Before entering the house, Silvia calmed herself down. She could not let Mrs. Turner notice that she was upset. "Mom, I am back!" "Silvia, let me take a look at your hand." Mrs. Turner was thinking about Silvia's injury all day and was afraid that it would have gotten worse.
Silvia put down her bag and showed Mrs. Turner by raising her hand. "Mom, I went to the doctor just now before going home. The doctor said that it will heal in a few days."
Mrs. Turner felt relieved, knowing that Silvia's wound was treated. "Go wash your hands then and let's have an early dinner."
"Mom, let me guess what delicacies you made today" Silvia took a big whiff. "Yeah, I can smell the fragrance of pigeon. If I'm not wrong, you must have made pigeon soup."
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "My greedy little cat. You have such a great sense of smell."
Silvia held Mrs. Turner in her arms. "Mom, if you continue to feed me like this, I will definitely gain weight."
"It's better if you get fatter." Mrs.
Turner pinched Silvia's face. "My darling is perfect in every way, but just a little thin. If you gain a few pounds, you will definitely look better."
Silvia pouted her lips. "Mom, are you complaining?"
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Yes I am, so you should wash your hands and eat."
Silvia said cheekily, "Yes, ma'am!"
After dinner, Silvia returned to her room. Without her mother's company, the room became quiet. She thought of Felix again.
The Felix she was waiting for finally came back. However, there seemed to be a bridge between them that could not converge. The two of them could never be together again.
He was still the Felix she knew. The one who changed was her.
She knew that Felix was injured, but she could not do anything to help him.
She couldn't help find his murderer, nor could she take care of him. She could not even treat him like a friend like she used to.
She wondered what was her reason to stay alive if she could not even help.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She felt so sorry that she could not take it anymore.
"Ding, ding, ding."
Audrey's call came in just when Silvia was moping.
Silvia answered the call, and she heard Audrey saying, "Silvia, I'm outside your apartment. Come stay with me for one night."
Audrey heard from Reagan about what happened to Silvia, and she knew Silvia could be stubborn. She wanted to bring Silvia home to talk to her.
"What's wrong with you?" When she received Audrey's invitation to her house, Silvia intuitively felt that something happened to Audrey. Otherwise, Audrey would not make such a request on such a snowy day.
"Yes, there is something I could not figure out. I want you to come over so you and I can have a chat." Audrey was afraid that Silvia would not be willing to come, so she improvised and played along.
"Give me a moment, I'll tell my mom go find you." Silvia had no doubts. She agreed to accompany Audrey without hesitation because she was worried about Audrey.
After notifying Mrs. Turner, Silvia hurriedly went downstairs. When she walked out of the community, she saw that Audrey's car was parked there. She walked over and got on the car. "Audrey, what happened?"
Audrey started the car. "Let's talk about it when we get back."
