Angela hurriedly reached out with both hands to shake his. "That would be much appreciated." News of Zack being taken away by the police quickly spread online. Public opinion was divided, but most people criticized Angela for failing to guide him properly, blaming her for allowing such a terrible situation to happen. Angela sat on the couch in silence, staring at her tablet. She felt as if she were suffocating and a heavy cloud had settled over her.
"Have stea." Dexter, looking almost like a devoted housewife, walked over with an apron tied around his waist and handed her a cup of peppermint tea. He had brewed it himself.
"I don't feel like drinking anything." Closing her eyes, Angela leaned back against the couch. Recalling everything that had happened recently only made her feel utterly exhausted.

"Do you think he'll resentfor this?" Dexter raised an eyebrow. "You didn't do anything wrong. If he resents you for it, that's on him, not you." Angela was feeling a little disheartened. "He seems carefree, but deep down, he's very sensitive. With parents like his, it wasn't easy for him to finally feel like he could rely onas a sister. And now, I've heartlessly abandoned him.
