is only a few months old.<\/p>\n<p>Sabina leaves home early for convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Frances has to call Betty and asks her to take care of Earl at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-343","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
