บท 69: Chapter 69

Amidst her conflicting mood, she also blamed herself for being weak, "Why are you so weak, Kate? How could you let your own sister trample all over your dignity like this? How long will  you tolerate her?"

Kate realized that Erin's greediness knew no bounds and nothing could satiate it. She continued to  demand for more, using their mother's life as a threat that she would constantly hold over Kate's head. The only thing that Kate could think of that would combat Erin's cruelty was for Kate to call their mother herself.

Kate quickly wiped her tears away. She gathered her courage and picked up her phone. She searched for her mother's contact information and gave her a call.

Each time she heard a beep on the phone, her heartbeat would accelerate and beat harder like a drum to the point that she could actually hear her own heartbeat. 

After a few beeps, the line was finally connected, and Kate almost jumped out of fright when she heard her mother's voice.
