Adele remained silent. She displayed an indifference to the world around her and steadfastly fixed her gaze on Ariana without saying anything.
Judy sensed that something might be wrong with Adele, evoking pity and concern for the young girl. Choosing to keep her thoughts to herself, she quietly registered her observations about Adele in her heart.
Throughout the day, the group stayed in Ariana’s hospital room. Come evening, Rodney took Melon away while Shawn left with Adele.
