Rebecca didn’t reply. It was clear–if he refused to answer her, she wasn’t about to tell him anything either.

“May?” Richard guessed, watching Rebecca’s face closely, not missing a single change in her expression.

Rebecca frowned and asked, “May knows about this, too?”

Her reaction made Richard second–guess himself. He thought, ‘But if it weren’t May, then who else would talk to Rebecca? And what reason would they have to tell her any of this?‘

“What does May know?” Rebecca pressed, leaving Richard no room for doubt.

Richard forced his emotions down and said, “Why don’t you just ask her?”

By this point, Rebecca realized she’d reached a dead end. But at least she knew that what May had said was true. She didn’t plan to stay here any longer.

Annoyed and restless, she said, “I’ll go ask her myself. And I’ll get to the bottom of things between you and Mom.” With that, she spun around and walked off.

Ian hurried after her. He caught up and walked next to her, asking casually, “Done trying to ask him?”

“He won’t say anything no matter what,” Rebecca replied.

“I can help,” Ian offered.

Rebecca said, “From the way he looked just now, it doesn’t matter how much you threaten him. If there’s something he doesn’t want to talk about, he won’t say a word. It’s no use trying.”

Jan reflected for a moment and then realized that it was indeed the case.

Once they were both in the car, Ian glanced at Rebecca, noticing the worry etched on her face. He asked, “So, are we heading to the hospital to see your mom now?”

“I’ll go myself,” Rebecca said. She really wanted to see Amelia. Even if Amelia couldn’t speak or answer her right now, Rebecca just wanted to sit with her for a while.

Ian started up the car and said, “I’ll come with you.”

The car was moving fast.

As lan thought about what he’d just heard, he asked casually, “What did you mean by ‘price‘ earlier? Isn’t it just a father’s responsibility to raise his kid?”

“I don’t really know,” Rebecca answered, her mind in a whirl–some things felt clearer now, but others seemed
