‘As for Teresa’s child… Well, he’s my nephew, and I’m his aunt. Helping out isn’t a big deal, Jennifer thought.

The person on the other end paused briefly then asked, “Is it about your sister–the one a year younger than you?”

“Yeah, that’s right,” Jennifer downed another drink.

“Have you reconnected with her yet?” the person asked.

“Not yet. I’m worried I’ll scare her away,” Jennifer chuckled bitterly, but a small flicker of hope appeared in her heart.

Meanwhile, Teresa had settled into Rosary Estates. But, now that Sherry would no

longer be returning there, it would be just her and Michael.

Sherry reached out to Teresa with sad news–Christian’s father had passed away after battling advanced–stage cancer. Sherry and Christian had cared for him in his final days, but despite their efforts, they were powerless against fate.

Teresa sighed and murmured, “How could this happen? Not to mention, right before New Year’s Day.”

What was supposed to be a joyful day would now be marked by grief, and the Dunn family would be missing from this year’s festivities.

“Christianis really struggling, and I need to stay with him,” Sherry said. “I’ll only come back to Nareigh after the new year at the earliest.”

But Evelyn kept rambling on. “I failed Hannah… I failed her more than anyone else.

“At least I did something for you. I raised you until you got married, but Hannah… She fell off the cliff so young. She probably hates me and thinks I didn’t do enough for her. I‘ ve sinned against her…”

Teresa shouted, “Enough! Just go to bed! Hannah’s gone! What’s the point of going on like this? If you feel guilty, do something good for your daughter now.” With that, she hung up abruptly.

Teresa was still fighting off a cold; and, after an exhausting move, she felt like she was running on empty. Evelyn’s drunken calls only added to the strain. ‘How does she still drink so much at her age? And she reached out with that nonsense.
