“My mother? What about my mother?” Victoria wanted to make sure she heard right. Why would William bring her dead mother into a conversation?
“The domestic call we had earlier, the wife was almost beaten to death. She is in the hospital right now in stable condition and her husband was arrested,” he said, knowing the news might affect her, but she had the right to know. Victoria folded her arms across her chest and looked at William with narrowed eyes.
“And what does that have to do with me?” she asked. Despite her hating men who abused women, she didn’t have anything to do with that specific woman.
William took a deep breath and tried to find the words to tell her. “Victoria, that lady we rescued from her husband….we found out that lady is your mother.”
