18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 123

Seeing Rosie on the verge of tears, Cody, fearing a beating from Jasper, immediately stopped teasing her. "Alright, alright, Stella is part of your family."

Stella playfully tossed a cushion at him. "You never know when to quit, even going so far as to tease a child."

Cody caught the cushion, grinning ear to ear. "My bad, entirely my bad."

Rosie scratched her head, as if she'd found a solution. "Cody, I'll add her to the drawing."

And she didn't just add Stella, but everyone else as well - her, her brother, Cooper, their pet rabbits, and their big house.

After spending time in room 1803, Rosie seemed reluctant to leave, hesitating as if wanting to say something.

Stella beckoned her over. "Rosie, do you have something to say to us?"

Rosie hesitated a little. "Yes."

"What is it?"

However, Rosie didn't know how to go about it, especially since Cody and the others wouldn't be around then.

The people living on the 18th floor were able to fend off looters all thanks to Jasper's guidance, but all three had to work and couldn't take time off to celebrate for him.

Stella, who had been given a clear explanation, sighed.

The crew still left in the dark, departing at five in the morning and reaching the meeting point by eight.
