On the balcony.
Luna let out an exhale and regained her composure before finally dialing Yannie's number.
Denise wanted to know what was going on with Thomas, and in Luna's opinion, no one would know this better than Yannie.
Yannie picked up the phone almost immediately. "Hello, Luna."
Luna pursed her lips. "Yannie, how…how are things on your end?"
Yannie paused for a moment, then turned to glance at the room. With the help of the doctors and nurses, Thomas was slowly putting his clothes back on. "I…can't say."
For some reason, Thomas had suffered amnesia regarding the events that had transpired. He could not remember anything that happened at Howard Mansion, or, to be precise, he could not seem to recall anything that happened after Senior Howard got shot.
His memory seemed to have stopped there.
However, he could vaguely recall that someone had spiked his food, and he had some recollection of sleeping with a woman, but he did not know the identity of said woman.
Therefore, at Rachel's suggestion, Yannie decided to admit that she was the one whom he had slept with to stabilize his emotions.
This seemed to be the answer Thomas wanted to hear. It seemed to also significantly reduce the guilt of realizing he had harmed his own father.
Therefore, with the doctors' and nurses' help, Thomas was getting ready to go visit his father.
Yannie sighed, and as she glanced at Thomas out of the corner of her eye, she could not help feeling even more defeated.
Every time she thought of what happened between Thomas and Denise, she could not help feeling as though something was crushing her. Just to keep Thomas' emotions in check, she had no choice but to pretend that she was the one he had slept with.
However, no one seemed to be concerned about her feelings throughout all this. It was as though her thoughts and feelings did not matter in the face of such events.
What mattered was Thomas and everyone else except her.
