Melinda shook her head. "No, I don't feel comfortable letting a caregiver take care of her. Emily is my best friend. She's like family to me! I can't leave her here alone!" Adam scoffed.

"Fine. You can stay here with her. I'll get my bodyguards to protect you. I'll come here to see you when I have the time. Are you happy now?" he said with a sigh.
