Chapter 17
Seeing his dead serious answer, Letitia was a bit skeptical. “For real?”
Elgin shot back, “Would I lie?”
Fair point. Why would he lie to her of all people?
Letitia got up, freaking out a little. She’d sleepwalked all the way to Elgin’s bed it was a miracle he hadn’t tossed her
out!
But he hadn’t noticed a thing, had he?
“What are you dawdling for? Get out Elgin barked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
She gave a hasty nod and managed to stagger a few steps, but her head was swirling and dizziness washed over her. Her throat was parched and raw as well. She must have caught a cold, probably from getting drenched last night.
But Letitia couldn’t dwell on that she had to swing by the jail first. She needed to ask Elgin for a day off, or else if he couldn’t find her, she’d be in for a storm of temper
The problem was what excuse could she use? As Letitia was squeezing her brain for ideas, Elgin said, “Go see a doctor, don’t you dare get me sick!”

“Sorry for the trouble, she said ‘Please take good care of my dad from now on.”
It’s crazy these people just stood by and let Shela do her thing, heartless. Yet, she had to suck up to them. One day, she’d rise above all this One day!
After the jail visit, Letitia finally headed to the hospital.

“Yes.”
