Jonathan knelt beside them, his heart breaking at the sight of the frail girl and her feverish siblings. “You did nothing wrong. Taking care of your brothers is a brave thing to do.”

Sandra opened her mouth to protest, but Jonathan’s commanding presence silenced her. “I’ll be in touch about your actions,” he added, signaling his driver to call the authorities.
