Even though he followed Becca's advice, he almost couldn't bear to see the screen lit up, showing Drake's name on it. He knew Drake was looking for him. And he also knew that it was better this way. But, on the one hand, he wanted to pick up the call.
He undone his intention when he recalled how painful it was to be a choice. How painful it was that they only wanted their child to be taken. So, how was his life after that? Drake hadn't even said anything.
Maybe this is the karma he has to get for his past actions. It's also possible that it hurts twice as much as it should.
Restless and also frantic, that's how Sheila felt. Even though his body was in Becca's mansion, his heart and brain seemed to be in sync to keep telling Drake the truth. But he had worked his way up this far. Moreover, he himself told Tommy and Becca that Drake should not let his resignation be known.
