"Where do you think you are going?" Joanna asked the boy who had just stood up from his seat and was about to leave.
"I need to stop Mum...,"
"And how will you do that when even your father and sister were unable to stop her?" Joanna demanded.
She held his hand so that he wouldn't leave her side no matter what.
"But she is going to kill him if I don't stop her. And can't you see that Laura won't stop crying because Mum is beating him up?" Anthony shouted to Joanna's bewilderment.
The astounded Joanna gazed at his worried face as he wrestled to free himself from her hold.
How could her love for him make her forget that the people she schemed against were his closest family?
Why did she forget that blood will always be thicker than water?
These were the thoughts that occupied Joanna's mind as she stared at Anthony.
"Stay here with Drey while I go and talk to your Mum," Joanna offered to help as she stood up from her seat.
