From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 82

Karen pondered for a moment, “I want to go for some lobster pasta.”

Adah nodded. “Why don’t you go freshen up? I’ll head to the kitchen and get them started on breakfast.”

“Sounds good.”

Half an hour later, Karen descended the stairs just as Adah arrived in the dining room bearing a steaming plate of lobster pasta.

“Mom, your pasta’s ready. Eat it while it’s hot.”

“Thank you.” Karen’s spirits were lifted, and so was her appetite. She polished off the bowl in no time.

Dr. Lyons was of the opinion that he was the only one in Cloudcrest capable of treating Karen, hence his audacity.

After all, Karen had no other choice but to capitulate to his demands.

Karen furrowed her brow slightly. “Adah, you sent Larkin to fetch Dr. Lyons?”

Adah nodded slightly, explaining. “You wouldn’t answer your door no matter how much we knocked. I was worried it might have been something wrong with the medication you took last night, so I had Larkin go fetch Dr. Lyons.”
