Chapter 26: Prey
"Is that for me?" Keira asked excitedly when she saw one of their house helpers brought letters from the mailbox.
It was said that they would receive an official letter with the test results two days in advance before the results would be posted online.
She hurriedly got the letters and scanned each to see if one was addressed to her and her eyes widened.
"Yey! The result is out!" She screamed running to the kitchen to look for her mom.
"Mom! The result is here!" Keira blurted out.
Mrs. Chan’s eyebrows arched as she asked, "Why don’t you open it, instead of screaming all over the place?"
Keira pursed her lips and slowly handed the letter to her mom and said, "I’m nervous. Please, look at it first, Mom, and tell me what it says."
Mrs. Chan twisted her mouth and grabbed the letter. She opened and read it with a creased forehead. Then, she looked at Keira and said, "Dear, how about you go and study abroad? You said before that you would love to travel the world, right? Why not do that? Or pursue journalism..."
Keira looked sullen and asked, "What, Mom? Did I fail? But I’m confident about that exam, so don’t tell me I failed and that’s why you are like that?"
