I knocked her to the ground. She was chubby and strong, but she had been very weak these days, so she was no match for me at all.
My mom helped her up at once. "We're family. How could you get physical?
"Rhea, don't be mad at her. She's not stable given what happened to Jimmy and Henry."
My mom was sensible enough to know that I was the only one she could rely on now.
No matter what, Sheila wasn't related to her by blood. On the contrary, I was.
Now that I was her only relative left, of course, she had to lean on me.
Seeing that my mom took my side, Sheila sat on the ground and cried miserably.
"I'm so unlucky! Henry, Jimmy, come back! I can't live without you!"
My mom cried, too. "I'm sure they're alive. We never saw their bodies, right?"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and saw Lisa Steele, a good friend of mine.
"Rhea, where's Henry?"
"I told you on WhatsApp just now, didn't I? He and my dad got swept away by the typhoon."
Before Sheila and my mom came back, I was chatting with Lisa on WhatsApp, and I told her about what had happened to my family.
Lisa obviously didn't believe it. She ran inside and shouted, "Henry! Henry!"
