Mr. Noth was speechless.
How did his son respond every time he was teased?
It seemed to change the topic.
He put the newspaper on the table beside, stood up and said, "I'll go and prepare some fruit for you."
"Fuck off!" Grandpa Noth said bluntly.
Mr. Noth went out with his phone.
After he went to the yard over there, he called Sarah. His tone was always so slow, with dignity and calmness. "Sa."
"Mr. Noth."
"I'm alone now, and Stephanie is not beside me." Mr. Noth was very kind to Sarah.
As for the Stephanie he and Grandpa Noth mentioned, it was Mrs. Noth.
Sarah had a lot to say, but she didn't have the courage to say it now.
Mr. and Mrs. Noth were both good people. If she told them the bad news, would it be too…
"What's wrong?" Mr. Noth's words came through the phone again.
"Can I meet you?" Sarah had never been so difficult to speak like now, "It's hard to explain it over the phone."
