142 Encourage her

"Oh my! I am so sorry. I didn't know you were going through a rough situation," Shi Lian expresses feeling sorry for her. 

Evelyn appears to be really shocked by all that she just got to know. She had no idea about her mother's illness or does she know she was internally struggling. If she had known, she wouldn't say such harsh things to her face. 

Shi Lian tries to soothe her by gently rubbing her back. "It's going to be okay, Eve. You are the bravest woman I have known and I know you will handle it well."

Evelyn thinks she is weak. She got nothing except to just chill and hang out. What does she even have? She isn't responsible like Shi Lian. She feels scared when responsibility comes to her and her mind just goes numb. 

"How is she now?" Shi Lian asks, her face etch with worry. 

Evelyn shakes her head. "She is sleeping. The doctor said she is out of danger. She is fine, right?" she says, fear getting the best of her.
