160 Embellishing The Story

Roxanne asked, "What's going on, Mr. Smith? Doesn't she have to work?"

Henry stood in front of the camera to the live-stream. With a frown and a plaintive look on his face, he replied, "No, she's unemployed. When she was with us, she mooched off her aunt and me. I heard that she also hasn't been working ever since the Andersons took her back with them. It's already ten in the morning, yet she's still asleep. Neither does she take care of her child, but leaves them to survive on their own instead. Sigh!"

Melissa said, "Nora sleeps in because she's in poor health! She lost a lot of blood during labor back then, so she doesn't have much energy and has to sleep more than what ordinary people do! Also, ever since she moved to the Andersons, Nora has never asked us for living expenses! She has a source of income!"
