Linda recognized Nina Immediately as Luke’s mother.

Nina took a deep look at Luke lying on the hospital bed before following Linda outside to sit on a bench.

“I know my son cares for you,” Nina began. “So much so that he came begging me for help on your behalf, even though he would never normally do such a thing
