"What? Did you say that you want to detain me?" Keira said the same thing habitually, "Do you know who I am?"
The police took out a camera to photograph Keira before saying, "Madam, no matter who you are, you're violating the regulations and harassing the girl who was hurt by your son. Thus, we have to deal with it. Besides, Miss Rowane also applied for our protection."
Staggered, Keira looked at the police officers who were photographing her and growled, "Why are you taking pictures of me? Shut it down instantly. Don't take pictures of me."
"I'm sorry, it's necessary for us to record it." The police officers weren't angry. They were just looking at her and their tones were calm, without any trace of hurry.
Keira stomped her foot in wrath. "Okay, I'll go."
Finally, she was gone.
The police said to Rowane, Leah and Ernest, "I suggest that Miss Rowane move to another place."
Ernest nodded. "Our thoughts exactly."
The police left.
Ernest and Leah fixed their eyes on Rowane.
Rowane looked back at them in embarrassment. Rubbing her hands, she said to them, "Have a seat. I'm really sorry, Leah. I... I don't know what to say."
Perceiving her awkwardness, Leah replied, "Have your breakfast first. You don't have to say anything, just eat first. Then, let's contact a property agent to get you a new living place, and a moving company to help you pack up your things and move."
"No, I can look for a property agent by myself." Gazing at Leah and Ernest, Rowane spoke bashfully, "I have already troubled you both enough. I can do it by myself. You both are also very busy. Don't worry about me."
She might've been really embarrassed to make Leah spend time on her issues. She also knew that Leah and Ernest were in their honeymoon period, so she was very courteous.
Leah couldn't bear to see her like that.
She said to Rowane, "You are not in good health now. If you were in good health, I would leave you alone. Now that you aren't, I should help you."
Hearing that, Rowane was stunned, an there was a hint of surprise and remorse flashing across her eyes.
She got even more contrite as she looked at Leah.
Rowane lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Leah, I really don't know how to repay your kindness. I used to be so immature, and I did a lot of things that hurt you. I'm so sorry and regretful."
"Let bygones be bygones. Don't bring it up anymore." Leah said open-heartedly, "There's no need to keep these things in your mind all the time. We are sisters, you don't have to be like a stranger. Have your breakfast first."
"Okay." Rowane nodded sheepishly while opening the bag of food bought by Leah.
Meawhile, Ernest said, "I'm going out to make a call and arrange for someone to look for a living place. You guys can have a chat."
He was very considerate as he knew that Leah and Rowane needed more time and space alone then.
Leah nodded at him.
Then, Ernest went downstairs with his phone to make a call.
Leah and Rowane were left in the room. Rowane awkwardly twitched her lips and said to Leah, "Leah, do you want to join me?"
Leah shook her head. "I've had mine."
Rowane nodded and lowered her head to chomp on a pancake and drink the coffee. However, as she was having her breakfast, tears started to stream from her eyes.
The tears pattered on the pancake.
Seeing that, Leah silently handed her a tissue paper. She looked at her and said, "You haven't even completed your confinement period yet. Don't cry. Just focus on getting healthy again."
"I'm not crying." Shaking her head, Rowane looked at Leah shyly and took over the tissue paper to wipe away her tears. "I'm just touched. I used to treat you badly, but you're still willing to accept me as your sister and forget all that I've done."
Leah smiled. "Actually, you're quite cute now. After all, we're the only ones left in our family. There's no need for us to estrange ourselves from each other."
"Yeah, you're so kind, Leah." With some tears still on her face, Rowane grinned at Leah.
Leah also beamed at her while handing over another tissue paper.
Rowane did not take it.
Afterward, Leah wiped off the tears from her face herself. She looked at her and said, "Don't cry. It's not good for your eyes. It's still not too late to make a fresh new start." "Yes." Rowane nodded.
Leah watched as Rowane had her breakfast.
