S31 103. Destroying from Within

“Ava, is your sister home yet?” Mrs. Connor asked when Ava fixed her

blanket.

Ava turned still. After one breath, she managed a smile. “I think you heard everything, Mom. You must know that we’re fighting again.”

“Even so, can’t you still pay attention to her? She’s your little sister. Ask her whether she’s home yet or not.”

The curve of Ava’s lips felt bitter. “She won’t answer my call.”

“Then, just send her a message. Tell her that I’m worried about her.”

Ava had no other choice. Again, she had to give in. However, when she found that Eva’s number was inactive, her annoyance turned into confusion. Eva never turned off her phone under any circumstances.

“How’s it going, Ava?”

Ava put her phone in the pocket. “She’s already home. She knew you asked, so she immediately answered and quickly hung up.”

Mrs. Connor nodded faintly. “Then I can sleep now.”

Seeing her mother close her eyes without saying anything else, Ava sighed. “What do I expect? Even until the end of the world, Mom will never ask about me. Eva is the only one she cares about.” She swallowed bitterly.

With a gloomy expression, Ava left the room. However, when she saw Jeremy standing in front of the door, her face immediately brightened.

“Jeremy? What are you doing here?”

Jeremy snorted slightly. “You only call me Mister when someone else is around?”

Ava blinked. “Do you want me to keep calling you Mister?”

“No, I’m actually more comfortable if you just call me by name.”

“Even in front of other people?” Ava’s eyebrows pressed against her

forehead.

Jeremy nodded slightly. “Yeah, aren’t we friends?”

“Aren’t you embarrassed if other people know you’re friends with me?” Ava inquired, sounding doubtful.

Jeremy tilted his head. “Why should be ashamed?”

Ava spread her arms briefly. “Because it’s me, a rude and shameless

Silence hung. Jeremy knew there were still words after her breath.
