It was a sleepless night for Amora.
The next morning, she felt dizzy.She didn't get up nor open her eyes.
Instead, she pretended to be sleeping, for she wanted to see Kane's response.
Even though Amora was still asleep, Kane would always hug and kiss her before he got up.
What about this morning? Amora held her breath and waited.
The outcome was disappointing—Kane lifted the blanket and got up once he woke up.
Then, he quickly changed his clothes and left the room without even glancing at Amora.
What is going on? Once the door was closed, Amora couldn't stop the tears from sliding down her face.
It was cold in the middle of winter, but Amora felt that her heart had frozen.
She kept lying on the bed for a long time.
"Amora? Amora?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When she heard the bang on the door, Amora quickly wiped away her tears and got up.
"Mom? Why are you up so early?"
Amora gazed at Frieda in bewilderment, for Frieda was supposed to be asleep at this hour.
Frieda grabbed Amora's arm and said, "I want to have chicken soup as well."
Chicken soup? Is she referring to the chicken soup made for Sabrina yesterday? Didn't she have the soup last night? Amora shrugged and explained, "Mom, we ate all the chicken soup last night.If you want more, I'll buy the ingredients and make the soup for you."
"There is still some soup.That fierce woman-—she hid the soup.I saw it, but she didn't want me to have it.She's a bad woman!"
Hugging Amora's arms, Frieda began to sob.
Amora got anxious instantly.
She put on a jacket on Frieda and brought her to Sabrina's room.
Much to her surprise, Amora saw a pot of chicken soup in Sabrina’s room once she arrived.
"Sabrina, what are you doing? Why are you keeping so much chicken soup? Can you finish all of it?"
"It's none of your business! Since you made the soup for me, I can decide if I want to gulp it down or otherwise," Sabrina retorted.
