Penelope looked atwith concern. "Are you sure you're okay? We can wait until you're feeling better." "I'm fine. We can start now." Aside from the drugs and the radiation exposure, I was in relatively good shape.

I closed my eyes for a moment before recounting everything Lily had toldabout Luca to Penelope.
The more Penelope listened, the darker her expression became. "Is there any evidence beyond her words? "she asked.
I shook my head.
I doubted the police would be able to find anything concrete since even I had no proof.
All these things happened way too long ago. Evidence from something like Lily working as a hostess at a karaoke club couldn't really be used as solid evidence Even if they could prove Luca had been in contact with Lily, it wouldn't make any difference.
Penelope sighed. "Without concrete evidence or witnesses, we can't charge Luca with anything. Legallyr he hasn't committed a crime." I nodded. I knew all of this. Luca had always been careful, and it would be nearly impossible to catch him red- handed even if his true nature slipped through.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I knocked, but no one answered..." he said quickly, coughing a few times to excuse himself.
Leonard woke up groggily, blinking in confusion at the sight of him.
"Uncle Keenan," Leonard muttered, his face quickly losing all warmth.
I sat up in bed and asked him. "Uncle, what are you doing here?" "News of your accident was all over the Internet. How could I not cto check on you?"
He lookedover, then glanced at Leonard, placing the gift he had m brought on the table beside the bed.

Leonard remained cold and distant the entire time, even radiating a slight hostility toward him. I, on the other m hand, played my part a woman on the verge of divorce, desperate for support from her maternal family. Leonard clearly didn't approve of my actions.
