If you don’t want to stay at the hospital for observation, you can come stay at mine.”
Isaac didn’t notice anything unusual about Tony Stone, thinking it was just the usual sisterly banter. Kiara’s brow furrowed slightly–she felt that Yuki Stone seemed different somehow.
If it weren’t for the same eyebrows and eyes, Kiara would think the person standing in front of her wasn’t Yuki Stone–the style of speaking was different.
Isaac and Kiara walked on either side of Tony Stone, their arms interlinked, and headed toward the doctor’s on-call room.
It was only after they had walked away that Ryan took out a string of sandalwood prayer beads from his pocket and started to fiddle with them in his hand.
He kept rolling the beads in his hands until he saw the image of three girls supporting each other in the rain through the window. He twisted the beads around in his hand, a slight smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.
Isaac and Kiara supported a still-weak Tony Stone on their left and right.
The rain had just stopped, but the sky was still shrouded in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and roars of thunder now and then, foretelling another thunderstorm.
From a high vantage point against this gloomy background, Kiara and the others looked especially small.
“Doctor Mu Wilson, your phone call.” A young nurse handed over the phone, staring dreamily at Ryan–Doctor Mu Wilson was so handsome.
“Thank you.” Ryan took the phone, smiling at the nurse who was so smitten that she turned red-faced and dizzy.
But she did not see that the moment she turned around, there was not a hint of a smile in Ryan’s eyes. He took out a stark white handkerchief and meticulously wiped the phone that the nurse had touched as if it was teeming with bacteria.
“I’m James Norris.”
“Your response time was a bit slow. I thought something might have happened to you,” the person on the other end of the phone said cautiously.
“I don’t like carrying these annoying communication devices around with me. Their magnetic fields disrupt my thoughts, and I don’t like other people touching my things.”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know about James Norris’ peculiarities and didn’t harp on the subject.
“Is the job I asked you to do finished?”
“It’s all set.”
“Concerning your fee, our boss said he wants to settle with you after everything is done.”
“Tell your boss, if he doesn’t want to die, he should transfer the money into my account within half an hour.” Ryan’s voice was as gentle as ever, yet it sent shivers down one’s spine.
“But we haven’t seen any results. We tried to find someone to take down Emma Clark before, and the money was paid but it didn’t work out, so this time–”
“I’ve completed my task. What happens next is none of my concern. Please transfer the full amount, not a penny less, to my account. A penny less is unacceptable, hm, that’s just the kind of man I am, please don’t fall for me.”
…
Kiara drove Isaac and Tony Stone to her new home, handed Tony Stone her own pajamas, “Go take a shower first, you’re soaked.”
Kiara went to the guest bathroom, the one that Mario Yuno had decorated in an overly tacky pink, while Isaac donned an apron and started cooking hot soup noodles in the kitchen.
While Yuki Stone was showering, the sound of the falling water seemed to momentarily blank her mind–she noticed she had frequent blank spells since regaining consciousness.
Until Kiara finished her shower and knocked on the door.
“Are you done? Come out and eat!”
“Oh, right away!” Yuki Stone hurriedly changed into her clothes.
By the time she came out, the aromatic smell of the food was already in the air. Isaac’s cooking skills were not bad, in a short time he had made seafood noodles and prepared two small side dishes.
“I’ll help you serve the dishes.” Tony Stone offered to help.
Kiara pushed her down into a chair.
“Stop fussing, we’re here now.”
Yuki Stone had fainted from being drenched in the rain and was feeling weak; Kiara hoped she would just sit and rest.
Sitting in the chair, Yuki Stone watched Kiara and Isaac bustle in and out, that alien feeling of being an outsider rose in her heart again.
It was as if… she was being excluded?
This small group no longer seemed to have a place for her.
Kiara and Isaac were sisters-in-law; they did everything well together, and they could often meet being in the same city while she was the one who would leave…
It was as if a voice was saying something in her mind; she wanted to listen carefully but couldn’t hear clearly.
“Get the beef chili sauce that our mom made for Tony Stone; she likes that.” Kiara directed Isaac, who was closer to the fridge.
Heh, both Kiara and Isaac were now related by their mother-in-law, and the words “our mom” pricked Tony Stone again.
“Friendship fades when you leave the university.” Yuki Stone said expressionlessly.
“Tiara Stone, what did you say?” Isaac looked at her puzzled, had she heard wrong?
When had their happy-go-lucky friend spoken with such a gloomy tone?
Coming back to her senses, Tiara Stone let out an “ah,” “Did I say something?”
“Did you catch a fever from the rain?” Kiara came over with the chili sauce, testing Tiara Stone’s forehead temperature with her hand; it wasn’t hot.
“I’m fine, let’s eat, it smells so good, I’m dying of hunger.” Tony Stone finally returned to her normal self, showing her signature smile.
“You glutton! Eat more!” Kiara served her more food.
The three girls were gathered around just like during their university days.
“These are for you.” Isaac moved all the shrimp from her bowl to Tony Stone’s, then passed the meatballs to Mrs. Kiara, while Kiara moved the greens to Isaac, knowing she had a more particular appetite now, and took the egg yolk from Tony Stone’s bowl.
It was like back in school when they would “divide the spoils” before eating; what was a normal scene now seemed like a distant memory.
“What’s wrong, crying because the food’s bad?” Kiara put down her bowl.
Tony Stone touched her face and realized she was crying.
“I feel miserable…”
The pressure from home and the hardships of seeking help had left Tony Stone worn out. Seeing her friends reminded her of the carefree joy of their school days, deepening her desolation.
The thought that friendship fades after leaving school kept circling in her mind, a nameless anguish lodged in her chest. She kept feeling that the voice was wrong, but she had too little control over her own emotions to stop the pain.
“Even if it’s something that’s making you suffer, let’s talk about it after we eat, we’re not kids anymore, why are we thinking like them?” Kiara pushed the chili sauce closer to Tony Stone; she didn’t know what had happened in Tony Stone’s family, but she could sense something in the child had changed.
Kiara decided to have a good talk with Tony Stone after they finished eating.
“Yeah, I’m as immature as a child, while you’re so great, you can do anything, you always act so high and mighty, giving orders like you own the place.” Tony Stone covered her mouth with surprise after speaking; how could she speak to Mrs. Kiara like that?
Kiara looked at her expressionlessly, and Isaac had also lost her appetite, looking back and forth between Tony Stone and Kiara.
What was going on, why were they acting like this as soon as they met?
“Alright already, the noodles are going to clump together, whatever it is, let’s talk after we eat. Mrs. Kiara, you eat this!” Fearing an argument, Isaac tried hard to smooth things over.
Kiara stopped talking and silently ate her meal.
Tiara Stone also lost her appetite as the chaotic feelings in her heart grew stronger.
