Chapter 48

Someone Will Laugh at Me

The next morning, Mr. Thomas woke up. Sarah was sleeping, lying on Charles’s shoulder, while Charles was leaning against the back of a chair, sleeping as well. After hearing some noise, Sarah woke up and saw that Mr. Thomas was about to get up. She sat up straight right away and asked in surprise, “Dad, you’ve woken up? What do you want to do?” Sarah rushed over to help him.

Mr. Thomas said, “It doesn’t matter. I just want to sit up. I feel tired while I’m lying down. Why are you here now? Wasn’t last night your wedding night?”

Sarah supported his body and helped him lean back against the headboard, with a pillow behind his back. She replied, “Dad, Charles, and I stayed here to take care of you. How do you feel now?”

“Why did you stay here? Where is Emma? And Christina?” said Mr. Thomas, in a heavy tone. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the arrangement.
