Veronica's POV
Apartment - A few seconds later
I froze as my mind went blank.
Silence fell between us as Vance was still on the call.
Jonathan knew there wasn't time to attend both, so he asked me who my priority was.
Fredrick was planning to flee the country.
My lost mother had been found, and if we didn't reach in time, she would be evicted and lost again.
I closed and opened my eyes.
Then I took Jonathan's phone.
"Vance, John just said, Fredrick is fleeing the country."
"Jonathan will head over there, please take me to mother,"
"But, Nicky?"
Jonathan hesitated as he didn't want me to go for such an important moment.
"Jonathan," I said, holding onto his hand.
"Stopping Fredrick is for our future,"
"He can't run off after all that he's done to us,"
"Mother," I said. "Let her come home first,"
Jonathan gently kissed me on my forehead and left to meet John.
Vance's Car
As I got into his car and we drove off, we didn't say a word the entire way.
Reality?
