"Oh, my God! What happened to you, Laura?" Her mother screamed.

Her father was not left out. He got up weakly and asked her, "Who did this to you?"

At that point, she began to weep profusely and sobbed, "They hate me. Just because I greeted a guest and he did this to me."

Presently, she was careful not to say that Ann was getting married and wished to poach her husband away.

"You need to see a doctor. This is too much," her father stated.

"Will they permit her to use the company clinic? I propose that we get drugs from the mall," her mother pointed out.

Now, the dice were cast. Her proposal was cogent but she had no funds. They focused on Laura for her opinion.

"Yes, Mom. You can take my card. We also need food for the family," she said, bringing her card out of her purse and handing it over to her.

We shall be on our way," George appreciated him."It is my pleasure, Major," he responded and they left."This is serious. Where would he have gone?
