Yehua was startled by the anger radiating from Second Uncle and Second Aunt Pollock. She quickly tried to calm them.
“Mr. Pollock, Mrs. Pollock, please sit down and talk slowly,” she said gently. “What exactly happened? I truly don’t know. Dr. Legare drank too much last night and hasn’t returned to the clinic all day. If he offended you in any way, please let me know.”
She poured them each a cup of warm water.
Second Uncle Pollock said angrily, “Call Joaquin and tell him to come here. We need to talk to him face to face. His family has gone too far. Our Pollock family has lived here for generations, and his mother actually dared to tell Aitana to move out.

“Miss Yehua, we all know about you and Joaquin. If you truly love him, then pursue him openly and properly. Be decisive. Don’t let him chase after other women. His so-called feelings have brought nothing but harm to my Aitana.”
Second Uncle Pollock was furious—not only because of what happened to Aitana, but because he felt deeply betrayed.
