Chapter 129

In the hospital room, their presence had left Ursula absolutely gobsmacked as they stood by the doorway.

They exchanged bewildered looks, none intending to break the silence first.

It was Stella's voice that shattered the stillness, "Is this Old Mrs. Zeller really that important to him? This is my second time here."

"She's quite important, yes," came Idris' reply.

Stella had been dreading this visit. Especially since getting to the old lady's room meant passing by Ursula's.

Seeing Yorick, Jaxon, and Cloudia standing there like statues struck by lightning was a sight to behold.

Stella exchanged a glance with Idris, who also looked at the trio. Ultimately, Stella chose to say nothing and hurried past. This place irritated her, and she wanted to spend as little time here as possible. Once they walked past them, Stella whispered to Idris, "What's up with them? Look like they've been struck by lightning."

Idris replied, "No lightning indoors, I reckon they got the shock of their lives."
