"You stopped again. Go on, keep working," Sara said but Nisha pointed towards Jemma.
Sara turned her gaze towards Jemma, swiftly approaching her and taking her hands in hers. "Why did you come here? Come with me... come..."
Leading Jemma to the dining room, Sara pulled out a chair for her to sit on.
"Sit here," Sara instructed Jemma, then called out to Nisha, "Nisha, bring the fruits and breakfast for Jemma."
Nisha promptly brought everything and arranged it on the table. Sara noticed a missing glass and scolded Nisha, "Why didn't you bring a glass?

Sara nodded thoughtfully, "Everyone makes mistakes, Jimmy. What matters most is how we handle those mistakes. Your dad, whenever he made a mistake, he always apologized and tried to fix it."Noah looked troubled, "But what if the mistake is so big that it really hurts someone?

After dinner, Jemma lay on her bed. Noah came into her room carrying a glass of milk. Upon seeing him, Jemma sat up and looked down. Noah put the glass on the desk next to the bed and sat beside her. He took a deep breath and asked, "Have you avoided me long enough? Can we chat now?" Jemma remained silent. Noah said in his low voice, "I tried calling you today, but you didn't pick up. You didn't mention your decision to work instead of continuing your studies. What's going on in your head, Jemma? You can't sacrifice your future just because of a mistake we made," Noah expressed.
