Chapter 219

Carroll helped David, whose knees gave under him, as a thoughtful student did.  On his way to departure, David stopped at the door, looked back, and said, "I want to see your wedding invitation card with Susan within one week." "I know what to do." Each word caused Bob great determination.  After a slight sign, I got up to get in the car. However, my knees gave under me upon my standing up, so I fell into the arms of Rose. Everything around me began to spin, and the plump Rose became blurry.  Oh no! The aftereffects of the wine! I felt feeble all over my body, and my mind went blank.  It took Rose a lot of effort to get me into the car. Then, she said to Jason, sitting next to the driver, "There seems to be something wrong with Madam. Shall we take her to the hospital?" "Nothing's wrong. I'm fine!" I became excited at the thought of what had just happened. "Did you see that? Lily's face was livid." "Yes, I did. Please sit down. Don't move." Rose tied the seat belt for me in a flurry. T
