The sky was already bright. Sunlight was streaming straight through the window, so bright that it made her barely able to open her eyes.
But Yanis didn’t dare close her eyes again.
She was frightened.
She was afraid that she might see the scenes of her previous dreams and hear those who repeatedly taunted her in her ears as she closed them.
She slept through the night, but what happened last night still bothered her. It hadn’t made the sadness any better. It had become more and more depressed in her heart.
Yanis lay quietly for a while. Then she pulled back the quilt and got up.
She walked to the bathroom. When she passed in front of the mirror, she saw that she was dressed in the little white dress Zain had given her. She froze in place and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time.
After a while, she took it off.
She felt beautiful before when she got it, but found it ridiculous when she saw it again.
Yanis calmly took a bath, changed her clothes and then checked her balance.
Because he used up so much of his savings to open the store, he only had a few tens of thousands of dollars left.
Although it was not a large sum, to Yanis it did not seem small, but to Zain it could be a drop in the bucket.
It would be okay because it could be paid back little by little.
She would work hard to pay him back in the rest of the time.
After washing up, Yanis came out of the room.
-Did you get up?
-Yanis, are you awake? Come and have breakfast.
As soon as she left the room, the parents greeted Yanis for breakfast.
Yanis was in a bad mood, she had no appetite and did not want to eat too much. However, she didn’t want them to worry, so she approached them and sat down.
-Good morning, Dad, Mom.
-Good morning, Yanis. I bought you those sesame cakes you like so much. Have some.
-Yes, yes, and soy milk.
Mateo and Brisa were extremely enthusiastic with Yanis, who both had smiles on their faces without anyone mentioning what happened last night.
Yanis had a memory. Naturally, he remembered that last night he was crying with Brisa in his arms. When she thought about it, she felt she was too impulsive at the time.
How could she do such a thing? She made Brisa worry about her in vain, didn’t she?
But at that time, the emotions really couldn’t be controlled. She completely collapsed.
-Yanis, why are you stunned? Hurry up and eat.
-Okay.
Yanis recovered and then took a bite of the sesame cake. The one that was especially crunchy in everyday life had no fragrance at all, as if he was chewing on wax.
He put it down after taking a bite. Then he took another sip of the soy milk.
As soon as he drank it, his stomach began to turn over again.
Yanis abandoned the cup and ran to the bathroom, vomiting into the sink.
-Yanis!
-Yanis!
Seeing that, Mateo and Brisa dropped their chopsticks and hurried running to the bathroom.
-Emm…
Yanis vomited bending over and Brisa could only hopelessly step forward and caress his back, -What’s wrong? Is he too hungry?
-I’m fine … -after Yanis threw up the sour water, his face turned pale and he looked very weak with a cold sweat on his forehead due to his discomfort.
-You still say you’re okay with that? You make yourself some rice soup, okay? You’ll drink some and go to the hospital to the doctor, okay?
Yanis only felt that his stomach was very empty, because yesterday he didn’t eat anything. Then he ate cakes, which were all greasy. After going to bed one more night, he woke up eating those things again.
As a result, his stomach couldn’t take it so much that it turned over.
-Mom, I’m fine. I’m just too hungry. I’ll cure myself by eating something.
Brisa helped her out of the bathroom. Mateo looked angry and distressed. He knew the grown-up girl wouldn’t stay, but he really had nothing to say when he saw his daughter turn this way for emotional reasons.
-Take a break. She’ll cook you some rice soup. Better not go to the store today.
Yanis would have agreed. With remembering that he owed a large sum of money, he believed he needed to earn money every day. How could he not open it?
Thinking about it, he immediately shook his head and rejected Brisa’s proposal.
-There’s no need. The store will open as usual, but today it will be fine to open a little later. There’s usually no business in the morning anyway.
-Stubborn girl. Why don’t you listen to what I said? It’s all right. You can rest at home in the morning and let your father take you to the hospital later. I’ll open it for you.
-You don’t need to. I’m fine. I’m just hungry… I…
Having said that, Yanis felt a flip again in his stomach and then ran to the bathroom once more.
The parents looked at each other when they saw that scene.
-You’d better take the daughter to the hospital.
-She’s not willing, is she? Instead of exhorting her to go to the hospital, it’s better to cook something for her as soon as possible. Look at her throwing up… there won’t be anything in her stomach.
The sentence woke Brisa up. And she immediately nodded her head, -Yes. I’m going to make some rice soup.
After spending the morning tossing and turning, Yanis finally drank a bowl of rice soup. Finally, he felt his stomach warming up. He lay down and touched his stomach, his face still looking a little sick.
-Your mother went to the store. When she left, she told me to take you to the hospital if you were still not well. Yanis, how do you feel now? If you don’t get better, remember to tell me.
Hearing that, Yanis flashed Mateo a smile that was uglier than crying.
-Dad, I’m fine. Maybe it was yesterday that I ate something bad, so I felt uncomfortable today. I had the rice soup. I’ll be fine after I lie down for a while.
-Yanis,” Mateo did not leave, but sat down next to her. If you feel any discomfort, you should say so. It is not a good solution for you to be bored by yourself.
The father was worried about her because of what he interpreted last night.
Remembering it, Yanis continued smiling reluctantly, -Don’t worry. I’m fine. Even if something happened to me, nothing will happen in the future.
There was a hint of determination on her face when she said it.
Seeing her, Mateo knew that his daughter was hurt by love. As a father, he couldn’t give her as much help as a mother, so he could only reach out and rub his daughter’s head, whispering softly.
-Well. You sleep for a while. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. Remember that no matter what happens, mom and dad are always there for you.
Yanis closed her eyes, feeling them water again.
Soon, Mateo came out and Yanis opened her eyes again as she heard the door close.
At the Nelson Group.
In the office.
After Zain finished the morning’s work, he still had a meeting, but because of what happened last night, he asked Megan to postpone the video meeting until the next day.
Then he waited attentively for the girl’s arrival.
But at the usual time, there was no shadow of her in the company.
Zain frowned and glanced at the office door from time to time.
Was he late or something else?
