"Catherine, are you okay?"
Maria came to Catherine and checked her carefully. She was finally relieved after making sure Catherine was okay.
Maria was worried sick that Catherine would get hurt.
Maybe she shouldn't involve Catherine. But she didn't expect that Tom would use his own daughter as a bet and lose her. He was worse than an animal.
Catherine said, "I'm okay."
"You give me such a fright."
Catherine whispered, "Sean will come in a minute. It's gonna be okay."
Maria wiped her tears and said, "Good. I just don't know what to do, so I called you. Linda is finally getting better. But she hasn't had a few good days before these hooligans came."
Catherine sneered, "They say a man could never change. If quitting gambling is so easy, there won't be so many broken families in the world."
"Are you done talking?"
