Mrs. Miller didn't answer Merry's question, she only gave her a knowing look. She infact didn't speak for a whole minute. The silence was deafening for Merry.
After the whole minute, it looked like that much of time was enough for Mrs. Miller to straighten out her thoughts.
"Don't lie to me. If you remember anything else, you need to tell me."
"I'm telling you, I remember nothing else."
"Okay, fine. This time around I'll take your word for it. But if I find that you are trying to deceive me, the consequences will be dire."
Merry didn't think that the conversation would take a sudden change in direction. It was becoming more like an interrogation. She was flustered for a second. Mrs. Miller had never spoken to her like that.
Before Merry could speak anything, Mrs. Miller spoke again,"Have you felt anything different in your body these days?"
"Like what?" Merry asked in confusion.
