Ronald questioned, “Why only three meals? Isn’t Aubree’s diet specifically customized to follow the principle of frequent, smaller meals?”

Carmen, sitting in the middle, started to panic, fidgeting with her fingers uneasily. “Maybe the kitchen was too busy and made a mistake?”

Even Trevor, who usually took things lightly, looked surprised. ‘Aubree couldn’t even eat enough here?’ he said inwardly.

Alice also felt a vague sense of unease, but since everything had already passed, perhaps, as Carmen said, it was just a mistake in the kitchen.

“The mistake has already happened, and there’s nothing we can do to change it. We’ll just have to make it up to Aubree when she comes back,” she said, trying to brush it off.

Emery suddenly thought of what Aubree said to him at the school gate today. “If it were Carmen, would this matter just pass by so easily?”

He suddenly felt unsure, asking inwardly, “Were our actions really right?’

It was suffocating. The pain in his heart seemed to spread to his limbs. His eyes were sore, and without looking, he knew they must be red.
