Chapter 2787


    Yannie bit her lip upon hearing this. She lifted her head to stare at Gwen, her gaze gradually bing


    more resolute.


    When she recalled what Gwen had gone through…she could not help realizing that what she was


    going through at the moment was nothingpared to Gwen‘s past.


    At this thought, Yannie sniffed and lifted her head to meet Luna and Gwen‘s gaze. “What… should I do


    now? Is there any news from Mr. Lynch? Does he have any way to help Thomas prove his innocence?”


    When Luna saw just how worried Yannie was, she could not bring herself to bring Yannie bad news,


    but at the same time, she could not hide the truth from her either.


    Therefore, she let out an exhale and said, “So far, nothing yet. Joshua has managed to find a coroner


    to conduct a postmortem examination on Senior Howard to find the cause of his death. If he can prove


    that Senior Howard didn‘t die of the gunshot, Thomas will be released from captivity immediately.”


    She grasped Yannie‘s hand infort as she continued, “What you have to do now is help Thomas get


    his emotions under control so that he can recall whether Senior Howard has said anything to him


    before his death.


    “All this can eventually be evidence to prove his innocence.”


    Yannie nodded.


    “You always know what to do, Ms. Luna.” Mrs. Flores smiled as she handed Luna a cup of hot coffee.


    “When I tried tofort Yannie before you arrived, nothing could seem to get in at all, but you


    managed to talk some sense into her after all.” Then, she sighed and gently caressed Yannie‘s hair.


    “Yannie…I‘m so happy that you‘ve found genuine friends like Ms. Luna and Ms. Larson. As long as


    they‘re here to help you, I can die in peace knowing you‘re in good hands…”


    The color drained from Yannie‘s face when she heard this. She shot Mrs. Flores a look of disbelief.


    “How can you say something like that?”


    With that, she stood up and disappeared into the bathroom to freshen up.


    Yannie could not help letting out a bitter chuckle as she stared at her red, puffy face in the mirror.


    She instinctively nced in Luna and Gwen‘s direction out of the corner of her eye. Her mother said


    that she was happy she had found genuine friends like them, but…


    Yannie closed her eyes.


    She could not help feeling that she did not deserve such friends. Luna and Gwen could always keep


    their heads straight despite being caught in horrible circumstances, but she had grown up an ordinary


    girl who went with the flow of life. Therefore, she had never learned any healthy caping mechanisms,


    apart from running away and crying, when it came to dealing with obstacles.


    At this thought, Yannie sniffed and stared at herself in the mirror, her gaze bing more and more


    resolute.


    Thomas had been helping her from the moment they met. It was time for her to stick up for him with his


    current predicament.


    Gwen was right; crying was never the answer!


    Yannie wiped her face with a clean towel and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Then, she emerged


    from the bathroom and put on her coat. “Let’s go, Luna, Gwen.”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Luna paused when she saw Yannie’s newfound resolution, then smiled. “Alright, let’s go. Are we going


    to visit Thomas at the holding cell?”
