Lillian, teary-eyed, plopped down next to Grandma Emily and said, looking all kinds of pitiful, "Grandma, it's my fault. I've always known Allison's not fond of me. I can handle a slap, but seeing you so upset makesworry about your health. Please, don't stress yourself over this." Grandma Emily's heart ached as she looked at Lillian, gently brushing her cheek. "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Does it still hurt?" Lillian, tears brimming, shook her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore, Grandma."

After Allison and Javier left the Fisher family's place, they swung by the hospital to check on Linda. Linda was awake but still all over the place emotionally. When she saw Allison, her eyes immediately filled with tears.
"Allie, your sister... she..." Linda was so choked up she couldn't even finish her sentence.
Allison felt a stab of pain in her chest and tried to comfort her. "Auntie, Chris is trying to use Lizzy as leverage with Joshua, so she shouldn't be in any immediate danger.

With her new phone in hand, Allison immediately reached out to Breanna.
"Allison?" Breanna's voice was a mix of relief and tears. "Are you okay? I was so worried when I couldn't reach you last night. I was scared something happened and even ended up calling the police. Where are you now?" Allison didn't want to drag others into her mess or make her friends worry, so she left out the part about being kidnapped by Chris. She replied gently, "I'm okay now. I'm sorry, something unexpecte up fast night, and I couldn't pick up."
Breanna let out a relieved sigh. "Aş long as you're okay. Allison asked, "Where are you now?" "I'm at the hotel." "Sendthe address. I'll swing by." Breanna sent over the address.
After leaving the Fisher place, an Owens family driver had taken them to the hospital. When she left, she took the car with her. Allison
punched the address into the GPS; the hotel was just a ten minute drive away.
