After Emily's encounter with Angelo a few days ago at the hospital, Emily was scared of visiting her son for fear that Angelo might have someone follow her. So, for the next few days, she avoided the hospital and only spoke to her son via phone calls.
With her phone pressed against her ear, Emily spoke to her mother, who once again continued to complain about her lack of visits to her son.
"Mother, please, I am trying my best here." Emily tried explaining what it felt like for the hundredth time, but nothing she said had any effect on her mother.
"What kind of boss does not allow his employees a break?" her mother complained. For the past few months, Emily had kept up the lie that she was working as a personal assistant for Angelo, rather than revealing to her that he was his wife.
