CHAPTER 58

There was no heating in the back kitchen, and the water in the taps was even cold and biting.

They didn't even have dish towels, and they washed the dishes entirely by hand.

The greasy vegetable leaves stuck to their hands and the two were dry heaving.

Their hands were already purple with cold and they were shivering with cold.

What was more frightening to them than the cold was their inner despair.

Knowing that the situation was already tense, neither of them could think of a way to cope with everything.

Leila had to break down at the mere thought that she was going to be locked up until the day before the wedding.

The thought that she might lose her father altogether broke her even more.

The same was true for Sara.

She didn't know what she should do if Allen insisted on getting a divorce next.

She was really scared of divorce.

She didn't know how she should go on alone in the future in case of a divorce.
