The lights in the gorgeous villa were warm and yellow. Bette took the bone porcelain coffee cup and had a sip, and quietly read the original text on her lap.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Bette smiled, stood up, and opened the door.
Lightning and thunder tore open the dark sky.
Hester, who was in a sorry state, stood at the door and stared at Bette.
"You arrived a little later than I thought." Bette smiled. "Come in."
Unlike Bette's elegance and dignity, Hester was covered in rain and dirt. Hester's hair was scattered, and strands of hair stuck to her face. Hester's originally clean and elegant face was pale and cold because of the cold rain.
"Return my son to me." Hester stood in front of Bette and said word by word, her voice as firm as a stone.
Bette sat back on the sofa, put the blanket on her lap, picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip. She looked up at the battered Hester, "Your son? Do you think you deserve it?"
