When Tim heard that Alyssa wasn't feeling well, Tim immediately became very concerned: "Why is she suddenly sick? Is it serious? I gotta go check on her."
Ryder replied, "No worries, she's already resting."
Tim decided not to disturb Alyssa, but he was still on pins and needles.
Agnes was also feeling low, suspecting that Alyssa's discomfort was due to her breaking Alyssa's beloved orchid.
Tim said, "Alright, let's eat dinner first."
After dinner, Agnes retreated to her room, weighed down by thoughts all night.
In the end, she couldn't help but tell Jared, "You go check on Alyssa. I broke her orchid today, I'm worried she's mad at me."
Jared replied, "She's not the type to hold a grudge."
Nevertheless, he went to Alyssa's room. Agnes initially didn't want to, but felt like she should apologize properly and also headed to Alyssa's room.
But the room was locked, and no one answered after she knocked a few times.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw two figures on the terrace, it was Jared and Alyssa.
Agnes went over and found Alyssa tending to her plants.
Jared was holding a pot of flowers, saying, "Alyssa, if you'd like, I can buy you a few more. Agnes didn't mean to break your orchid."
Alyssa replied, "I know. I don't blame her."
But when Jared asked why she didn't eat and claimed to be unwell, Alyssa suddenly turned serious: "Jared, if I didn't like Agnes, would you leave her?"
Jared's face turned serious at her words.
He asked calmly, "But you used to like Agnes a lot. What happened?"
Alyssa's current attitude towards her was also completely different from before.
What was going on?
After a while, Agnes felt something on her ankle.
Looking down, she found Oscar licking her foot.
Agnes squatted down, hugging Oscar's head, her heart full of unspoken bitterness, "Oscar, can you tell me why? Why? Why?"
Suddenly, a chuckle came from afar.
Looking up, Agnes saw Ryder slowly walking over.
"Agnes, are you acting in a soap opera now?"
