ASHER
By morning the summon would be given to Isabelle's uncle and aunt to head to the court, and from how things ended today it seemed that she might just win the case, that was if her Uncle didn't retaliate and sue her. Then it would be an entirely long and drawing process fighting for custody of her sister. From how anxious she looked you could tell that Marianne really needed to have that surgery. I mean it shocked me as well, why wouldn't they just let her have it? I mean, how heartless and how desperate were they for her family fortune that they would neglect the treatment meant for a dying child?
Pushing the door of my room open, I shrugged my coat and tossed it onto my bed but someone caught it. Sabine, "what are you doing here?"
I asked, and she looked up at me, eyes swollen and red, the tip of her nose the same color it did not take a genius to see she had been crying.
