Chapter 42

"What am I going to do now?" I cried when Gwyneth told me all my things were burnt in the fire. "Where am I going to go from here? What'd I tell the landlord? he'd probably make me pay for his properties." I winced. It seems like life itself hates me, I've been through hell since the day I was born. Never a day have I been in peace, well, I was for some time. I curled myself on the bed. My body ached, and my head ached. I've been crying for the past hour, and no matter how I tried to keep myself from crying, I couldn't stop myself. The situation was overwhelming. "Tessa, will you just stop crying? You've been like that for the past one hour and about the house. A solution will surely come up later, come, you've to take a bath." She said grabbing my hand and trying to pull me out of the bed. She successfully pulled me out of the bed to the bathroom, instructed me what to do and told me there'd be a cloth waiting on the bed for me. I managed to whisper a thank you. She walked out.
