Gabriel and Alfred were arguing when Andrea arrived. Stationed outside the hospital suite were four men of Gao Rou and six men of from the Davies'.

"Good afternoon Ms. Davies. It has been a while." Andrea looked up to find Harry Cross, her foster father's long and trusted wingman.

She responded with a smile and greeted back, "long time no see, Uncle Harry. I go by my real name now. It's Andrea Li."

Seeing the sorry expression on Harry's face, she turned to the door wanting to avoid any further conversation about the past. She had already turned the knob when she heard voices inside the room.

"Dad, were you aware of mom's doing?"

"I had a feeling, but I never looked into it further… I was afraid, but I know now I was wrong." Alfred's voice became frail as he said this, then added, "Son, am I wrong? Am I wrong to love your mother this much?"
