With a heavy heart, Laverne let her tears fall. Just the thought of that dreadful day when Yuna mercilessly injected her with unknown substances was enough to make her shudder.
But Yuna was far from moved by Laverne's anguish. When all secrets were laid bare and exposed, all Yuna could think of was fear. Fear was all that was left.
Frantically, Yuna searched for her cell phone, turning the hospital room upside down.
"Where's my phone... my phone... wait, you old witch, I'm calling my parents right now! I swear I'll make you pay, you and Marguerite..."
Her incessant rambling was, to some extent, disturbing. Laverne, though, found her heart growing colder and colder.
Laverne took a deep breath, straightened up, wiped her tears, and spoke with grave seriousness, "Chuck is right outside. If I call for him, he'll be here in a heartbeat. Now tell me, who do you think is faster, Ablett or Chuck?"
Yuna froze, rooted to the spot.
She turned to look at Laverne, her face a mess of tears and snot, a pitiful sight to behold.
As if under some sort of spell, she suddenly threw herself at Laverne's feet, pleading desperately, "Granny, I beg you, please don't tell Freddie. I'll die, I really will! I'm sorry, Granny, I should never have hurt you! I apologize, I'll do anything, anything you want. What do you want?"
As she spoke, she knocked her forehead on the floor with such force that it echoed through the room.
Seeing her like this, Laverne felt a heartbreaking pain. Yuna was her granddaughter too, after all. How had she become like this?
She couldn't bear to see this. She gently helped Yuna up from the floor. "My dear child, listen to your granny. Stop this. Apologize to Marguerite, tell the truth. Freddie won't harm you."
