Beatrice stormed off in a huff, leaving Agnes lying in bed, feeling miserable and clueless about what to do next.

However, to her surprise, it was Beatrice standing there. Beatrice appeared to be in high spirits, a big grin plastered on her face as she said, “Agnes, let’s go to the dining room for dinner. My mom cooked today, and she whipped up all your favorite dishes.”
