I have never met any relatives on my mother's side. Me and my always thought that mom was an only child and that she has no other family left.

Because they know that women can survive, that the willingness to do anything to survive is always born with the women in their family. It is the same reason why Violet is not worried when Patricia got taken by Santiago. She knew that her daughter has the capacity to survive long enough to be rescued, or until a window of opportunity comes.

A putrid smell is coming out from the box, and all of them are too familiar in such smell. The moment Gonzalo and Patricia came down to the living room, they immediately gave the order to open the wooden box. And, no matter how strong their stomachs are, seeing what was the content of the box rattled them. "Oh, God! That's Benson." One of their men exclaimed. "I'm going to skin those bastard alive!"
