Chapter 437 In the room, Susanna clutched her blanket, looking as pitiful as a kitten caught in a rainstorm. "I'm really not hungry..." she murmured.

Faced with Hull's commanding tone, Susanna knew better than to argue. Reluctantly, she dragged herself out of bed.

Last night, in a bid for security, she had stacked several pieces of furniture against the door. Moving them in the dead of night hadn't seemed too difficult, but now, with an empty stomach, each piece felt like it weighed a ton.
