Mrs. Chambers lay in bed for nearly an hour before she regained consciousness. Everyone came forward and gathered around her. Savannah inquired with anxiety and worry, “Mom, are you alright?”

Mrs. Chambers just looked at Ophelia and Zachariah.

Mrs. Chambers snorted and spoke in a tough attitude, “Ophelia, don’t take Tommy away if you still respect me. He’s my grandson and one of the Chambers. You can’t just take him from me. Or you’re killing me.”
