CHAPTER 35: Please leave

  "Ok, we are going to get to the bottom of this. Once and for all. Please don't worry about anything." Avery hugged me and I nodded. But inside I was screaming. I couldn't leave it. Why should I? They might think that they were helping but all I wanted was to get back what was mine. It was taking a long time. I didn't care for this Sophia person. Images of my father popped into my head and I decided that I should probably go and visit him since Gabriel was giving me the cold shoulder anyway.

  "You're right, Avery. Anyway, I think I am going to spend some time up at the hospital with my father if you don't mind," I said to Avery, my tone firm but gentle. Avery nodded understandingly, her expression filled with empathy. "Of course, Daisy. Take all the time you need. I'll be here if you need anything," she replied, her voice filled with warmth.
