Nancy Shea thought that life was playing too big a joke on her today.
A police station called her, delivering two pieces of unfortunate news.
Her daughter was suspected of a crime and needed to be investigated.
The second piece of news was that June Sherman had been beaten into the hospital, still undergoing treatment, condition unknown.
Nancy Shea's heart skipped a beat at that moment.
She rushed to the hospital first to learn about June Sherman's condition.
She had been knocked unconscious, had a mild concussion, and had been slapped, worsening the injuries from a few days earlier, causing a perforated eardrum.
The condition was somewhat serious, and surgical repair might also impact her hearing.
Nancy Shea listened to the doctor's report, her entire expression wooden.
