Norris Moore knew all too well that what she could do was just a drop in the bucket, and she might even find herself in a tragic situation.
But Aldana was right there, within arm's reach, visible and tangible. How could she possibly leave as if nothing had happened?
Let her continue to suffer with Steven Balance without even seeing her own daughter!
She couldn't stand by and do nothing while her dearest friend was right in front of her without being able to help.
"Norris, I appreciate your kindness." Aldana breathed softly, her body unable to withstand much agitation, trying hard to stabilize her breathing. She gently said to Norris Moore, "But now is not the time. You and Mr. Smith are here just for a visit, but this country is under Steven Balance's control. If I were to disappear, he might block all airports or ships. At that time, not only would I be unable to leave, but even you and Mr. Smith might be in trouble."
