At the café, Magnus stirred his coffee.

He had been waiting here for a while.

“The police called me yesterday. Mom collapsed in jail. They took her to the hospital, did some tests, and found out she has a late–stage brain tumor,” Magnus continued.

Cecilia looked at him seriously, then scoffed, “Are you asking me to write a settlement agreement? To spare her life?”
