Now that my plan had begun, my mother could no longer stay at the hospital; it was far too exposed and unsafe.
I adjusted my tone and said softly to her, "Mom, you can't stay here any longer. This place is too easily discovered. Tonight, I'll arrange for someone to secretly take you away. I may not be able to visit you often in the coming days, but I'll stay in touch every day to let you know I'm safe. Please don't worry about me."
My mother gently stroked my hair, her eyes filled with tenderness. "I understand, my dear. I'm so proud of how much you've grown, but my heart aches for you too. Don't wear yourself out."
I held back tears and nodded. Then I informed Darian, who safely moved my mother to Prosperity Group.
The entire process was carried out discreetly; no one noticed a thing.
