Chat approached her, intending to speak to her, but in the end, he said nothing. 3

Elliot stared silently at her pale face, then said, "I know."

"I'm sorry. He won't apologize to you. He already left the country," Chelsea said through the lump in her

throat. "Please forgive my family, Elliot. My father's getting old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to
