| used to take orders from Remy. They took it for granted that the sister should help the brother.
Now, it was Laura's turn. She couldn't believe her ears.
"Hurry, Mom. My classmate is waiting.” Remy got impatient.
Unwillingly, Laura did as Remy said.

Laura gazed at the card for a long while as if she were trying to bore it with her eyes.
