Part 4, Chapter 74 Summary

The narration switches back to Millie’s point of view.

Millie is horrified by what happened to Nico and just as horrified that Ada killed a man. She comforts Ada as she cries and promises that she won’t go to jail, as what happened was not Ada’s fault. Ada shows Millie the stained shirt she was wearing, but Millie doesn’t know what to do with it.

Millie realizes that Enzo knows that Ada did it, since the murder weapon was the knife that he gave Ada. Millie calls Cecelia and tells her about Ada. Cecelia says that the courts will not throw an 11-year-old in jail for defending herself and promises to get Enzo out of jail. Millie wants to heal her family and get them all in therapy as soon as possible.

Part 4, Chapter 75 Summary

Enzo is still in jail, as the family cannot afford bail. Millie tells the kids that Enzo will come home, but she’s not sure when. When Enzo calls from jail, Millie asks him why he confessed. He would do anything for their children. Millie tells him to retract his confession because the police won’t arrest Ada. Then, Enzo reminds her that Jonathan’s throat was slit, which does not fit Ada’s story: When Jonathan was chasing her, Ada must have slit his throat to make sure he was dead, which even Millie finds chilling.
