Stella raised her eyebrows. "Someone died?"

Susanna nodded. "Yeah, they were rushed to the hospital. One of the kids got hurt, too, but there's no update yet."

Stella gasped. She used to think she was a saint when she first joined the Larkin family, but now she realized the woman had no qualms about harming even children.

"Looking for me?" Stella was puzzled.
