“But it’s not much different from being dead.”

Bradley snarled. “Kevin Slade!”

“These untreated injuries have led to infections, and she’s now dealing with gastritis and nephritis. Thankfully, her immune system hasn’t completely collapsed yet. It’s all in God’s hands.”

Bradley slowly released his grip on Kevin. “You mentioned she has gastritis?”

Kevin replied, “Do you know what she went through in prison? Did you ensure she had proper nutrition when you took her away?
