"If he truly has the means to bring her down for good, wouldn't he be a valuable ally in our fight against Dorothy?"Jake blinked, taken aback by Sarah's directness. "I...

"...so that means you're staying longer this time around," she said with a hint of determination in her voice. "Yes, Mom, I have a lot of projects on ground," Lana's voice replied from the mobile phone, tinged with a touch of reluctance. "I miss you, my darling," Dorothy sighed wistfully, her words carrying a mix of affection and longing."I miss you too, Mother. I have to go now!"
