Yanis had no energy the entire following day, but she still gathered herself and went with Zane to the Jones family.
The Jones family had only one daughter, Nancy, and her incident had aged Mr. and Mrs. Jones overnight. Mrs. Jones, in particular, had grown a head full of white hair in just one night.
Yanis couldn't describe the feeling she had when she saw Mrs. Jones standing there with vacant eyes.
It felt as if a heavy stone had been lodged in her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Yanis stood there absentmindedly until Zane came over and gently patted her shoulder, bringing her back to reality. She turned her head and looked at Zane, whispering, "I'm okay."
Yanis composed herself and said, "Let me say hello, and then we can go back."
Zane nodded. "I'll wait here."
Yanis acknowledged with a sound, then walked toward Mrs. Jones. She greeted her and exchanged a few words before leaving the Jones family with Zane.
"When is Anika returning to South Hospital?" Yanis asked as they got into the car.
Zane replied, "In the evening. Iris took her back. The trip to Duncan Residence has been postponed until Iris returns from her business trip."
After listening to Zane, Yanis nodded. "Zane, can you drop me off at the store? Bonnie is there."
Zane turned to Yanis. "Don't you want to rest at home today?"
"No need. I'll go to the store."
Zane didn't say anything more when he heard Yanis' response. He simply drove her to the store.
Once the car was parked, Zane glanced at the store. Seeing Bonnie, Stella, and Sandy inside, he decided not to get out of the car. "I'll come to pick you up in the evening."
Yanis unbuckled her seatbelt and murmured, "Okay."
She got out of the car, closed the door, waved goodbye to Zane, and entered the store.
Zane watched Yanis enter before driving away.
"Yanis." Stella called out as soon as she saw Yanis come in.
Upon hearing Stella's voice, Bonnie and Sandy turned to look at the entrance.
Yanis approached the three of them. "Why are you all sitting here?"
Bonnie scooted over to make room. "Did you visit the Jones family?"
Yanis acknowledged with a sound. "Just came back from there."
After Yanis sat down, Bonnie gently patted her shoulder. "It's all fate."
Regarding Nancy's situation, Bonnie had called Lane last night and was equally shocked upon hearing the details.
At first, Andrew had left a great impression on all of them.
But no one could have imagined that he was capable of such actions.
And Aunt Rivers' behavior was also shocking and left everyone speechless.
In this world, there are always things that make people feel helpless and insincere.
Nancy's life was probably doomed to be unlucky.
That's why she encountered Neve first and got caught up in it, losing her prideful job.
She thought that meeting Andrew later in life would bring stability, but little did she know that he wasn't a good person.
