Vera Wave put down her chopsticks and stood up.
"Let's go, you take me somewhere."
"Where are you going?" Tommy Taylor asked.
Vera took the handbag he handed her and uttered, "To plead with Nathan Leafcastle."
Tommy's eyes flickered with surprise, but he said no more.
The two went downstairs together, and Tommy drove Vera to Nathan Leafcastle's residence, stopping the car downstairs at the Leafcastle's. Tommy came over to help her open the car door.
"I'll go up alone, just wait for me outside."
Vera looked up at the lit room upstairs, bit her lip, walked up the steps, and rang the doorbell.
After a moment, the door was opened.
Sally Dalton stood outside, her gaze falling on Vera, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, then moving aside to let her in.
"I... I want to see Brother Nathan."
"He's upstairs." Sally turned and walked towards the stairs. "Follow me!"
The two went upstairs one after the other, Sally stopped in front of a half-open door and stepped aside.
