Chapter 2221

Athena understood that Lindsay desperately needed the money, but guilt still gnawed at her. None of this should have happened to Lindsay in the first place.

Anyone in Greenfield could easily do them in-both of them. Athena wasn't sure if she'd make it out alive herself; this was a gamble with her life on the line.

"Lindsay, I'll give you my card, but if you come with me to Greenfield, who's going to look after your kids?"

"My brother can handle it. Sometimes I ask Nora, the woman who runs the grocery downstairs, to check in. The store has everything we need, and when I go out to work, he takes care of things at home."

Athena nodded, and then took Lindsay shopping for new clothes for all the children-outfits for every season, enough to last them until they were eighteen.

She also bought new clothes for Lindsay and her brother. The boy was delighted, spinning in front of the mirror and calling Lindsay's name in excitement.

Lindsay reached up and gently ruffled his hair before turning to Athena. "Are we leaving for Greenfield tomorrow? Is that okay? I still have some things to sort out at home."

"That's fine. If you need my help with anything, just say the word. Here's my card. I'll text you the PIN. Use it whenever you need money."
