Chapter 1256

Evelyn gazed at Thalassa with sorrow etched deep in her eyes. Thalassa, I got the sack today,” she said, her voice tinged with despair. The boss said I was too clumsy, that I couldn’t even clean properly. Am I just useless? I can’t seem to do anything right.”

For a while, Evelyn had worked as a janitor, grappling with the bitterness and the hard graft of the job. It was only now that she truly understood the struggle of working out in the world. Even in a job as seemingly simple as cleaning, there was isolation and reprimand.

She felt a newfound empathy for Thalassa and the hardships she had faced while working away from home. Every day Thalassa came home exhausted, and there she was adding to her daughter’s burden with scolding words and undue pressure. It was truly improper.
