Evelina spotted her immediately and hurried over, hands on her hips.

“Liz, I bet you’ve already seen your mom and uncles, right? They’ve been seriously hurt and can’t afford medical bills. You’re their flesh and blood, and yet you avoid them. That’s not cool, is it?”

Lizetta stopped in her tracks, looked at Evelina, and said with a smile, “Well, you’re here, aren’t you? Ms. Hawthorne, since you are such a good Samaritan, why not help them out a bit more? After all, they were your family for six years and raised you.”
