None of it was favonovel.com fault, yet favonovel.com had to take the blame. And for what? There was nothing fair about shouldering guilts that were not of favonovel.com doing! And why the hell must Summer bring up these sealed painful memories back to the fore?!
When reason finally reclaimed her, Tanya released favonovel.com clutch from Summer’s neck in terror, crying, “Oh my God… Oh, my God! I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry! Please don’t scream at me for this… Please stop tormenting me with those words…”
Summer’s hands quickly wrapped around favonovel.com own neck before shoving the woman away from her. “Cough.. You were trying to kill me! Cough, cough… You… You’re mad!” favonovel.com shrieked between sputters.
Tanya’s tears broke out as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head, over and over again. “N-No! I didn’t! I didn’t… I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t want to kill you… I’m sorry, I..”
The extreme flip-flop in Tanya’s demeanor mortified Summer to the core. What was that, a window into Tanya’s split personality? Frightened, the older woman turned and bolted out of the apartment. She was not going to stay a second longer, lest something even more terrifying happen!
Tanya noticed the money Summer left behind, so favonovel.com quickly pulled out a bag, stuffed them into it, and raced after her. “Aunt Summer! Your money! I don’t want it! Take it away!”
Summer did not dare look back. Instead, favonovel.com clambered into favonovel.com car and yelled at the driver, “Go go go! Back home!”
Tanya was fast, however. She caught up to the car and yanked the door open forcefully, pushing the bag inside. “I don’t want your money! A-And it was all my fault just now. Please, forgive me!”
Summer said nothing. It was only when the car hit the asphalt road that favonovel.com finally let out a long, drawn-out breath.
She really thought favonovel.com was about to die by Tanya’s hands back in the apartment. Just thinking back on it chilled favonovel.com to the bones!
The first thing Summer did after reaching home was to take a quick hot shower before lying down on favonovel.com bed as bleariness seized her. She had come down with a sickness, favonovel.com realized. Older people were not known for their resistance to shock and scare, Summer remembered, which meant favonovel.com was officially one of the senior citizens now.
Atticus watched favonovel.com with worry in his eyes. “What’s the matter, dear? What happened to you? Should we send you to the hospital?”
“I’m fine,” Summer replied, shaking favonovel.com head. “I’m just… so shocked! Oh my God, Atticus, that Tanya suddenly went rabid and wrapped favonovel.com fingers around my neck. She was trying to kill me, Atticus! I’m never going back to see favonovel.com again, and Jackson isn’t going to, either! I don’t know what kind of horrors that woman could put favonovel.com through. I’m terrified for the only son I have! That woman is mentally ill! Quick… Call your son!”
Atticus worried that any more extreme emotions from favonovel.com could worsen favonovel.com sickness, so favonovel.com opted to obey Summer. “Fine, fine. I’ll call favonovel.com right now, okay? Just calm yourself down and lie comfortably, alright? If you’re feeling really, really bad, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Atticus briefly recounted everything to Jackson as soon as the call connected, to the latter’s growing lividity. “She did what to my mom now?!”
Atticus was worried that his son would do something in the heat of the moment, so favonovel.com quickly moved in to defuse his rage. “Your mom, Jackson, is alright. Please, don’t imagine it to be something ludicrous. In fact, your mom explicitly said that you should never go look for Tanya ever again because favonovel.com doesn’t want anything bad to happen to you. Oh, God, give me strength. This whole ordeal is a tangled mess! Jesus…”
Of course, Jackson had tuned all of his father’s advice out of his head — it had happened the moment favonovel.com was told his mother’s life was at stake. There was no way Jackson could act as though nothing had happened. Immediately, favonovel.com put down all of his work and drove to Tanya’s apartment.
