Gloria had never been one to be unreasonable and unforgiving, so she smiled. "Are you here to invite me back to the dance group?"
The woman smiled. "That is secondary. The main thing is to apologize to you. I must apologize since I have made a mistake. Of course, I also must invite you back to the dance group. Although you started late, you dance quite well still, and you're the soul of our dance group."
Gloria said, "You're too kind."
The two women then laughed. Gloria could not help but ask, "Why did you think of apologizing to me, and who told you about my family matters?"
Speaking of this, that woman chuckled. "Gloria, although your past experience is quite ineffable and your father is quite inhuman, it was your father who truthfully told me everything. He even told me to walk a mile in a person's shoes before judging the person. H e said he had wronged you, so it was right for you to ignore him for life. I was originally not going to tell you all these if you hadn't asked me. The old man was the one who told me not to tell you. However, since you have asked me, let me just be nosy and tell you this. I think since that old man is already ninety years old, how much longer can he live?"
Gloria was speechless. She was distracted for the
whole day today. All she could think of was what the woman said to her. "How much longer can he live?"
At times, the image of that gray-haired old man in the wheelchair sneakily watching her as she was dancing would cross her mind. Gloria had a mixed feeling in her heart. The following day when she went to the dance group again, she did not see Old Master Shaw anymore. Without knowing the reason, Gloria felt a little empty in her heart and she was also absentminded as she danced.
When she had just crossed the intersection on her way home from the dance group, Gloria saw that figure with a wheelchair. She hurriedly went up to him.
Old Master Shaw was caught right in the act. He then raised his head and looked at Gloria with incomparable guilt. "Gloria, I...I will no longer go to see you at the dance studio, and I will also no longer stop i n front of your house anymore. I...I was just passing by today."
"Passing by?" Gloria sneered.
Old Master Shaw said, "There's a renovation team near your house who does both indoor and outdoor renovations, as well as repairing old houses. A few days ago, when I was outside of your house, I saw that the corner of your house was a little sunken. If one corner of the house has sunken, then the rest of the wall would become unstable. I am here today to talk to that renovation team and have them go to your house
