Gemma's mother couldn't be consoled, she has been crying and wailing over her kidnapped daughter.
"Mama, you need to calm down," Bernal said to his mother whose eyes were now puffy and her nose runny because of all the tears that she had shed.
It broke Bernal's heart to see his mother this way. The more she cried, the more he wanted to kill Greco and his son.
"Gemma is fine, and she will be back home soon," Mateo who was sitting beside Bernal, said.
"Lies!" Their mother screamed at them. "If she is still alive why haven't I been able to speak with her? Has anyone of you been able to speak to her? How are you so sure that she is still alive? Oh, my poor baby girl." Their mother started wailing afresh.
Bernal stood up and came to stand beside his mother. "Mama, please stop crying. I promise to bring Gemma back to you, alive. I give you my word."
His mother turned to look at him with tear-filled eyes.
