Chapter 278

Heavy rain pattered on the window. Mable got out of bed to close the window. All of a sudden, she saw someone standing in the garden downstairs. She rubbed her eyes and saw that it was Blair, who should be lying in bed. ‘When did he wake up? ‘Why is he standing in the rain?’ Amos stood not far from Blair with an umbrella. He wanted to shield Blair from the rain but was pushed away with force. “Get lost!” Blair sounded like a trapped beast roaring. He stood in the rain and clenched his fists. The gauze around the backs of his hands was wet from the rain, and blood was seeping through. “Boom!” Thunder roared. Mable quickly ran downstairs and into the rain without an umbrella. “Ms. Jefferson!” Amos wanted to hand her the umbrella, but she did not take it and ran straight to Blair. Blair suddenly plopped to the ground on his knees and yelled at the sky, “Ah!” Mable stopped and stood behind him without a sound. For some reason, he looked very sad at the moment.
