Chapter 108

Jennifer had been shouldering the blame for more than her fair share.

At the dinner table, she served Mary some vegetable salad with the serving tongs.

Mary’s appetite had been waning, but she didn’t let it show in front of them. She tasted a bit of the tenderly braised fish, nodding in approval. “This fish is nice. Give some to our Anne, too.”

So, Jennifer obliged, serving some to Leanne.

Leanne responded politely, “Thank you, Mrs. Richardson.”

Mary’s hearing was as sharp as ever, her response quick, “Why have we moved on to formalities now?”

There was a palpable pause at the table, all with varying expressions.

When even eating became a challenge, it was a sign that the Grim Reaper was lurking nearby.

Tears welled up in Leanne’s eyes. “Don’t be silly. We’ll take it slow. How about I get your some fish soup?”
