Lindsay's face fell, fueling the imagination of the journalists, who had been watching them all so closely.
"What happened, Mrs. Saunders? Is it something serious?!" one of them promptly asked, keen for it to be some incredible headline.
Their reaction prompted the rest of the Saunders to turn toward Lindsay, and they realized something was wrong as well.
"What's wrong, dear?" Marvin promptly asked, but Lindsay's eyes were red with tears and she could not say a word.
"What's wrong? You're scaring me," Marvin repeated, starting to get nervous as well.
Sam was staring straight at Lindsay as well. "What is it, Mom?"
Lindsay's lips were trembling, but she still could not say a word as her tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
Sam's eyes narrowed, just as he noticed that her phone screen was still lit.
He promptly took it and read the text, and his face fell as well.
"Mr. Saunders? What happened here? What does the message say?" the journalists asked.
Sam, however, completely ignored them and got to his feet, leaving the press conference.
"Where are you going, Mr. Saunders? What happened?"
