Racheal decided then and there to call Spencer Sherrod’s bluff. He must not know she still cared about Steffan. She would not let him twist her arm into a surrender. If his fear of that evidence was so great that he came all the way here, she was going to make sure it got into Steffan’s hands only. “Why do you think I care about someone that let you bring me here?” Racheal asked. “You heard him say I am dead to him. He is dead to me too.” “That’s a lie. You think I cannot spot it when you are lying?” “The way you did when you accused me of killing Skylar? You probably know I did not do it,” She said bitterly. Spencer shrugged. “I had a suspicion you didn’t, but that was my one chance to put you away. You would have ruined my plans at the rate you were helping Steffan find answers.” he smiled bitterly. “Whoever set you up did a good job of it.” “You cheapened Skylar’s death for your petty ambitions?" She gasped. "You are a horrible father.” “You will take that back,” Spenc

He looked at Spencer Sherrod in shock. “You went all the way to Tourris?” He doubted the president had gone there at all since he got into the presidency seat. “Of course. You are my son. You expect me to just sit and watch you suffer?”He looked at the president in confusion. For many reasons, he was not buying this at all. “And did she confess to killing Skylar?”“I guess I was a fool to think she would. I mean. I had a gun aimed at her head that time, and she still would not admit it.” Spencer Sherrod said.He continued watching his father. He knew the man well. He would not go all the way to Tourris except for something very important. Something that was important to him.Could that something be the little woman? Was he abusing her like he did Malorie?He felt a shiver run down his back. He would strangle the man right here. Then he paused. What was wrong with him? He had not confirmed that his father truly did all this. Why was he feeling so protective over a woman that

“When we get to the hospital, get out of Yin.” Racheal said.“I cannot just abandon you.” Emily replied, turning to stare at her in shock.“All I just gave up will be useless if you are recaptured. Leave Yin.”“OK.” Emily said hesitantly. “There must be something I can do for you.”Racheal looked at her and smiled. “Expose Spencer Sherrod. All I have told you so far, publish it.” Then the pain became too much, and she passed out.11:00 pm27-07-2021Capital hospital, YinRacheal opened her eyes and found herself staring into a familiar face. She winced as the pain came on again.“Easy.” The young doctor said calmly.“Doctor Leo,” Racheal said, finally recognizing him. She noticed she was now in a white shift dress, lying on a firm hospital bed.“Yes, Mrs Sherrod.” He smiled sadly. She looked around, she was alone. “Where is Emily?” “Gone. That is what she said I should tell you," he said.Racheal nodded, relieved. She hoped the woman managed to make it out of Yin safely. She hope

10:30 am28-07-2021Capital hospital, YinRacheal clung to Leo, as her whole body shook. One minute she had been laughing at the silly party hat he was wearing when he brought her birthday cake in, then she stood up to take the hat and wear it on her own head,but the floor seemed to have disappeared under her.She was lucky for Leo’s quick reflexes, she would have hit her head badly. He gently lowered her to the bed. She frowned and looked around. Was she imagining it? She could have sworn she smelled Steffan. She would recognize that smell she had breathed in so much in the past, anywhere.Maybe she was imagining it. What would he need here? She looked up to see Leo was staring down at her.“You are getting weaker,” he said.She said nothing as she began to cut a slice off the cake the good doctor got for her twenty-fourth birthday. Of course, she knew she was getting weaker, and she had lost so much weight at this point. She also knew that her chances of survival were getti

07:00 am31-08-2021Capital hospital, YinIt had been days since Racheal last saw Leo. He promised her he was going to find help for her, no matter what it took. He left her in the care of a nurse who was his friend. The nurse spent her time taking care of her, even after her work shift was done. The way Leo had done when he was here.Racheal worried about him. Hoped he did not go challenge the Sherrods, and got in trouble. She was not sure she would be able to handle the pain if anything happened to him too.She groaned as she felt another bout of headache coming on. She was so exhausted from this pain. Her body was weak.“I will give you something to help you sleep.” The nurse hurried beside her. Racheal nodded, and watched her inject something into the IV sac.“You will be fine in no time.”“Thank you.” Racheal said weakly.She moved her eyes to the door as she sensed someone coming in. She squinted, thinking the man in scrubs looked familiar. When he took the nose guard dow
