Chapter 491 - Need A Friend (2/2)

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Anya sitting back by the window and looking outside.

”It's raining outside and it's cold. Don't sit by the window for too long, you will catch a cold,” Tara pulled Anya from the place. ”Do you want to take a shower? I will prepare the warm bath for you,”

”No, I can do it myself,” Anya answered quietly.

Tara used the time when Anya was taking a shower to text Nico.

Tara: ”Anya can only eat two spoons of rice and half a small bowl of soup. Tell your family to make a lighter soup for tomorrow's meal. It was difficult for her to swallow it because it was too oily.”

Nico: ”Thank you.”

Tara considered for a moment and then decided to tell Nico.

Tara: ”I am accompanying Anya to the hospital tonight. She said she wanted to take a shower at this time, but I heard a cry from inside. What should I do?”

Nico: ”I don't know either. Better to just pretend you're stupid, you're good at it. Right now, she doesn't need advice. Auntie just needs a friend.”

Tara snorted as she read it.

Tara: ”You idiot!”

Nico smiled when he got Tara's reply.

Nico: ”Take good care of aunt. If there's anything I can do, just say it.”

Tara tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she answered.

Tara: ”I want fireflies.”

After saying that, she got no more reply from Nico. She didn't know if Nico didn't see the message, or had fallen asleep.

Forty minutes later, Anya still hadn't come out of the bathroom. Tara put her ear to the door, she couldn't hear the sound of crying or the sound of water.

She knocked softly on the door. ”Anya, have you finished taking a shower? I want to pee.”

Anya didn't answer. Tara pretended to be annoyed and knocked on the door louder.

Finally, the bathroom door opened. Anya's eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. ”Come in,”

Tara went into the bathroom and saw that it was completely dry. She pretended to squeeze the flush and came out of the bathroom.

This time Anya sat on her bed, staring out at the same window, like a soulless doll.

Tara felt a little panicking. She felt a bad feeling when she saw Anya continuously staring out the window.

”What's outside the window? Why do you keep looking over there?” Tara asked.

”I heard, once a person dies, the soul doesn't go away immediately. I was wondering if I could see my child…” Anya muttered.

Tara felt the hair on her neck rise. It turned out that Anya didn't want to kill herself or anything. She just wanted to see her child.

”Anya, your child has gone to heaven. He or she is not outside the window,” Tara tried to comfort her as she stroked her hand.

”All of this is my fault. I can't protect my child,” Anya said, tears seemed to escape the corners of her eyes, flowing smoothly down her cheeks.

”Don't cry...” Tara hugged her best friend and patted her on the back, as if she was comforting a child.

”Tara, my heart hurts a lot. I don't know what to do!” Anya's hand gripped her chest, hoping that this grip could reduce the pain in her heart.
