Meanwhile, Ralph, following Bella's instructions, had people closely monitoring Aaron's movements.

After handling all the funeral arrangements for Lance, Christopher visited his mother, Sophie, at a top- tier nursing home in Savrow.

Sophie had withered away to little more than skin and bones. She sat in a wheelchair with her back to her son, tended to by a caregiver, basking in the sunlight of a garden.
