"Of course I'm on Timothy's side." Shelly was all puffed up.
If Timothy married Monalize, Shelly's life would be free from worries. She wouldn't need to read Sharon's mood anymore.
A furious Sharon watched the duo leave. What happened today was an utter embarrassment.
Sharon went to the restroom, where Luna was washing her dress.
"What's wrong with you today, Luna Maynard?" Sharon vented.
"Sorry, Mrs. Barrett. It was all my fault. But I swear I argued with Ms. Monalize for Tim."
"For my son? Why?"
Mixed feelings sat upon Luna's brows. "Mrs. Barrett, didn't I tell you yesterday that Ms. Monalize has a sick daughter at the hospital? I've only just found out myself, and Tim has been busy—"
"Enough. Stop beating around the bush. Go straight to the point." Sharon's patience was running thin.
Luna swallowed her displeasure before recounting, "Ms. Monalize's daughter has leukemia and has the same blood type as Tim. He agreed to donate his bone marrow if they were a match."
"What? Donate his bone marrow?" Sharon's face turned pale as she couldn't believe her ears. "No way. Tim would never do such a dangerous thing."
"Mrs. Barrett, according to my friend from the hospital, Tim already had his blood drawn to do a matching test. The results will be out tomorrow night." Luna stared at Sharon. However, her eyes were hiding something.
Yesterday, she had told Sharon that Monalize had a daughter, but there wasn't any mention of the bone marrow.
