At that time, I didn't understand what Troy wanted me to do.

Looking at Alice sitting on the bench, wearing a pretty dress, and eating ice cream, I suddenly figured it out.

Alice didn't need to do chores or be busy all the time. She only had to be beautiful all the time!

I looked down at my knee, which was bleeding non-stop.

I felt a surge of sudden discomfort in my heart.

But the next second, Kate saw me. She screamed at me sharply, treating me as if I were a maid.

"Dora! What are you doing standing there? Come over here! Do you want to see me in pain?"

"Mrs. Malone..."

...

Before I finished greeting Kate, she stuffed her ID card and medicare card into my hands.

"Stop dawdling. Go register it for me. The pain in my feet is about to kill me!"

She sounded impatient. She kept rolling her eyes while speaking.

It seemed like she found me an eyesore.

I was a bit at a loss, looking at Alice.

But I found that she was smiling at the pendant she had given me, which was hanging around my neck.

She smiled so strangely.

Before I had a chance to take a closer look, Kate kicked me with her other uninjured leg.

"Why aren't you going yet? Are you trying to slack off?"
