Alessa scoffed and immediately declared, “Mr. Read, this is your family matter, and I won’t interfere. But… since this elderly woman is in Eragos, our association will not stand idly by!”

Weston’s face lit up with joy, “Thank you, Mrs. Alessa! I knew you were a kind–hearted person. Thank you for helping my great–aunt!”

I won’t hesitate. If I break this promise …
