Protect And Serve
“They were going to keep Carla overnight, and she had needed more than a few stitches, but she would live.
Thank you, Jesus, Penny thought as she looked toward the ceiling.
Seeing her small, vulnerable mother in that hospital bed really made her question her resistance to moving the woman to Los Angeles.
With Carla’s light complexion, every single bruise seemed amplified. And they each seemed to be screaming, Take care of your mother.
The thought that her mother could very well have died was not... lost on her. In fact, it was the only thing that stopped Penny from thinking about how much she hated hospitals. She especially hated this hospital, the place where she’d lost her baby and been given an emergency D and C.
