Sheila immediately said, "Might as well. If you tag along, there won't be enough seats in the car."
Seemed everyone was happy that I was not going. In fact, I was the happiest. They'd regret it soon.
In my previous life, I had given my all to them. Most of the money I made was used to subsidize my family, even the down payment on Henry's wedding house.
And what did I get? When I was dying, they walked away.
I'd rather not have such a family!
It'd take at least two hours to drive from my family's place to the seaside. They were already on the way.
I cooked myself some spaghetti. After eating, I lay on the bed and slept soundly.
When I woke up, I found that there were several missed calls from my parents.
I called Mom. "What's up, Mom?"
"What are you doing? I called you countless times!"
She shouted so loudly. I quickly took the phone away.
"I was sleeping. I didn't hear you calling."
"Jimmy was swept away by the waves! How could you still be sleeping?"
I pretended to be surprised. "What? Jimmy was swept away by the waves? How? What about you guys? Are you OK?"
Mom said in a broken voice, "Yeah. We're OK. But Jimmy is missing! What should we do, Rhea? Think of something!"
