Serenity said gently, “Your mother must be carrying a lot of pressure, Winnie. When you have time, spend more time with her. You’re the only person she can truly rely on.”
Winnie nodded.
She was usually consumed by work and hadn’t been with her mother much in a long time.
Sometimes, even though they lived under the same roof, mother and daughter barely saw each other.
Winnie left early and came home late.
When she left, her mother was still asleep.
When she returned, her mother was already asleep.
