章節 1970: Emma's baby shower (10)

"You are talking about us taking over two big organizations.", Charlie reminded Emma.

"And making it into one.", Emma added.

"Did you consider the fact that the circle of people targeting us will increase?", Charlie asked while observing Emma's reaction.

"Our strength will increase as well. I admit that I live a sheltered life and I don't know many details, but I know that Ellie, Biddy, Sophia, Anna, and Sarah are involved in more than what it shows on the surface. Actually, everyone I know seems to have invisible enemies and something to fight against them. Right now, I only have enemies. By stepping up, I will become stronger and show everyone that I am not an easy target. I am tired of being the weak one who needs protection. I don't want to be a burden to you or my friends. They helped me numerous times, and I wish to return the favor. Also, with the baby on the way, I can't rely on you to protect us while I stay passive."
