章 195: The White Foundation

Jada had taken off behind Aubrianne, while Shawn and Kirrah followed but ventured right, and Martha stood on the front porch battling with her guilt.

The sense of familiarity overwhelmed her, and no, Athalia was not on the other side of the door, she told herself.

But this would provide the perfect opportunity for her to retrieve something that belonged to Athalia. So she needed to buck up and head in there. Reminding herself, she was here for Aubrianne now.

Martha had been researching Aubrianne's situation all week, and she had her theories, and if she was right, she needed a personal item from Athalia to confirm this.

She kept her fingers crossed that Athalia had somehow left something behind, as she did not want to have to resort to asking Aubrianne to arouse any suspicions that would lead to questions.

Before bringing Aubrianne in, Martha needed to be sure. She cannot bear to give her hope only to rip it away. That was just cruel.
