36 Guilt Over Responsibility

She tried to reassess what George had said and realized its all true.

Then he went to the kitchen and checked if what Albrecht had been preparing.

" Hmm, what are you lookin'?

" Nothing. I just wanted to assist him for lunch.

"Better. You're just in time. I'm also a little busy in preparing the red peas for dinner. Do you know that I'll go to Kabang tonight? A priest will officiate for a thanksgiving and George is supposed to be there. Anyway, he could not really attend to it, he's still incapable to move his thigh."
