Chapter 8 - The Tearful Reunion Between Clara And Young Lily

Clara sobbed uncontrollably as Marcus carried her outside into the fresh air, where Lily was waiting inside the secure vehicle. The little girl burst through the van door, throwing her arms around her mother's neck with absolute joy and relief.
"Mommy! The man in the navy suit saved us just like you said he would!" Lily cried, kissing Clara's bruised cheek. Clara held her daughter with all the strength left in her body, looking up at Marcus with profound gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Vance... they were going to throw me into the harbor," Clara whispered, her voice trembling from trauma. Marcus wrapped his heavy wool coat around her shoulders, assuring her that she and Lily were safe forever under his protection.
