“Take off your coat. I’ll rebandage your wound.”

“No need for that,” Marcus replied indifferently before settling by the fire.

About ten minutes later, Marcus and Trenton detected a noise from outside, causing them to hold their breaths.

Trenton, now clutching his gun, frowned.

How did they catch up so quickly?”

“Out of your way!”

“Ahh!”

In Preagend, Millie, after work, visited her grandmother at the old house. She helped Freyja prepare medicine for her grandmother in the kitchen, but the gloomy weather outside weighed on her.

Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder echoed through the sky, startling her.

Freyja, concerned, asked, “Mrs. Thomas, are you afraid of thunderstorms?”

Millie, still shook, managed a nervous smile as she replied, “A bit.”

Freyja stirred the medicine in the pot and commented, “This sudden thunder is quite unnerving.”

Millie glanced at her phone, pondering if Marcus had returned by now.

“The medicine is ready.”

After putting her phone down, Millie said in a soft voice, “Freyja, take a break. Let me take the medicine to grandma.”

“Alright. Thank you. Mrs. Thomas really likes you, you know. She seems much better when you’re here.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Renata was busy watching TV when Millie entered.

“Hi, Grandma. It’s time for your medicine.”

“Okay, Millie. As long as you prepare the medicine, I’ll take it, no matter how bitter it is.”

Seeing her grandmother grimace while consuming the medicine, Millie and Freyja exchanged a knowing smile.

Outside, the rain intensified, and the winds howled. As Millie was about to close the hall’s window, her phone rang. It was Harlan.

“Where are you, Millie?” he asked.

He sounded very anxious over the phone. With the storm raging outside, her heart raced.

“I’m at the Thomas family house. What’s the matter, Harlan? Is everything okay?”
