Dn turned to look at Mnie after making sure that Peachie was all right.


    She was taken aback to see the soup sshed on Mnie’s sleeve. She yanked a couple of tissues as she anxiously tried to wipe it off. “I’m sorry. That’s so clumsy of me.”


    Mnie stopped her. “It’s fine. I’ll just change into something elseter.”


    Dn looked at her and asked carefully, “Your shirt must be really expensive.”


    Mnie paused for a while before asking, “Didn’t you invite me over for a meal?”


    Dn had made soup, ribs, steak, and vegetables.


    She fed Peachie while saying to Mnie, “You should eat up. We don’t usually eat steak at home, but I wanted you to have something nice to eat, so I went to get it at the supermarket this morning.”


    Mnie had just recovered from a fever and did not have much of an appetite.


    She picked up some vegetables but found herself losing even more appetite after hearing what Dn said.


    Dn noticed that Mnie had stopped eating and quickly put some steak and ribs on Mnie’s te. “You should eat some more. I remember how much you loved my cooking when you were young.”


    Mnie saw the anxious and guilty look in Dn’s eyes. She pressed her lips and said nothing.


    After they were done, Dn cleared the table and got Peachie to take a nap inside the room.


    Mnie sat on the sofa. She knew why Dn had asked her here, and she was just waiting for Dn to bring it up.


    After Dn walked out of the room, she poured Mnie a ss of water before sitting down next to her. Just as Mnie expected, Dn began sounding her out. “Mel, I know you’re working at a bigpany in Jepton. Was that your boss the other day?”


    Mnie affirmed it, and Dn continued asking, “Do you think you can talk to him and get him to arrange for


    for your Uncle George’s release?”


    She sounded very sincere. “If anyone finds out about this, they’ll gossip about it.


    Mnie had already expected this, but it felt even more horrible when Dn said it out loud.


    she calmed herself down before replying “I think you’re overestimating me. Do you really think I can convince my boss?”


    Dn was taken aback as she began mumbling, “Just go and beg him. Can’t he help with such a minor hing?”


    he was asking Mnie to beg Eugene.


    Even though Mnie had been mentally prepared for this, she was still filled with fury after hearing it from Dn. She stood up, and her voice trembled as she said to Dn, “Am I so worthless to you? Why don’t you ever consider my situation?”


    Dn got frantic when she saw Mnie enraged. She stood up as well.


    She pulled on Mnie’s hand and continued begging, “Please help me with this, Mel. I’m begging you. Please help me!”


    Dn was about to kneel in front of Mnie when Mnie grabbed her by the arms and dragged her

    She was still mumbling about it, and Mnie finally could not take it anymore. She yelled at Dn, Dn Lancaster! Just wake up already!”


    Dn wiped away her tears and suddenly broke down. “How am I supposed to do that? How do you expect me to? He’s a terrible man, but what can I do?”


    “He’s still Peachie’s father no matter how terrible he is.” Dn buried her face into her hands as she sobbed quietly. She was miserable.

    Mnie stood there and watched her calmly. “If he’s such.a person, why don’t you just divorce him?”


    Dn sobbed into her hands and did not reply, but Mnie knew the answer.


    It was because Peachie was still young.


    Peachie could not be without a father.
