My eyes filled with tears.
“Where is my mother now?”
“
Linda took her to the hospital for some tests. She’s safe. You can call her right now.”
I immediately called my mother.
She answered.
“Emily, sweetheart, everything is fine. Robert has been helping me. I was the one who asked him to surprise you.”
I slowly sat down.
But I still didn’t understand what any of this had to do with Robert’s threatening words or the locked door.
He took another document from the folder.
“My wife was a teacher for thirty years. She passed away six years ago. In her memory, I established a scholarship foundation.”
It turned out that every year, Robert helped several young employees from his restaurants attend college.
They went through a selection process, and the foundation covered the tuition fees for those who were chosen.
