After leaving the police station, Nina, accompanied by Declan Grant, returned to the hospital.
Leo Lloyd lay in the intensive care unit, hooked up to all sorts of tubes.
Nina gave Anna Zane and Rhonda all the money she had on her, as well as all the liquid assets from her company.
She couldn't bear to face Anna Zane's pain and Rhonda's dazed confusion.
Her feet were numb. Nina didn't know how she'd even left the hospital. The next thing she knew, she was in a car in the parking lot.
"Nina?" Declan called her name five or six times before her pupils finally flickered.
She turned her head helplessly to look at Declan and began to murmur endlessly.
"Second Brother Grant, what should I do? I don't know what to do anymore... I've made so many mistakes... again and again..."
