Anna Stark walked away and Daniel's mother came in and watched John Peter warily, "Did you bully her again? She was studying here. Why did she leave when you came?"
John Peter, "…"
He looked at his grandmother, "why I bully her? She was bullying me."
"Why does she bully you? Even if she does, you have to bear it. You are well aware of your uncle's condition. If he gets angry and left us, you will stay answerable to me." In the end, grandma's tone was quite sad.
After Daniel Taylor's accident, the family was not in a good mood. As compared with his uncle's loss, he also lost Anna Stark. But everyone thought that he didn't suffer anything.
John Peter looked at her grandmother's face and said nothing.
At night, Daniel Taylor and Jack Smith came back. When he came back, everyone was in the dining hall and eating. Anna Stark was not there.
"Where is Anna?" he asked.
"She seemed to have a quarrel with John," Daniel's mother said, "I asked her to have dinner, but she didn't come down."
Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter on the other side. "Why, are you making trouble with her again?"
"I didn't." John Peter explained, "I really didn't bully her. Don't blame me for anything."
Anna Stark didn't come down for dinner, but everyone was asking him.
John thought about this and felt really upset.
He always thought that Anna Stark had been manipulating him since she came here. For example, like now, she got angry even he didn't do anything to her.
She was just a very clever girl!
Depending on his family's favor, she could do whatever she wanted.
The more she will behave like this, the more difficult it will be for him to stay here. Now maybe he couldn't have a good life in this family.
Daniel Taylor did not blame John Peter, "I'll go to see her first."
Jack Smith pushed Daniel Taylor away. Daniel's mother saw him leaving without even eating. "Don't you eat?"
His legs were not okay, it was really hard for him to move around like this.
"Send it to the room."
Daniel Taylor was sent directly to his room by Jack Smith.
Anna Stark was lying on the bed. Her whole body was wet with sweat. She was tightly holding the pillow around her stomach to lessen the pain.
Jack Smith pushed Daniel Taylor's wheelchair inside the room.
Daniel Taylor moved his wheelchair near the bedside, looked at Anna Stark and asked, "Anna."
Anna Stark heard his voice, put down the pillow, sat up and looked at Daniel Taylor, "You are back."
"What's the matter?" Daniel Taylor looked at perspiration all over her body. Even her hair and forehead were wet. "Fever?"
"No… No. Anna Stark said, "It's just a little…"
"Do you want to see a doctor?" Everyone thought she didn't come down to eat because she quarreled with John Peter. No one knew that she was unwell.
Anna Stark noticed Daniel's serious appearance. She didn't know how to say, "I'm really OK, That is… "
It was her period's first day and she was in great agony and pain.
Her periods had always been very painful.
She remembered once in her periods she went outside for shopping, she walked for ten minutes, she almost collapsed and fainted on the side of the road.
In the afternoon, after she had come back to the room, her stomach was uncomfortable, she could not sleep and she was sweating all the time. Because of this, she didn't go down to eat.
She was a foodie, how could she skip her meal for the sake of John Peter?
"What is it?" Daniel Taylor looked at her. "How do I know what's wrong with you, if you don't tell me? Didn't I tell you that I need to see a doctor when I'm sick? Why are you unable to take care of yourself?"
