"Bruce?" Thalassa's face instantly contorted with rage and disgust as she wiped away her tear and said firmly, "I'm calling the cops right now!"
She made a move to get out of bed to find her phone.
Evelyn's grip on her wrist trembled as she spoke in a terrified whisper, "Don't call the cops, Thalassa, please don't!"
Turning back to Evelyn, Thalassa saw the fear and shame in her eyes, which only heightened her own concern. "If we get the police to lock him up for decades, he won't be able to hurt anyone else."
"He's got a video," Evelyn choked out between sobs. "He said if I go to the police, he'll leak it online. And with how things spread these days... if it gets out, I... I..." She couldn't finish the sentence.
Thalassa had just pulled her back from the brink.
"What?" Thalassa was shaking with shock and fury.
What a scumbag! A monster!
Bruce had recorded a video!
Was he trying to drive her mother to her grave?
"Mom, don't think like that, please. I'll find a way to get that video and destroy it. Just don't dwell on it," Thalassa said, squeezing Evelyn's hand, trying to comfort her.
She was terrified of Evelyn giving up hope.
"We're moving out tonight. We can't stay here any longer," Thalassa said with a pained voice, tears brimming in her eyes.
She was grateful that her mother's hand, still warm in hers, was alive.
Evelyn turned her gaze away, not wanting to see the worry and pain on Thalassa's face, and silently let her tears fall.
