章節 24: Go out and explore

After Svetlana said that, she stepped inside the hospital room without wasting another moment, leaving the ball in Kate's court.

As Kate narrated the entire incident, she burst into tears. What was worst in this matter was Svetlana had not forced her to lie to Leona. 

She had just shown her a perspective and given her a choice to decide what she wanted to do. 

But in the end, Kate agreed with the woman's words in her mind. Even though she was reluctant to lie to Leona, she felt like she would only bring her harm if she told her the truth.
