Sarah thought that Mrs. Thomas would change her mind and then like her over time. And then her marriage would be happy. But now, it was impossible. Mrs. Thomas didn’t like her at all, and didn’t seem like she was open to ever liking Sarah one day – she just wanted to drive her away.
Although she knew that Mr. Thomas and Charles would support her and that Emma didn’t mean to destroy her family, Sarah still felt uncomfortable, and even a little sad.
She went back to the ward and found her cellphone. Mr. Thomas was sleeping, so she didn’t wake him up. She just glanced at him and was about to leave. Mrs. Thomas and Emma came back at this moment.
Emma was surprised, “Sister, why are you here? When did you come back? I didn’t see you.”
The place where they had the conversation just now was the only way to the ward. They stayed there the whole time and didn’t see Sarah, so when they saw her in the ward, they were surprised.
Sarah answered, “Oh, just now, there was an operation vehicle entering the elevator, so I took the stairs.” Sarah made an excuse.
“All right.” Maybe Emma was just pure that she simply trusted her. “What are you doing back here?” She asked again.
Sarah shook her cellphone and pretended to be relaxed. “I came here for my cell phone. Now that I have it, I’m going back now. Emma, Mom, see you later! You’ve had a long day.”
“Okay, see you. Brother is waiting for you now.” Emma replied.
Sarah nodded and bowed to Mrs. Thomas. Then she left.
After Sarah left, Emma said to Mrs. Thomas, “Mom, she looked unhappy.”
Mrs. Thomas sneered, “It is great if she heard our conversation. Then I needn’t waste my time.”
