Even Winston came over to have a look at Yuliana to see if she would come back to life.

Unsure if Finnegan would go back on his word, Bernice grabbed on to Finnegan’s arm tightly.

Three minutes soon went by, and Jerome could no longer stand the pain of losing his granddaughter. He grabbed Jerome by the collar once again and yelled, “Well? What do you have to say for yourself now? Give me back my granddaughter!”

“Please calm down, Mr. Magnussen,” Bernice tried to talk him out of it, but Jerome refused to listen.

That was when Wynter noticed something and exclaimed in surprise, “Wait a minute, what’s that thing inside Ms. Magnussen’s neck?”

Jerome turned around and saw something crawling around underneath Yuliana’s skin.

“Yuliana!” Jerome exclaimed in joy after a brief pause.

There are no proven ways to diagnose this
