Chapter 303
Mai drove her car around downtown Los Angeles. She drove in silence. She didn’t even dare to turn on the radio because her boss was in a terrible mood.
Mai glanced at Kate at least once every few minutes to see if her mood had improved, and she was ready to tell what happened in that mental hospital and how the hell she ended up in that place.
’Surely, Mrs. Woods has no mental issues, right?’ Mai guessed. ’Wait, I heard pregnant women’s hormones could make them hysterical. Is that true? Maybe baby blues?’
’Ah, what am I saying? The baby hasn’t been born yet. How could she get baby blues or postpartum depression?’
Mai thought that Kate went with Henry to the mental hospital because they had been so sticky these days.
But she didn’t see Mr. Grant anywhere, so she guessed Mrs. Woods must’ve gone to that mental hospital alone.
Unable to contain the silence much longer, Mai finally opened her mouth and asked, "Um... Ma’am, are you alright?"
"No," Kate replied curtly but didn’t try to explain more, and Mai was too scared to ask, afraid that she might infuriate Mrs. Woods even more with her questions.
Kate glanced at Mai, who was tense because of her curt response. She chuckled and said, "Sorry for ruining the atmosphere, Mai. Relax, I’m not mad at you."
"I—It’s okay, Ma’am. I know you’re not mad at me, but I just don’t want to make you feel even worse," Mai replied. "Especially since I don’t know what happened to you in that mental hospital and why you were there in the first place."
Kate sighed.
