As Christopher had said, the body of Alicia relied on money to keep it alive, or else it might have died long ago.
Amelia Cobb lay on the sofa, feeling weak and powerless.
She wanted to struggle, but her physical weakness made it impossible for her to do so.
Betty Harrison followed Lucas Atkins in and saw Amelia's face, worried, she motioned for Lucas to leave.
She bent over and touched Amelia's forehead, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Amelia shook her head weakly.
Betty looked at her face, which didn't seem fine at all.
Amelia wanted to speak, but a wave of nausea pushed away her desire. She reached out and patted Betty's hand, pointing at the trash bin in the corner.
Betty quickly picked up the trash bin nearby, and Amelia leaned over it, vomiting out loud.
The sound of vomiting came wave after wave.
Betty sat next to her, patting her back, and handed her water and tissues.
