"Hester ... Hester..." The middle-aged woman looked up with tears all over her face. She grabbed Hester and cried non-stop, "Hester ... My Hester is gone ... Hester..."
"Mom, I'm here. I'm back. Don't be afraid. Be good. Don't be scared." Hester supported Hannah. Before she came back, Kina and Bette must have said something terrible to scare her mother.
Although her mother was crazy, she was usually very quiet and docile. She had never cried or made a fuss like this before.
Sooner or later, she would make the Carters pay!
Hester soothed Hannah and raised the lunchbox in her hand. "Mom, look, I brought you some food. Guess what it is?"
"Hester..." Hannah cried with a confused mind, but she turned her eyes on the fragrant lunchbox.
Seeing this, Hester said, "Mom, stop crying. The chicken leg won't taste delicious when it gets cold. You can cry after you have the food, okay?"
