Wendy watched as Michael's tears slowly rolled down his face.
Her mood grew heavier and more anxious, "What on earth happened, tell me immediately."
"I'm sorry Wendy, I'm sorry..." Michael reached out and hugged Wendy, holding her tightly, his voice choked with sobs, "I didn't take care of Leah and Jake, I'm sorry..."
Wendy reached out and gently patted Michael on the back, trying to comfort him.
Michael continued, "Yvonne had gone through plastic surgery in order to look like you, she imitated your voice and your behavior. When you were first taken hostage by Christian, Yvonne stayed, and I thought she was you.
"Then, she drugged our meals with a poison that attacks the immune system, and there was only one antidote. Christian wanted me to choose between Leah and Jake..."
"And then what?" Michael suddenly paused, and Wendy immediately continued to ask, "Whom did you choose?"
