Nora uttered an ‘okay’.

Then, she asked, "Is that it?"

Tanya paused and then quietly added, "And! Your! Elder! Brother! Too!"

She seemed to be gnashing her teeth in fury with every word she said, which went to show just how angry and resentful she was.

Did she say ‘elder brother’, though? Nora didn't realize what she was saying for a while there.

She asked, "Which brother?"

"...How many elder brothers do you have?!"

Tanya practically roared the question.

Nora answered seriously, "If you try counting, there are six boys in the Smiths, so I have five older brothers and one younger brother.You're talking about...Joel?"

"Yes it"

Nora was puzzled.

"Didn't he go over to pick up Pete for me? How did he end up staying there instead?"

The woman on the other end suppressed her anger and said, "You have half an hour.If you don't come over in time, then this friendship is over!! Beep...beep...beep..."

Nora glanced at the phone in horror and raised her eyebrows.

Then, she slowly brushed her teeth and washed up.

After she was done, she finally went out.

As soon as she went downstairs, Lucy saw her and said excitedly, "You're finally awake, Ms.Nora!"

"What's the matter?" asked Nora.

Lucy replied, "Your cousin is here!!"

Nora was surprised to hear that.

She looked around and asked, "Where is she?"

Lucy replied "...Because you didn't wake up, she has left again.She said that she'll come over and visit you again either today or tomorrow”

It was the next morning, so Lisa had already left a long time ago.

She nodded.

"Okay'' She then sent a text message to Lisa and asked her to come over in the evening.

Lisa, however, didn't agree right away.

Instead, she asked: “Um, will Louis be there tonight?’’
