"Freen, I made your schedule free for the next two weeks. You'll be back after that?" Laura arranged the papers on the table without looking at Freen.

Freen was watching outside her window, looking at Becky's terrace.

"Freen! Are you listening?" Laura looked at her and walked toward her, rubbing her shoulder.

"Sorry! I'm spaced out."

"I pray to God this visit to the UK will bring you happiness." Before Laura could finish, someone knocked on Freen's door.

Rhea stood near the entrance. Freen smiled and motioned for Rhea to come in.

"Green! Are you busy today?" Rhea asked with her cute, innocent look.

"I'm always free for my Rhea! Do you need me to take you anywhere?" Freen asked

"No!" Rhea nodded her head .

"Hey! Do you think my friend as a driver? Why can't you ask your uncle to take you?" Laura turned to Rhea.

Upon hearing Laura's words, Rhea's face changed to one of sadness.

"Laura!" Freen shouted, raising her eyebrows.

"Hey, cutie! I was just playing with you. Sorry!" Laura smiled at Rhea.

Freen sensed something was wrong with Rhea. She asked Laura to bring ice cream from the kitchen. After Laura left, Freen picked up Rhea and sat on the bed.

"What happened today? Why do you look sad? Did someone scold you?" Freen looked at Rhea

Rhea hugged Freen tightly and started to cry.

"Rhea, stop crying! Please!" Freen wiped the tears from Rhea's face.

"Tell me! Why are you crying?" Freen asked

"I will miss you, Green?" Rhea asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Where am I going? I'm sitting right next to you."

Rhea nodded her head but started crying again.

"Rhea, stop crying! You're not cute when you cry," Freen said, pinching Rhea's cheek.

"Tell me! What happened?" Freen questioned Rhea.

"Richee said, 'You are not our family. Soon we will be going to Spain.' I don't want to go anywhere without you."

Laura overheard everything and walked toward Rhea.

"See! My friend will not leave you like that. You are her best friend. If your uncle takes you to Spain, we will come there too." Laura smiled

"Seriously?" Rhea looked at Freen with a smile.

"Promise!" Freen pinched her cheek playfully.

Rhea grabbed the ice cream from Laura and started to eat. Laura took Freen outside the room.

"Freen! I know you have a past relationship with Becky. I don't know what the connection is between you and Rhea, but she really depends on you." Laura looked at Rhea

Freen looked at Rhea and nodded.

"Do you notice something? When she speaks, she resembles Jennie. Just like Jennie always came to see you and made time to be with you, putting you first always," Laura smiled.

Freen was shocked by Laura's observation. She had never noticed that about Rhea.

"Do you think so, Laura?" Freen wanted to confirm again.

"Yes! Her way of talking and behavior made me remember Jennie. Even if Mom were here, she would say the same—childhood Jennie!"

Freen's expression changed upon hearing Laura's words.
