The next morning. Gabe woke up to find himself sleeping on a mat. The first thing he remembered was his aunt. He rushed into her room. To his relief, she was on the bed, sleeping. He checked her pulse, and she was alive. Gabe then remembered about the ring. He looked at his hand, but it was gone. He called for Systa, but she didn’t respond. No matter how many times she called her name, there was no response. The ring was nowhere to be seen. He checked his pockets, and the hall and the kitchen. Everywhere. “Don’t tell me… that bastard stole my ring,” Gabe’s heart never beat so fast before. This feeling was a profound mixture of anger and fear, something he was very much familiar with. Anger for what Bart had done to him, and fear for the fact that he needed to face someone like Bart to get his ring back. “My punch didn’t even show any affect on him. How can I win against him? I don’t even have a ring…” Just then, he remembered how Bart treated his aunt, and the fear was replaced

After cleaning the lawn, hall, and then learning to wash all the clothes using the washing machine with William’s help, and ironing the clothes, Gabe was finally able to get a break. As he was exiting the house through the back door, Carrie gave him a box that had the leftover breakfast in it. It was a cream of wheat, which generally had nuts, spices, curry leaves, ghee, and more. However, in what was given to Gabe, there weren’t any nuts because they were all eaten by Carrie before she gave him the remaining food. As she gave him the box she said, “Rest until afternoon and then come at two o’clock so you can wash the dishes.” “Yes, ma’am, but…” Gabe hesitantly asked, “what about the payment? Is it daily? Or weekly?” “We’re feeding you, aren’t we?” Carrie replied, “So why are you worried about the payment? We’ll give it to you in time.” “Yes, thank you,” Gabe then went home and gave most of the food to his aunt, and she loved the taste and even remembered the last time she made th

At night. Everyone except Mia had gathered at the dining table, and Gabe was serving them food. He couldn’t help but keep glancing at the ring on Bart’s hand again and again. Bart also realized that Gabe was looking, and he loved the suffering in Gabe’s face. William was making loud sounds while eating the lamb curry. He kept sucking the contents out of the bone and even tried to shove the tip of his tongue in an attempt to fetch the matter inside the bone. Draco was playing on the mobile more than he put food in his mouth. Gabe didn’t mind serving anyone, but when Bart snapped his fingers and told him to come, he didn’t feel like listening to him. He didn’t move. “Can’t you hear my son calling?” Bertha coldly looked at Gabe. “Yes, ma’am. I momentarily got lost in thought,” Gabe said and went to Bart and put curry on his plate. Snickering, Bart said, “That’s enough. Go upstairs and tell Mia to come. She likes lamb curry, so she should eat it while it’s hot.” Gabe used that opp

Out of the money Mia had given Gabe, he gave 100 dollars to Monroe, one of the guys he owed, thereby turning him back into his friend. Monroe owned a grocery store. Gabe used to work there in the past, but he got fired because the debtors kept coming to the store and causing a scene, and Gabe’s friend couldn’t just take it.But right now, Monroe allowed Gabe to buy things from the store. This was the least bit of mercy Monroe could show, and Gabe appreciated it.Out of the remaining 100 dollars, Gabe bought food items from onions and cucumbers to other things that wouldn’t put stress on his aunt’s body. He didn’t buy any spices or refined products, because they would negatively affect his aunt’s health.He came home and went to the rooftop to get eggs, but to his shock, both the hens and the rooster were gone. All he could see were feathers.All three of them were the ones he raised, so he instantly felt bad for them. His heart ached. “Did a hawk come by? No, if it’s a bird, only one
