Chapter 16 - Lily Finally Shares The Terrifying Truth About Ray’s House
That afternoon, once the media storm subsided, Lily sat up in bed while Dr. Hale checked her arm cast.
When the doctors left, Lily looked at Daniel and gestured for him to sit closer to her pillow.
“I didn't run away just because Ray was mean,” Lily began, her voice steady for the first time.
“Why did you run, Lily?” Daniel asked gently, resting his hands on the edge of the mattress.
“Because Ray said on Monday we were all getting moved to a different building across the state line.”
“What building?”
“A place where people in suits came to take pictures and sign papers with red stamps,” Lily explained.
“They weren't social workers, Daniel; they were buyers.”
