Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 23

'When the company was running well, they were good friends. When something went wrong, they suddenly became strangers.' Mandy grimaced at the thought. 'This is the harsh reality. Indeed, nothing is permanent. You would know your true friends when you are at your worst, ' Mandy thought to herself.

"Mom, it's normal. That's how things work in this world. Now that you have seen their true colors, don't try to reach out to those people again," Mandy said as she stretched out her hands to give her mom a comforting hug. Now, it was her turn to take good care of her mother, especially now that her father was away.

"Mandy, let's visit your father tomorrow, okay?" Madeline suggested. She had stayed home the whole day. But she didn't dare to visit her husband, afraid that he would feel sorry for her.

"Mom, I've already been to the police station today. The officers said that we can't visit dad for a week," Mandy lied. She was afraid that her mom would be more depressed if she saw the awful situation with her father.

"Really?" Madeline doubted. She definitely longed to see her husband. She rubbed her temples and slowly closed her eyes.
