Her Place in His Heart by Isabella Reed

Chapter 4

The Parrish’s villa was only one story high, and the rooftop was only about ten meters above the ground.

But after Kyla jumped, my parents, Naomi, and Antonio all rushed toward her.

The sound of ambulances filled the villa that entire night.

After I lay on the bed, I checked my phone. It was 12:13 a.m. on December 2nd.

Antonio broke his promise; he didn’t celebrate my birthday with me.

But I didn’t feel as sad as before. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.

My parents and Naomi had been taking care of Kyla at the hospital, and they had never come back.
