By the time Deanna emerged from the bathroom, the ginger soup was ready.
“I’m going upstairs to rest,” Deanna announced, her pale face still reflecting the discomfort of her
cramps.
“Go ahead,” Debora replied.
“I’LL bring her the ginger soup,” Rosalynn chimed in as she exited the kitchen with the bowl in hand.
“Alright.” Debora nodded, her eyes filled with approval.
She believed her grandson’s wife should not only be beautiful but also skilled in the culinary arts.

she snapped, “What are you doing here?”
Rosalynn handed her the bowl and replied, “Drink the ginger soup before going to bed.”
Catching a whiff of the distinct aroma of ginger soup, Deanna wrinkled her nose. “I don’t want to drink
it. I tried it once before, and it tasted awful.”
Her mother had prepared it for her. The unpleasant taste had left a lasting impression, making her
reluctant to consume it again.
Rosalynn set the ginger soup aside and retrieved her phone, opting to snap some pictures of Deanna
instead.
Deanna was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed, “Hey, why are you taking pictures of me?”
Rosalynn selected a photo and held the phone up for Deanna to see.
“Take a look at yourself. Do you think you look terrible?”
Deanna gazed at her image in the photo. Her disheveled hair and ghostly pale complexion stared back
at her. She furrowed her brows and asked, “Hey, can you actually take decent photos? I look awful!”
Rosalynn grinned, saying, “This is the real you now. It’s common for women to feel low on energy,
which can lead to various issues like hormonal imbalances, headaches, dizziness, and skin problems.

Hearing this, Deanna unconsciously touched her face. For a moment, she found Rosalynn‘’s words
reasonable. However, she quickly realized that Rosalynn was indirectly calling her ugly.
“I Look fine! You’re the ugly one!”
Rosalynn remained unfazed and purposely provoked her. “Good advice can be hard to hear, huh? Are
you too scared to drink it? I didn’t expect someone as sophisticated as you to be such a coward. Are
you frightened by a simple bowl of ginger soup?”
“What? You’re the coward!” Deanna retorted, her irritation evident.
Nonetheless, she glanced at Rosalynn, picked up the bowl, and began to drink.
“Oh, it’s so spicy and awful!” Deanna exclaimed, her face contorting midway through the sip.
