The mention of “Elaine‘ left Whitney frozen, tears streaming down her face.
But she had no time to be sad, no time for jealousy over his trust in Elaine. She would not stand by and watch him crumble, let the Lippert family kick him when he was down. She would cure him; she had to believe she
could.
“Leave it to me. L. Give me your hand,” Whitney called to him, her voice a gentle caress through her tears.
His rage seemed to subside at the sound of her voice, and he slowly calmed down, slumping to the ground and extending his muscular arm toward her,
