matter wasn't over yet.
The kidnappers were let go, and | still hadn't dealt with the mastermind. With Lynn and Riley in even greater

She said, "Thanks for caring about Riley. If her condition really can be treated, | won't hold it against you

| nodded. Honestly, | didn't care whether she blamedor not.
Riley was still so young and had a whole life ahead of her. Right now, I just hoped that she could get better soon.
