Chapter 91: Go and Apologize to Tina

At Ensford High School, following the last class of the day, Elena and Amber left the classroom together. Amber, preoccupied and clutching her phone, had been distracted these past days. Beatrice had been incessantly calling her about Shonna's poor condition, urging her to visit, but she hadn't gone. She had witnessed Dr. Ward prescribe a medication for a patient with a disfigured face, a patient who was now cured, and she firmly believed the prescription was flawless. Yet Beatrice insisted that after taking the medicine, Shonna's fever persisted, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, which soured Amber's mood. Could it really be Shonna's own health issues, and yet they expected her to bear the blame? Initially, when Beatrice first called her, Amber had patiently explained a few times. But as the calls became more frequent, every few minutes, her patience wore thin, and she stopped answering altogether. However, since noon, the calls had ceased, and a sense of unease crept into her heart. Could something have happened to Shonna?

"What's wrong, Amber? You've been so distracted," Elena noticed her friend's unusual demeanor and inquired.

Amber was jolted back to reality by Elena's voice, offering a smile and a shake of her head, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about the question the teacher discussed today." Changing the subject, she asked, "By the way, Elena, how's your uncle? Did he manage to keep his job?"

Elena became agitated. "Don't even mention it. My uncle was fired and there have been issues with our family business. My brother hasn't gone to work either."

Amber was surprised, "How did that happen?"

"I'm not sure. My parents haven't told me the details, but there's been a lot of tension at home. My parents and brother are always wearing cold expressions; I don't even dare to speak with them."

"Does it have something to do with my sister?" Amber probed.

"I overheard my parents talking; they mentioned the Farrell family. It seems Mr. Farrell has taken Tina's side," Elena said resentfully. "Amber, I really feel for you. You're the one who deserves Mr. Farrell. You're the one who's truly outstanding, yet because you're adopted, you had to give up your fiancé to her."
