“What? Alright, I’m on my way!” Whitney’s face turned pale as she bit her lip. Her uncle had been sentenced to prison overnight, how could be possibly accept this turn of events?

She gently laid Ludwik back on his pillow, her hands twisting anxiously. He was now sound asleep – had it been ages since he last slept properly?

By the time he woke up, she figured it should be a few hours, and by then, she should be back.

The situation was urgent, and Whitney, with no other choice, stood up.

“What’s the use? Ludwik is determined to see me dead! They sentenced me to life without a trial. I won’t accept it! His mother’s comatose state has nothing to do with me, or you. Whitney, the police questioned you, what exactly happened that night?”
