The next morning, Savannah came to the Presidential Palace.
Just as she stepped into the inner courtyard, Simon was already waiting for her.
"Mom."
Savannah stepped forward and grabbed her son's hand. "Don't worry. I've always been on your side... I don't understand the reasons behind your grandfather and uncle's actions. I only know that Gladyce had saved Anne and Justin. And she's been helping Daisy. She's a good child."
Simon choked with sobs and said, "Thank you, Mother."
"Silly child." Savannah stretched out her hand and caressed her son's cheek. "You...you were never much of a talker... Had you told me earlier, I would’ve been able to help you."
"...Hmm." Simon lowered his head and tears welled up.
Upstairs, Celia and Gladyce were already waiting.
Savannah pushed open the door and entered. Smiling, she said, "Mom, Gladyce."
