144 Fate (Second Update)_4

Forsythia Brown's lips curled into a smile, saying, "What? Don't believe me? Ah, this is difficult, Norma Ruby, we've had nearly 20 years of friendship, you know?"

Norma Ruby's eyes finally changed, saying, "Thanks for your kindness. I believe Gem won't forget about Elijah; even though Elijah doesn't talk much, the father and son have never had any communication problems."

Father-son communication?

That's where you're clever, Norma Ruby.

Your words, always able to advance or retreat.

Take a step forward, and you can hurt people.

Take a step back, and you can successfully withdraw.

Forsythia Brown's mouth unconsciously curled up again, saying, "Really? Then I guess I'm just being overly concerned. But what I wanted to ask is, since you're so confident that there are no problems between Gem and Elijah, why are you still worried and sad?"

"I...I'm just worried about you being hurt."
