After she finished speaking, another bout of coughing ensued.
"Mom..."
"It's alright, I'm fine. I've always been afraid to call you because I didn't want you to worry about hearing me cough. Mom is okay, as long as you and Mason have a good life. Amelia, from now on, Mason is in your hands..."
Olivia Wilson must have said this last sentence countless times.
After hanging up the phone, Amelia Clarke was in a daze, with the sound of her mother's cough echoing in her ears.
It's gotten worse again.
"Why are you spacing out again?" Viola Harris also ended her call and crawled over to lean next to Amelia Clarke, "Boss Moreland isn't home, can I stay over tonight? I can sleep on the sofa or even on the floor if that's okay."
Amelia Clarke: "..."
"My grandmother's health has improved a lot. She can get out of bed and walk now, and she can eat by herself..."
"I'm going to take a shower first and then come to sleep with you."
