Chapter 131

Joy’s dilemma proved to be a tough nut to crack, and she couldn’t make it back. In her stead, Jeremy dutifully swung by every day to chauffeur Leanne to and from work.

By day, she was ensconced within the bustling hospital, and by night, she retreated to the high-security embrace of Crystal Cove Villas. Leanne wasn’t left to her own devices, nor did she encounter any more of the bizarre occurrences that had unsettled her that one day.

Donna rolled her eyes with contempt, “See, I told you these guys are all bark and no bite. They hide and talk big, but they wouldn’t dare to show their faces.”

Jeremy shot Leanne a text, saying he had a class reunion that evening and couldn’t pick her up.

Leanne replied, “No worries, I’m on the night shift today anyway.”

“Leanne’s on the graveyard shift, huh?” Amy fretted, “What if that creep decides to show up in the middle of the night?”

“Don’t jinx it, Amy, knock on wood,” Donna quickly interjected, before turning to Leanne with advice, “Make sure you buddy up when you head to the restroom, don’t go alone.”

Leanne nodded and opened her drawer to reveal her secret weapon, “I’m prepared.”
