Chapter 203

Amid the skeptical voices, the store clerk suddenly swayed violently and toppled to the side.

“Whoa” Archie instinctively reached out to catch her.

But when he met her bloodshot eyes, he was startled. He quickly backed away and hurriedly called for an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived swiftly and took the clerk away.

Theon and Erik stepped in front of Nyx, shielding her. “No.”

The sight of two men and a pregnant woman seemed to surprise the property staff, but they didn’t ask any questions. After taking their temperatures, they handed them supplies such as vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, seasonings, flour, and cooking oil.
