Chapter 7

At another place,

A woman arranges things on the dining table while chatting with a child. Their conversation was very cheerful, and sometimes the woman stroked her son's chubby cheeks. A look full of affection and love. The blossoming feeling is for someone who is loved but dies after being betrayed. Only the child and the baby heal her grief. The child voiced her opinion that she wanted to help her mother cook. Her mother nodded her head and kissed her cheek lovingly.

"I want to help mommy cook."

"Okay, dear. Before that, wash your hands and let them be clean before you can help cook. " She took a stool near her mother's desk and sat down to stand up so she could wash her hands in the sink. Her height does not go over the sink, and to help increase her height, she uses the stool. She always follows the hand-washing steps her mother taught her. She wet her hands with clean, preferred running water. She applies enough soap to cover all the surfaces of her hands and wrists. Lather and rub her hands together briskly and thoroughly. She makes sure to scrub all the surfaces of her hands, fingertips, fingernails, and wrists. She scrubs her hands and wrists for at least 20 seconds. After that, she rinses her hands and wrists under clean, preferably running water. She dried her hands and wrists with a clean towel. Finally, she uses a towel to turn the faucet.

She suddenly heard a woman's voice ringing in her ears praising herself for successfully washing her hands every time she wanted to help her mother in the kitchen or before and after eating.

"Yes! You did good, kid."

After washing her hands using the hand sanitizer placed next to the sink, the child wiped her hands using a small towel with a picture of a tiger on it. She wiped her hands diligently once until they were clean. She showed her clean hands to her mother.

"Mommy, look. My hands are clean, so I can help mom cook. "

Her mother, who had finished preparing the ingredients on the table, answered her softly. 2 tbsp sesame oil, 2 inch (5 cm) peeled and cut into thin strips ginger knob, 12 oz (320g) cut into pieces chicken, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp shoaxing wine, 1 cup water, and 3 tsp ground white pepper. All the ingredients are placed in a small bowl.

"Sweetheart, you only need to give the cooking ingredients on the plate to your mother."

"Okay, mommy. "What are we cooking today, mommy?" Her daughter's curiosity was very high, but her mother never complained and explained it to her patiently.

"Today we will cook sesame chicken."

"Wow!! I like to eat "sesame chicken."

The woman just smiled and turned on the gas stove, took the pan, and put it on the gas stove. After the pan is hot, she adds the sesame oil. When the oil is fully heated, add the ginger strips and stir fry until light brown or aromatic. Add the chicken and stir fry for about 10-15 seconds before adding the soy sauce, wine, and ground white pepper. She added the water and did a few quick stirs. She'll cover the skillet with the lid, turn the heat to low, and let the chicken cook for about 10 minutes. The chicken becomes tender and the sauce thickens. You can see the woman's love for cooking. Apart from sesame chicken, there is also wonton soup that he cooks. The children help arrange the used bowls on the table so that it looks neat. The cooked food was served by her mother on the table. Only the two of them eat, the baby is not still sleeping in the bedroom. Seeing her daughter impatient to eat, her mother smiled and took the food that was served on the table for her and put it on her plate. The child then scoops up the food using a spoon and eats it. She chews slowly and is very fussy when eating. Her sitting position and the way she eats are very polite and elegant. It's like being taught to be civil like that when eating.

The woman watched the child eat, and her style seemed to be that of a person. While they were both eating, the woman's mobile phone rang, and she hurriedly got up to answer the incoming call so as not to disturb the baby who was sleeping in the bedroom.

She saw "private number" on the screen. She knew the caller. She pressed the green button on the screen and heard a voice there without saying hello.

"Remember, you wouldn't be where you are now if it wasn't for her."

He said that after saying that , the call was terminated. Hearing those words made her heart hot. Her hatred was overflowing, as if she didn't know where to express her feelings. While she was overwhelmed by her feelings, she heard her daughter's voice calling from the direction of the kitchen, and she immediately changed her face with a sweet smile and returned to the kitchen to accompany her daughter to eat. She had no appetite to eat again and only accompanied her daughter, who ate with a full appetite.

The kid is still small and eating healthy food is one of the ways to improve body growth. After eating, the kid helps her mother tidy up and wash the dirty dishes. She is indeed a very diligent kid in helping her mother. After finishing washing the dishes, he arranged the clean dishes on the used plate rack. It's not that they don't have a dishwasher, but she wants to be independent without the help of a machine. The presence of technology is very helpful in managing daily affairs, but children should be educated to experience independent living without relying too much on technology.

Her daughter, after helping her mother continue to shower and sleep. Her mother is still cleaning the room, which is a bit scattered. This is the state of the house if there are children who like to play and be naughty. Sometimes it's messy and sometimes it's neatly organized. When the kid feels free, she diligently organizes the toys after she plays with them. She also, after playing with the toys, placed them on the edge of the wall after playing with them. The woman smiled sweetly. Her life would be lonely without both of her mischievous children. While the woman was arranging the books on the small table of the guest house, suddenly a piece of 4R paper, 15cm x 10cm, fell to the floor. She did not have time to capture the picture. The picture fell slowly to the floor with its back facing her. She took a step towards the picture that had fallen to the floor, then opened it slowly. When she saw three people who were smiling happily, two adult women and a child were smiling happily, tears welled up again. It can be observed in the picture that the three people in the picture are really happy and love each other. The child's face did have similarities with the face of the woman wearing a dark blue sleeveless shirt. The other woman's gaze was focused on the woman wearing a dark blue sleeveless shirt who was smiling happily. She could see her smile showing her beautiful and neatly arranged teeth. Her eyes narrowed because of the wide of her smile. I really feel happy.

The woman, who was still looking at the picture, was finally unable to hold back her tears. Her hand that had been holding the picture for so long began to grip the corner of the 4R paper. You can see the traces of her hand imprint there. The picture starts to turn yellow. Maybe it has been flipped and held or stored for a long time. She kept putting it back behind the book she'd arranged earlier. She is worried that the picture is lost. After finishing cleaning the woman's living room They stayed in this house after she gave birth to her second child. This house has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 2 car garage. The size is about 1800 sq. ft. of spacious elegance, with natural oak floors throughout and a modern gourmet kitchen. The three families are cuddling up to a cozy fireplace when they feel the call. Every night, I drift off to sleep on the bed to the subtle sound of the natural lake. This house area is close to the school. There are 3 schools here, and they are the focus of many students. She also has a child in school, so it's easy to drop off because it's close and now she has a car, it's easier. That night, and like other nights, she was often haunted by nightmares until she woke up. When she woke up, she didn't go back to sleep and saw her daughter sleeping next to her. Seeing her sleeping daughter kicking her blanket, she covered her daughter again, afraid of the cold. Her daughter likes to move when she sleeps and doesn't sleep like other children. She looked at the baby cot where her baby was sleeping soundly and would probably wake up shortly to nurse. Babies will only wake up when they are hungry and go back to sleep when they are full or their diapers are wet. Babies are people whose emotions are easy to see. They only know how to cry and laugh when happy. It is not as difficult as being an adult. Adults have many emotions and it is difficult to know what is right and what is wrong. When she was reminded of this, the woman's mind wandered and she remembered someone she knew well. A person is very kind, friendly, and popular among her friends, but to see all of her kindness makes her blind. Blindly seeing the goodness of a person until their lives become the way they are now. The baby is only 4 months old this month and her desire to breastfeed is very strong.

She looked at the baby cot and caught the movement of her baby in the cot. Before her younger daughter began to cry, she got up slowly and carried her younger daughter and sat back on the edge of her bed. The baby's little hand moved while pulling on her mother's shirt and started whining.

"Don't cry, peanut. Be patient. " The woman had a small chat with her daughter while poking her small right ankle. The baby feeds greedily because of hunger. She is really hungry.

After being fed up, her eyes were tired, and she finally fell asleep again in her mother's lap. Her mother's warm embrace made her feel safe and helped her sleep soundly. Her mother laid her back in the baby cot so that the baby would not feel sick.

At another place,

On the seventeenth floor was Averill's office. This building has seventeen floors, and the office is located at the top. This makes it easier for her to see the environment outside the building from the transpiration mirror behind her seat. The higher the level of the building, the fewer the people walking below. Several security guards were seen manning the entrance to the building. They look very serious and are always watching the movements of people who pass by the front door of the company.

The sixteenth floor is the place where second- and third-class workers are placed. Most of them are experienced people in their respective fields.

Averill, who came to the office that day, was greeted by a security guard who knew her very well. Half of them have been with the company for a long time. Averill looked around, but there was no sign of Jenny that morning. Just then, her secretary came to her and said

"Ms. Jenny informed us that she did not come to work today because she had personal matters." The secretary wearing the suit reported the absence of the personal assistant to the chairman. Upon hearing the news, Averill just nodded and went into her office and asked her secretary to help her manage other tasks for today.

"You can go back and continue your work. If there is anything, please let me know. "

Today, Averill wears fitted long sleeves, fitted long pants, and martin boots. She looks very neat and beautiful. Her body shape can be seen from the line of the shirt that covers her slender body.
