Carol's eyes welled up in tears at Ramsey and Nancy's pathetic state. She was traumatized seeing them this helpless. She really wanted to help. She was even ready to persuade her husband to push all the necessary buttons to render assistance to her best friends.
Unfortunately, their request was beyond the Gibsons. It wasn't something the family could get entangled in especially when it concerned raping the granddaughter of a powerful monarch.
Carol cared about her friend's family. But she loved her son the most. As much as she was willing to render a helping hand to her friend, she wasn't about to put her own son's life in jeopardy.

Heaving a sigh of frustration, Carol crouched beside her friend and spoke softly.
