"Mum, let's go see Uncle," Phoebe Smith said, gently squeezing Susanna Smith's hand, expressing her sympathy.
Phoebe had corrected herself over the past two days, switching from calling her "aunt-in-law" to "Mum," forming a closer relationship with Susanna Smith.
Watching Bella White's car drive out of the parking lot, Susanna couldn't help but speak angrily, "That damn Bella White, even after more than 20 years, she's still living such a charmed life. If I had known, I should have had her ovaries removed – no, I should have let her die from hemorrhaging during an abortion!"
Susanna Smith's angry outburst was meant merely as a vent, but it pierced Phoebe's heart and led her to perform such a daring act later on. (That is a story for another time and not to be discussed here.)
Susanna Smith and Phoebe each carried an insulated lunch box to Ethan Thompson's ward, only to be chased out as soon as they entered.
"Get out, as far as possible, don't be a nuisance to my eyes!"
