Nigel Clegg sighed softly.
Melody Foster was crying so hard she nearly lost her balance.
He hesitated but finally reached out and slowly pulled her into his embrace.
Melody Foster immediately collapsed into his arms.
She cried as if her heart was breaking.
"All right, steady yourself," said Nigel Clegg, who was usually quite good at comforting girls, but at that moment he found himself at a loss for words.
Melody Foster's predicament left him unsure of how to comfort her.
The actions of Jane Foster and Arthur Baker were so despicable, so outrageous.
Fifty million...
She was a girl with no way out, no power, no influence; what would have become of her if she hadn't met him?
Not knowing how long she had been crying, Melody Foster finally began to quiet down.
She pushed Nigel Clegg away somewhat embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry..." Her voice was heavy with nasal congestion, "for making you witness such a scene..."
Nigel Clegg only asked her, "Is Arthur Baker your brother-in-law?"
