Evelyn laughed. "You're losing your mind. That's why I came here so I can take care of you. He's not taking care of you because he wants to keep his secrets hidden. Come with me. I know a good doctor who can help you."
"No, answer what I asked. We had a conversation about my father right here. Should I start looking for him again?" Veronica asked, piecing together what she tried to do.
Evelyn tried not to let her anger show. "Veronica, sweetie. Why would you do such a stupid thing? Your father has been off the radar for years because of his troubled past. If you reach out to him, you're just going to cause problems for all of us."
'Her father,' Beth thought. If this could ruin or embarrass Veronica then it was worth a shot. Her uncle would be open to searching for Veronica's father to get money out of him. 'I want to see what kind of beggar he was."
