She looked at her mother and said truthfully, "Mommy, if I call the police, that woman will kill you!"
"I'd rather die than have you commit a crime!" Mrs. Foster said decisively.
She beat her own leg, speaking regretfully, "It's all my fault. I dragged you into this mess!"
Tears immediately filled Lucy Foster's eyes.
She grabbed her mother's hand, which was beating her leg constantly, "Mommy, don't say that. If anyone dragged anyone down, it's me dragging you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had such a hard time all these years."
After she finished speaking, Lucy Foster continued, "Mommy, don't worry too much. Aren't we both doing fine right now? I have money now. As long as we leave River City, we can start over."
Lucy Foster indeed had money.
In addition to the fifty thousand she got from the Skull Woman, plus what Malcom Moore previously gave her and her own savings from these years, Lucy Foster had about more than one hundred thousand in her hands.
