Chapter 432

Seeing Lindy grow more and more distressed, Effie turned to Lyman. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," she assured him.

Lyman nodded and stepped aside. Still, he cautioned her quietly, "Be careful."

"I will."

Effie called out to Andie, and while Grace was distracted, she swiftly grabbed Grace by the neck and yanked her back.

Grace's face contorted as she struggled for air; in seconds, the discomfort overwhelmed her and she released her grip.

Effie dragged Grace aside before letting go. Gasping for breath, Grace rubbed her sore neck, glaring at Effie in disbelief.

"What are you doing, Effie?" Grace choked out, every word strained and halting.

Effie met her gaze, her voice even. "You need to calm down."

Turning to Andie, she gently reassured him, "It's alright now, Andie."

Andie finally stopped trembling. Effie gathered him up in her arms and took him to get cleaned up.
