Chapter 48

• Sofia desperately looks for Minerva, even though her poor heart is suffering after seeing such a scene where her body's insecurities wreak havoc again. When she arrives at Minerva's room, she knocks on the door. "Mrs. Minerva," she whispers. "Mrs. Minerva, it's Sofia, I need to talk to you, please."
• The door opens, and the two women look at each other. "I did it, Mrs. Minerva," Sofia smiles weakly at her.
• "Dear, come in," Minerva lets her in and then checks to see that no one has seen them. She locks the door.
