Loraine and Hansen looked at their mother's grave and their tears never stopped flowing.
Everleigh walked over, squatted down, and patted her on the shoulder. "Loraine, it's getting late. Let's go home."
"Aunt Trevino, I'm now a child without a mother, aren't I?" Loraine looked at her with red eyes.
Everleigh sobbed but couldn't bear to tell her that it was reality.
"Loraine, both of you can't stay here. Listen to me and go back with us," Cecil helped to persuade them, seeing that Everleigh was disheartened.
Loraine glanced at Hansen. His face was pale and his eyes were red and swollen, looking like bells.
Their hearts ached.
They nodded and followed Everleigh back to the Trevino family home.
Abraham knew about this matter too. He looked at the two children, one of whom was the same age as Alastair and Adrienne. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel sorry for them. They lost their mother at such a young age and their father was such a cruel person.
"You can rest here for a while. If you need anything, just tell Hilda, okay?" Everleigh told Loraine.
She nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Trevino."
She cried too much the past two days and she could barely speak as her voice was hoarse.
Everleigh caressed her face and asked Hilda to make them something to eat.
After Alastair and Adrienne came back from school and heard about the news, they took Hansen into a room. Nobody knew what they were talking about.
Loraine was depressed the entire day and had no strength to do anything.
Everleigh's heart was also aching, but she knew that they had to overcome this on their own.
The next day, when Everleigh arrived at the company, she saw Loraine. Out of curiosity, she followed her.
In Theodore's office, Loraine was sitting on the sofa, looking at her older brother in front of her.
"I hope you can do me a favor."
"Shouldn't you have gone to find Wilson?" Theodore's cold gaze made Loraine tremble in fear. She knew that he had no right to help her, but she had no other choice.
She clearly knew what kind of person Wilson was. If she relied on him, she would probably die earlier.
Loraine took a deep breath and controlled the fear in her heart. "As for what kind of person Wilson is, you don't have to tell me anything more. I don't have any other expectations. I just hope that you can help me since we're still a bit related by blood. Send both my brother and I abroad. My mother left us a lot of money and it's enough for us to survive. However, there's no way for us to go abroad on our own, and we need your help."
Hearing that, the smile on Theodore's face grew even wider. "Why didn't you look for Everleigh?"
"Aunt Everleigh is a nice person, but... Godfrey is not her surname." Loraine also knew that if she asked Everleigh to help her, she would definitely agree. It was the Godfrey family's business after all. Even if she was Theodore's fiancee, she still wasn't from the Godfrey family.
Everleigh stood at the door and heard everything clearly.
She was also very curious about what Theodore would do.
He remained silent for a long time, staring at Loraine's expression quietly.
Loraine clenched her fists and her palms became sweaty. She was betting to see if he would agree to her request. If he didn't agree, she had to find another way.
"Okay, when will you leave?"
She was a little surprised when she heard his words. Did he agree?
"I... I will leave as soon as possible."
"Just tell me when you want to leave. I will arrange it for you. However, if you don't want Wilson to find you, you have to change your name."
