Cheyenne's heart was aching, and she couldn't bring herself to say the rest.
She had already been on guard against Karen. Despite knowing that she had done something unforgivable, Karen's crocodile tears and elaborate lies, coupled with their familial ties, had made Cheyenne believe that she had really repented and wanted to be a good mother again.
Thus, Cheyenne had trusted Karen so much that she had handed Amelia to her without hesitation. She had never thought that her mother would actually harm her daughter!
If Lucas hadn't been aware of this and hadn't prepared people to be on standby to rescue Amelia, Cheyenne wouldn't have dared to imagine what plight Amelia would be in now.
The thought of her tender and soft daughter getting hurt, abused, or even killed because of this made Cheyenne's heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe.
