But Rebecca spoke up. “She saved me when I was near death. Now that she’s in trouble, how can I leave? The medical facilities in Oceanion are quite good. I’ll stay in this hospital until Miss Olsen is safe.”

Mr. and Mrs. Allen looked at each other. “What Miss Olsen really killed that person?”

Rebecca’s eyes turned red. “Then I’ll wait. Miss Olsen doesn’t have much family or friends, and I’ll see her every visitation day! It would be so heartbreaking if everyone else has visitors and only she doesn’t.”

Isla smiled. “Mrs. Horton, I came to tell you something…”

Old Mrs. Horton waved her hand dismissively. “I don’t want to hear you speak. Go away.”
