Chương 139: I'll Take You Away With Me

[Margaret's Perspective]

Elizabeth saw what I did just now.

I poured a glass of water silently and handed it to her. Elizabeth took it and drank it all in one go. I filled another glass for her. She waved at me to indicate that she didn't need it.

I lowered my head and took a sip to calm myself down. Then I turned around and took new eggs out of the fridge.

These were the last two. I couldn't screw up again.

Elizabeth was already in shock. I couldn't let her think that I was the same. One of us had to be able to remain calm. I could show my uneasiness to Donald, but I had to take on the responsibility of an older sister with Elizabeth.

"What are you doing?" came Elizabeth's weak voice.

"Making breakfast."

"Stop cooking. I don't want to eat."

I paused in the kitchen, not listening to her. I needed an omelet to keep myself calm.

"Margaret, will you talk to me? I'm scared."
