But his little body was trembling violently.
He made a resolution.
Under no circumstances would he let his parents divorce. He would never let that happen!
He was making his mother a promise only because he didn't want her to be upset.
After a glance at her wristwatch, Eileen said, "Well, there's something I need to attend to. I'll take you to Kirsten's place first.”
Brad asked, "Can't I go with you?"
Eileen shook her head.
Therefore, Brad didn't persist with his
questioning.
Eileen hailed a taxi and the two of them ducked into it.
Sitting in the back seat, Eileen kept having a feeling of constriction in the chest, which made it difficult for her to breathe. She didn’t know whether it was because the driver was driving very fast and braking frequently or because she was too tired.
Clutching her chest, Eileen lowered the car window to let in some fresh air.
However, her suffocating feeling worsened instead of disappearing.
Her face was bloodless, and even her lips were ghastly white.
The driver inadvertently glimpsed Eileen's face as his eyes raked the rear-view mirror. Taken aback, he said concernedly," You don't look well, Miss. Would you like m e to drive you to a hospital?"
She shook her head and replied with a forced smile, "No, thanks. I think I just ate something bad."
The driver tossed her another glance.
She did look terrible. It was unlikely to be because she had eaten something bad.
But as his fare had put it that way, the driver could see no gracious way to say anything else about it.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the residential community.
Brad was the first to open the car door and step out.
Eileen followed Brad closely.
