Sarah realized that Charles didn’t trust her. She didn’t know why it hurt so much, she felt like her world was collapsing in front of her. Charles continued to believe and defend others over her. Sarah realized that Charles would never completely trust her like he trusted Emma, he would always be suspicious of her.
But why was he blindly trusting the others over her? That was the difference between Emma and her. Emma had his trust, whereas Sarah didn't.
Christina interfered. “There’s no need to ask. What if she fell in love with somebody else, and you are the only one who doesn't know about it?”
Sarah didn’t respond to Christina but just stared at Charles. After a few seconds, she asked. “Do you believe that? Charles, I just want to know what you think.” She stared at him, continued as if she wasn't going to stop until she got an answer from him.
Looking at her expression, Charles started to doubt, but he still answered with a harsh and cold expression, “I just want to ask you, why did you give Daniel a gift instead of me?” He still questioned her, avoiding answering her directly.
Sarah looked at him, her heart filled with disappointment. She was so tired from the last few days, and all she wanted was to escape from reality, but somehow just had to keep facing reality in its face with all its troubles.
In the past, Charles’s support had given her some warmth, but now, even he doubted her, so she didn’t know why she was still staying. Sometimes, she really felt like talking it through with them and telling them all her anger and injustice into their face and then leaving. Maybe, leaving was true to her! She had gone through many difficult things in her life and never relied on anyone. So why should she tolerate them now?
However, Mr. Thomas was very sick and still in the operating room. She knew he expected them to get along with each other, how could she argue with them outside the operating room where he was fighting for his life? If she only considered herself right now, Mr. Thomas could get mad or upset again, and he wasn’t strong enough for that.
Thinking of how good Mr. Thomas had always treated her, she couldn’t let him down right now. She squeezed her fists tightly to suppress her anger and said with a cold voice. “Your dad is in the operating room now; can we talk about it later?”
However, Christina wasn't ready to let go. “Are you trying to find an excuse? You can’t find a good reason, so you're looking for an excuse.”
Emma, who was still standing beside her mom, added, “Mom, Sarah wouldn’t do something like that. She really cares about dad, or else she wouldn’t have gone out with Daniel to buy food for him!”
