S31 30. Diana’s Change

In the dining room, everyone turned as Frank came back with the broom and dustpan. “Where should throw this?”

Abigail pointed her finger. “Just put it there. I’ll handle it later.”

Frank walked towards the corner. From his listless movements, everyone could guess what had happened.

“What were you talking about earlier?” Philip asked, cautiously.

Frank let out a faint sigh as he approached Kara. “Not much. Grandma wondered why I could hold a broom. She suspected me as always, and she didn’t answer when I asked for her lenience for the children.”

Unbeknownst to him, Louis and Emily didn’t actually go into the living room. They stopped near the door, pressing their ears against the wall.

“It seems that we have no hope. Grandma’s hatred is really deep- rooted. Our presence in her life brings no benefit, while our departure does not give her a sense of loss.”

“I think Grandma will be very grateful and relieved if we leave the farm,

Philip nodded. “Yeah, I also think so. Grandma even kicked me out. She couldn’t stand the bad memories that haunt her anymore.”
