Pandora suddenly called out to her, "Hannah, could you come up to my room?"
"Sure," Hannah immediately got up and followed Pandora up to the third floor to Pandora's room. "Mum, what's up?"
Pandora stared at her. "Take off your scarf. Let me see that rash on your neck."
Hannah felt guilty and instinctively protected her scarf. "Mum, do you like this scarf? If you do, I can get you a new one tomorrow, exactly the same."
Pandora, "Who said I want your scarf?"
Hannah, "Then what are you up to?"d2
Pandora, "Has Steven been looking for you?"
Hannah was stunned by her mother's insight for a few seconds before she hurriedly denied, "No, no, how could that be? You know he's been gone for months, how could he come to see me?"
Pandora, "You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool me. I gave birth to you, I know what's on your mind."
Hannah had no words to say.
Pandora, "Take off the scarf."
In front of the assertive Pandora, Hannah had no choice but to obey. Once the scarf was removed, the love bites on her neck were exposed, clearly suggesting intimacy.
Pandora gasped. "Is this what young people do nowadays?"
Hannah, "Maybe not everyone... maybe just Steven enjoys this..."
Pandora raised her hand and thwacked Hannah’s forehead. "You've already had a big fall because of that man, and yet you're still messing around with him. Aren't you afraid of falling again?"
