Chapter 27: He’s Not My Family

The police had a few more questions for Cathryn. She loosened Grace's arm and stood up. Just then, she saw Keith standing outside the door when she looked up. She had remembered her promise to him that she would keep herself from having a miscarriage. She couldn't help herself; she still had to save the young girl regardless of the danger. She felt somewhat ashamed when she saw the look in Keith's eyes.

However, Keith had no intention of blaming her. He went up to Cathryn and said to the police, "I'm part of her family, could I accompany her into the room?"

"No, he's not my family." Cathryn blurted out.

The policeman was in a daze for a second, then he smiled and asked, "Do you know him?"

Cathryn was so anxious not to have him come into the room with her that it made Keith feel disappointed. Fixing his eyes on Cathryn, his lips pressed into a hard line.

"Yes, we're friends," replied Cathryn.
