"He was right when he said he will take care of you." Thea said calmly.
"What are you saying? Look at this Thea. This is done by his cousin. How do you expect me to believe that he would take care of me instead of his cousin after this?" Now Ruth was angry.
Thea was her best friend and, yet she was siding with Edwin. That was unfair!
"Ruth... stop assuming and listen. You may not remember it now, but stress your brain and visit that night again. Do you remember how you were saved?"
Ruth shook her head. She recalled that night in the snippets. She remembered the animal attacked her and how Eloise and Fannie left her in misery.
She closed her eyes, stressing onto her brain. Her brows knitted as she found it difficult to remember. But her eyes opened after she remembered a familiar voice... it was calling her name.
