“Oh!” Laura exclaimed. “Okay. Could you come find me once you’re done?”
When I went to the hospital, it was already the next day.
Since Laura could not leave the hospital, she had not eaten anything for two days, and she was starving. “Anya, don’t you care about your own uncle anymore?”
I went over and apologized to her. “I didn’t do it on purpose. There were some problems at the university. Anyway, how is Uncle Gary? Did he get hurt anywhere important?”
Laura smiled wryly, but there was resentment in her eyes. “He’s fine this time. But don’t worry. Soon, we won’t have to live like this anymore.”
As she said this, I could see eager excitement in her eyes.
I said nothing and only smiled.
Things were not going to go how she wanted.
