"Good for the kids, but what about pregnant women, huh? Didn't you see the thick layer of grease floating on top? It makesnauseous just looking at it. How am I supposed to drink that?" Beverley took a deep breath to calm herself. "So, what do you want?" "How can you be so clueless? Do I really have to spell it out for you? Can't you just skim off the grease on top?

She complied with Millie's request, spending a good half hour skimming the grease off the stew, only for Millie to barely touch it. Beverley was so frustrated, she nearly fainted... Meanwhile, the Sherwood family was in turmoil, but Roseanne's life was serene.

Mid-June, she visited Madeleine again.

The garden was easy to maintain, mostly requiring watering and weeding. Her main concern was checking on the professor's leg.

"You should've gone into medicine; you'd outshine the medical students with your quick learning and skill!" After examining Madeleine's previously swollen leg and finding it much improved, Roseanne was relieved. "Alright, I'll take your suggestion seriously and consider it," Roseanne joked.
