Nora and Rose just finished their video call. They talked about some of each other's recent life status, and some things when they were young, only to feel how time flied. They were once both little girls. But now, they were both mothers.
Since Anika, Alan's mother, moved to Springhill Villa, Nora's daily life seemed to be full and regular.
Anika would get Nora up at 9:00 a.m. for a nutritious breakfast, then go for a walk, and prepare fresh fruit for her around 10:30.
At noon, she also prepared meals suitable for pregnant women for Nora. Then, Nora would take a nap after lunch. In the afternoon, there were classes for new mothers and yoga classes for pregnant women, once a week.
Originally, Anika had intended to invite private teachers to teach at home. But Nora didn't want to stay at home every day and couldn't go anywhere. So, she enrolled in these classes on the premise of going to the class outside.
Nora also wanted to take this opportunity to get some fresh air, not to stay at home. She felt like she was too bored.
Nora knew Anika did this for her own good. But she didn't want to be in control of her life and be set up to live it.
She respected Anika. But there were some issues of principle that she couldn't compromise on, and she was straightforward about it.
Although Anika would be a little unhappy, Nora was very firm. Besides, Alan would also speak for Nora. So, she had no choice but to compromise.
Nora looked at the time. It was time for the new mother's class today. She needed to leave at 2:30 p.m.
She could still sleep for a while. She was more sleepy than usual because of her pregnancy.
She hadn't had a chance to meet Oca or think about it much during the time she stayed at home.
Nora was in a daze when she was woken up by the ring of her mobile phone. She fumbled for it and glanced. It was an unfamiliar number.
She picked it up anyway. Her voice was a little hoarse because she just woke up, "Hello?"
"Ms. Nora, it's me ... Lillian," the voice on the other side was scared and shaking.
As soon as Nora heard her name, she was not sleepy at all, sat up, and leaned over the bed, "What can I do for you?"
"Ms. Nora, please ... please, help me." Lillian begged in a low voice and tried to suppress the sobs.
"What happened?" Nora asked her.
"Ms. Nora, can I see you? There are some things I want to say to you in person." Asked by Nora in this way, Lillian cried louder.
"Lillian, I don't think it's necessary." After what happened last time, Nora was more cautious. After all, she was no longer alone now. She was pregnant and had a baby. She needed to be more careful.
"Ms. Nora, I know I did something wrong to you. So, you will no longer trust me. I did not listen to your advice to use legal means to deal with Nathan. Now, I am in this situation. I deserve it... Ms. Nora, please give me a chance. I will do everything you say this time and cooperate. I want Nathan to pay the price!" Lillian gritted her teeth. It could be seen how much she hated Nathan.
"The last time I left, you said that as long as I thought clearly, I could look for you at any time. Ms. Nora, no one can help me except you now. This time, I am ready to risk everything, even my life, to let Nathan die!"
Nora felt clearly that Lillian did not pretend it.
It seemed that something bad happened between Lillian and Nathan again, which forced her to make such a choice.
"OK." Nora agreed, "We will meet at the villa by the sea last time. Where are you? I'll have my driver pick you up. But you may wait for me some more time. I might not be there until five or six."
