"I just thought it would be appropriate to come around now. How is she feeling?""Better, I must admit. Thanks so much for paying for her medications." Her aunt said, pointing at a couch for her to sit in."You don't look too happy. Is everything alright?" She asked."Noah came here to create a scene and Emma hasn't been out of the room since then. I think she is panicking at the moment.""Is it that bad?""Noah's bullying is the reason she fell ill in the first place. He knows clearly how much effect he has on her and he doesn't hesitate to prey on that. That useless sister of yours, Abigail, she didn't bother to call or text her mother.

Noah pretended not to notice the little flame of chaos that just rolled in and kept calm while scrolling through his phone."Why the fuck did the Venmo me two thousand dollars?" She bellowed standing in front of him.Sitting up, Noah took off his reading glasses. "That was too much for you right? I was thinking to lessen the amount, but then you are daddy's favorite girl after all and it's my duty to spoil you silly." He grinned at her."Cut the bullshit!" Abigail screamed, throwing her bag to the floor. "Don't you ever try to patronize me in such low manner again. What the hell do you think two thousand will do in my life? How can you be so selfish?
