When she was looking over at the yard in dismay, her eyes lit up, on seeing a beautiful Greenhouse in the middle of the weeds, Miley couldn't help it when she found herself carefully parting the weeds and started walking towards the greenhouse. To Miley's delight, the greenhouse wasn't locked. She opened the door carefully and entered. It was empty, except for a white swing. The greenhouse was very clean and there was not a single sight. She walked to the swing and sat down. It was very comfortable. She gave a slight push with her feet and sighed in pleasure when the swing swayed gently. Miley leaned back and rested her head on the back and looked up through the glass roof. She could see the beautiful blue sky and the soft cottony clouds. The sunshine shone through the glass, which was warm and bright. A thought passed through her mind that made Miley feel a little sad.
"Mom! Dad! Are you happy up there?"
Tears were welled up in her eyes.
"Miss Miley! Where are you?" Tina's voice came.
She wiped her as she replied. She stood up hastily and walked to the door of the greenhouse.
She sat at the dining table and took in the three simple dishes and one soup on the table. That was more than enough for her.
"Miss Miley, you have your lunch. I'll get back to work."
"Aunt Tina, sit down and have lunch with me."
"Miss Miley, the difference between a master and a servant is there for a reason. I…"
"Aunt, let me make one thing very clear with you. There is no master-servant relationship between us. I cannot eat so many dishes by myself. Besides, I find it very lonely to eat alone. Anyway, if you have lunch with me, no one will know, unless we tell someone." Miley looked at her sincerely.
Miley was touched by Tina's words. She did realize how sad and lonely it was for anyone to eat alone.
"Fine, Miss Miley. If you could wait a minute, I'll go get a bowl and chopsticks for myself."
Miley was relieved and looked at Tina with a big smile on her face. When Tina returned with the bowl and chopsticks, Miley graciously said, "Aunt Tina, please sit down. Let's have lunch together."

Miley stood on the road which demarcated the cemetery. She stood in the spot where her parents had been buried. She just stood there staring into space.
With her shoulders shaking terribly, and tears slipping down her face, she fell to her knees and sobbed,
"Mom! Dad!"
Mikey was so lost in her misery and tears that she didn't notice it had started drizzling. She was still crouched down, staring at nothing in particular. Her mind was blank, as she kept staring and her tears kept falling.
There were so many things she wanted to say to her parents but she just kept calling them.
After she came back, Miley went straight to her room.
There was a knock on the door several times so it was so annoying to Miley's ears. Slowly she opened his eyes lazily. Rise sat up holding the head which was still a little dizzy. Glancing at the clock, which turned out to be half past seven in the evening.
'What happened to me?' She thought as she entered the bathroom.
Brak!
The door opened quite loudly. When Dexter entered the room, he didn't see Miley. The door of the bathroom was still firmly closed, so he thought that she might still be having a bath in it.
'How dare she throw a tantrum?' He frowned hard.
"Miley," he called out. He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
"Could there be anything wrong with her?' he thought to himself.
"Miley, can you hear me?" he asked with so much concern.
There was still no response from her. This made him so tensed up. He pushed the door open and went in immediately. After all the door was not locked. As soon as he entered the bathroom, he saw that Miley was asleep in the bathtub. Dexter was shocked and touched her. It was very hot.
'Bull*hit!"
He cursed under his breath as he pulled her out of the water and wrapped her with a bath towel. He carried her out of the bathroom and put her on the bed.
Then he went downstairs to get the medical kit. He took her temperature first and called Kelvin. With Kelvin's advice, he gave her a suitable medicine.
"Mr. Lombard, is everything okay with Miley?" Tina was standing aside. She was visibly worried about Miley but also felt curious about what had happened to her.
It seemed everything was fine with her but when she entered the room, she developed a fever all of a sudden.
Dexter came to meet Miley as his Grandma urged him to visit her.
