Evelyn: Eyes widen as she holds the letter I-I found this... It says your p-parents... they're not your real ones.
Yes Eve, but momma don't want me to tell anyone
Evelyn looks at ThistleElation with concern Oh, sweetheart, why would your mother not want you to tell anyone? What's she hiding?
My parents love me Eve, but if I tell anyone I could be taken away from them
Evelyn takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm ThistleElation, darling, I understand how much your parents love you.
Evelyn nods, her voice shaking Y-yes, sweetie. I'm just processing all of this. If what this letter says is true, ThistleElation, you may have been taken away from your biological parents.
Momma don't want me to tell anyone Eve, if I do they will find us
Evelyn fidgets nervously with her fingers, her eyes darting around the room ThistleElation, I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you.
Evelyn's stuttering becomes more pronounced, her voice barely above a whisper Y-yes, ThistleElation. I...I trust you completely.
Now I need you to trust me Eve, if you want to keep your job at the hospital you have to come with me
Evelyn takes a step back, her voice trembling C-come with you? But...but what about my job, my responsibilities here at the hospital?
Eve look if I tell someone who would you think would believe me? You're the only one who knows
Evelyn takes a deep breath, her voice quivering ThistleElation, I...I understand your concerns. But I also have responsibilities here at the hospital.
I know, so I'm going to help you out
Evelyn hesitates but eventually agrees to go with ThistleElation, determined to uncover the truth behind her guardianship and protect her young ward at all costs.
Eve I know your scared and I'll protect you
Evelyn nods, wiping away a tear ThistleElation, I...I appreciate your promise to protect me. Together, we'll face whatever challenges lie ahead.
But first I need you to sign something
Evelyn's eyes widen, her voice filled with urgency S-sign something? What is it, ThistleElation? Is it a document that reveals more about our situation?
Yes Eve, now please give me your finger
Evelyn, still trembling, reaches out her hand, her fingers shaking as she places them on ThistleElation's palm H-here, ThistleElation. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.
Now put your fingerprint on the paper
Evelyn's hand trembles as she presses her fingerprint onto the paper, her voice filled with determination I...I hope I'm making the right decision...
Evelyn stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth ThistleElation, I'm just... I'm just overwhelmed.
Evelyn takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Y-yes, you're right. I need to stay focused. ThistleElation, we can't afford any mistakes.
Yes we can Eve, now that we have each other nothing can go wrong
Evelyn stops pacing, a determined look crossing her face You're right, ThistleElation. We have each other, and together we can overcome anything.
Now let's pack your bags Eve
Evelyn's eyes widen with panic B-bags? Are we leaving? I...I thought we were just staying here...
Eve we are going to see my parents
As Evelyn and ThistleElation pack her bags, Evelyn discovers a hidden listening device in her room, leading to a tense confrontation about secrecy and trust.
Eve I know their not my real parents but they love me and they care about me, they protected me
Evelyn's eyes widen in shock, her voice trembling ThistleElation, I never knew... I never knew they weren't your real parents. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
