The woman's voice was extremely piercing.

Hence, Vera could still hear Dahlia's mockery even through the music.

Her gaze darkened, upset she was that unlucky to meet people like this on the train.

She couldn't be bothered to respond, so she closed her eyes and leaned backward. Turning up her music, she turned a deaf ear.

Everything would be fine once she got off the train, she thought.

It was cold that night, and Vera dozed off despite not feeling sleepy earlier. This was an overnight train, so the noise in the cabin died down eventually.

Vera actually felt rather sleepy in this environment, so she closed her eyes to rest.

She drew her coat closer to her and continued sleeping.

Little did she expect that not long after that, Hank began to make a fuss again and started asking for her earphones.

A passenger next to them couldn't stand it anymore, so he chastised the woman.

"Can you do something about your child? Everyone is sleeping."

Dahlia retorted without hesitation, "Why don't I throw him to you then? What can I do if he won't listen? If you want peace and quiet, book the whole d*mn cabin!" The man was maddened by the screaming kid, so he couldn't help reprimanding.

However, little did he expect to be yelled at, so he fell silent, defeated.
