"Stephanie, please listen; I do not want to cause trouble for your family. If you believe that I was the reason, I understand what you mean, but I also have the right to speak about your brother in the same way that you have spoken about me. But I won't; instead of accusing me of being responsible for your brother's metamorphosis, go ask him what happened. Let him explain the causes for his sorrow, and I will do the same. One piece of advice: if you want to ask me a question, do not stand in front of my car or anyone else's since you never know where you will wind up. You never know what mood the driver is in at the time, so be cautious because it may land you in the hospital," Sydney warned as she drove away from the building in her car.

She had sobbed a thousand times, and it would be unfortunate if Anna saw her in such a state with swollen eyes.
