Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is going on, Yuvonne?\u201d I asked her as I set her down on the bench.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time we arrived, we had received more bad news. Ron\u2019s grandmother had passed away, and they had arrested Ron on suspicion of her murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yuvonne had been out of it, almost as if she was unable to process everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are they saying all that?\u201d she uttered in her mouth. They know Ron would never do th even hurt a fly. Why would he hurt his own grandmother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
d never\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned to me, speaking softly. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but each time she wiped them away with the back of her hand, trying to appear strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI completely believe you,\u201d I told her. \u201cThere must be a misunderstanding. We will deal with it, okay? There is no way they can punish him like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to comfort her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she raised her head to look at me, probably about to say something, I noticed a frown form on her forehead. Someone who had appeared behind me caught her attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I snapped my head around, and my mood soured almost instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHeard about Ron, that\u2019s so sad,\u201d Graham remarked as he stood behind me, speaking to Yuvonne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yuvonne did not respond. She turned her face away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyways, I heard Baxter is admitted here too,\u201d he added. \u201cWhat is going on? Why is everyone getting hurt or getting arrested?\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the way he spoke. It did not sound like genuine concern. Of course, I did not expect him to show any.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But to sound this cocky at such a sensitive moment, I honestly could not understand how much Graham had changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew that he and Elgin had shown their worst sides to me over the past few months, but I never expected them to turn out this bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor said he is in a very critical condition. I did not understand why he would summon a monster when he did not have a solid plan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Graham continued speaking to me, I felt like I had to give him a fitting response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rose from the bench and turned to face him, and I immediately noticed that he did not like my body language. I did not come across as a devastated woman to him. Even though I was, I refused to show it to him or anyone else. \u201cHe\u2019s a father, Graham,\u201d I told him. \u201cFathers never think about consequences when it comes to finding their children.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My taunt hit him hard. He nodded with slight movements, almost as if he was trying to show me that he understood what I was saying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, did he get any good luck?\u201d Graham demanded. \u201cHmm? Because by the end of the day, my Gina is still dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice cracked when he mentioned Gina. I pointed my finger at him before clenching my fists and turning my head away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
