Chapter 31 Have You Washed Your Hands?
"Mm." Koa Jackson replied indifferently.
"Koa’s back." Lydia Williams greeted with a smile, glancing awkwardly at Marianne Jackson, and explained, "Marianne, this girl, talks without thinking. Don’t take it to heart."
"I won’t."
"But she really did buy two," Marianne Jackson said, dissatisfied, with her eyes wide open, "Brother Koa, I wasn’t lying. Mia Ginger bought two hats, one for men and one for women."
"You silly girl," Lydia Williams tugged at her, giving her a look, "Maybe they’re for your brother."
"But Sister Lilian said she has a boyfriend who loves wearing hats." Marianne retorted seriously.
"I never said boyfriend," Lilian Jackson shot her a chiding look, "I just happened to see them catching a cab at the hospital entrance; they might just be classmates."
"What would classmates be doing at the hospital together?!" Marianne frowned tightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Could it be an accidental pregnancy, with the boyfriend accompanying her for an abortion?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lydia Williams slapped her gently, "You child are getting more and more reckless. She has a marriage contract with your brother, how could she do such a thing?!"
"Why not?" Marianne remained nonchalant, "I heard she grew up in the inner city village, where all kinds of people live. Isn’t she quite pretty, already twenty, how could she not have a boyfriend! Sister Lilian, don’t you agree?"
