S21 71. Bitter Reality

Melanie got up and walked quickly towards her daughter. The others immediately stepped aside, while Emily ran towards Philip. Barbara quickly protected her wound.

“Oh, my sweet daughter. Are you not sick anymore? People said you needed to be hospitalized for a few days. I wanted to visit you, but they didn’t allow me. They were afraid I would be hysterical.”

Melanie stroked Barbara’s hair, as she usually did. However, Barbara felt strange. She couldn’t even smile

“Yes, I’m getting better. How are you Mom? Are you getting better too?” Her voice was hoarse.

“I’m not sick. I just miss you, Darling. But now, you’re home. There’s nothing more for me to worry about. As soon as your dad comes home, we’ll have dinner together, hmm?”

“Phil?” Melanie’s eyebrows pressed against her forehead. Her eyeballs shook as if checking her memory.

“That’s a great name. What about your business, Phil? What company do you run?”

Philip swallowed hard. “I work with the Harper family.” He didn’t want to fake his identity.
