Chương 27 - The First Child Teresa Helped
A young girl named Lily entered the foundation with her mother.
Her mother worked as a housekeeper.
Her employer had withheld months of wages.
They had nowhere to go.
Teresa personally met them.
Lily was holding a stuffed rabbit.
She looked around the office.
“Are you the boss?”
Teresa smiled.
“Yes.”
“Are you rich?”
Teresa laughed.
“Not the important kind.”
Lily frowned.
“What kind is important?”
Teresa knelt.
“The kind that lets you help someone feel safe.”
Lily thought about it.
Then smiled.
David watched from the doorway.
He remembered the first time Teresa had said she wanted a life without fear.
Now she was giving that life to someone else.
He realized the true heirloom had never been the necklace.
It was this.
