Yannie bit her lip upon hearing this. She lifted her head to stare at Gwen, her gaze gradually becoming 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 nothing compared 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 in comfort 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 become 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 to comfort 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.
