Chapter 2666
"Mrs. Wallace Sr. How have you been recently?" Tia asked. She looked embarrassed as she met Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s eyes.
"Don't worry about it, Tia. I'm fine. Luna's been here taking care of me. Please don't pretend you're fine when you're not in the future, okay? It's worrying," said Mrs. Wallace Sr. with some agony in her voice.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. had overheard that Tia had gotten pneumonia and was at the brink of death due to her delay in getting treatment.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry everyone, especially Mrs. Wallace Sr." Tia had guilt written all over her face.
Stanley spoke up and warned, "If you don't want anyone to worry about you, please tell us if there's anything troubling you."

"Goodness! You guys have been friends for so many years. Why are you still addressing him like that?" Gloria asked with a raised eyebrow.
Flabbergasted, Tia dropped her fork onto the table. "Pardon? n
"Look at you, calling us so formally. We're out strangers, honey," said Gloria. She then turned to look at Nicole." Nicole, you ought to do a better job in persuading her to stop addressing us like that. It feels like there's a gap between us." She sighed.
