Cora couldn't help but feel sorry for Samantha. Who wouldn't? The poor kid just lost her mother at a very young age. Plus she had to leave home, school, and friends... Everything she was born into and grew up to know behind to another continent entirely
That poor girl could have been her daughter. Cora thought with a dreadful feeling in her heart. What if she was the one that died and Isabella was taken away from her grandparents and forced to live in another country and with people she was not familiar with?
The thought alone makes her so sick she wants to throw up. It also makes her want to fiercely protect and take care of Samantha as she would care for her own child.
