As soon as the call connected, Emily Sterling's hysterical roar came through.
"..."
Chloe Simpson froze, realizing that with her mom acting like this, there could only be one conclusion.
She knew about her AIDS diagnosis.
"Mom, do you know about my illness?" Chloe cautiously asked.
"What do you think? How could you, my daughter, not tell me about such a huge thing? Where are you? Where are you now?"
"Telling me you're on a business trip, all lies, right? And that so-called Young Master of the Capital Circle, what exactly is going on between you and Young Master Johnson?"
"You really are something now, hiding everything from me. Even being sick and about to die, you're hiding it from me. Are you still my daughter? Ah!"
Emily Sterling was furious, still yelling on the other end of the line.
But deep down, she felt more heartbroken.
Especially knowing that Chloe contracted HIV from working in the hospital, she felt very guilty.
