Jones's housekeeper rolled and crawled over.
"Lord, Mr. Arlington, and his men at the altar were trying to take the holy virgin away."
Avery felt herself on a rollercoaster. She knew the device. If her mother was removed from the casket, the device would kick in. The altar would collapse. The mountain would fall down.
So the strong shake was because of that?
"Stop them!"
Andrew kicked them so hard while they were distracted. He grabbed Avery by her arm to run.
"Avery, can you run?"
Avery held her belly. She had to for the sake of her child.
They were running to the medicine room. There was a car waiting. As long as they got there, they could get out.
But what about her mother?
"Andrew, go without me. I have to go back to my mother."
"What are you talking about? The mountain is falling down. No one can save her. Don't waste your life dying with her! You're not alone now. Think of your child!"
