Jade's wife came in, her eyes a bit red as if she had been crying.
She was outside chatting with Kiara's mother, not sure what they talked about, but they touched on something that saddened her.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down." Kiara's tone was clearly warmer towards her than towards Jade.
She could tell that this sister-in-law was genuinely a fan of hers.
She also saw that this sister-in-law was at a breaking point in her life, that she must be at her wits' end to give such a pleading look to someone she barely knew; a moment's indifferent can sometimes strip a desperate person of their last hope, while a little help might just give someone in a hopeless situation a renewed hope.
"Kiara, maybe I shouldn't tell you all this, after all, you are Jade's relative, I..." This was another reason why Jade's wife felt so hopeless.
