You can do this. Emily told herself after wiping the tears from her eyes. She had just come from the hospital to visit her son, and the way things looked, there was no amount of money that could help her get a new kidney as quickly as she wanted it. And what was worse was that she could not share her pain with Angelo because doing so would open a flood of questions directed at her.
She plastered a smile on her face, exited the car, and then walked into the mansion, where she paused. The sight before her was not what she had expected or what she had left that morning. Because standing by almost every window of a mansion were workers enforcing the burglar bars on each window.
Emily dropped her handbag on the floor. She was lost for words and did not know who she should be questioning, mainly because all the workers continued to walk past her without saying a word.
