Chapter 8 - Sarah's FightWhile Arthur's lawyers fought for his reputation, Sarah sat beside Lily in a hospital room.
Lily slept.
A bandage covered part of her forehead.
Sarah watched her daughter's breathing.
She had been strong all night.
But now, alone, she finally allowed herself to cry.
She blamed herself.
She wondered whether she should have prevented it.
Whether she should have stayed home.
Whether she should have protected Lily better.
A knock came at the door.
Eleanor Vance entered.
Eleanor was a renowned civil-rights attorney known for taking impossible cases.
She placed a folder on the table.
"I want you to understand something."
Sarah looked up.
"What?"
"This isn't about revenge."
Eleanor opened the folder.
"It's about accountability."
Sarah looked toward Lily.
"I don't want my daughter growing up believing powerful people can hurt others and simply buy their way out."

Eleanor nodded.
"Then let's make sure she doesn't."
